Health and Wellbeing

Through thousands of years of Chinese history and experience, a dietary therapy system evolved. This dietary therapy ensures optimum body functions.
Every season requires a different dietary intake and regime. Our body is closely linked and aligned to the seasons and responds to the seasons. Each category of food has a relationship to specific organs. When the seasons, diet and organs are correctly linked and aligned health results. Through our diet and intake of food, we can achieve the best function from our organs, leading to prevention of illnesses and longer, healthier life.

健康与人生 Health and Life

“民以食为天“，这是中国的一句古话，但是我们在享受美食的同时， 不要忘记食物对自己身体健康的重要。目前世界各地健康组织提出回复大自然各营养专家认为，平时多吃蔬菜，水果， 少吃肉类，多吃粗粮， 五谷杂粮，素食等等，对人的健康有好处， 是目前提出的一种好的饮食习惯。让我对目前日常生活中的食物提出一点点的看法。
There is a saying in Chinese that ‘food is the most essential thing in life’.
Whilst we are eating and enjoying various foods, we must also remember their benefits for our health.
It is recognized by worldwide health experts that we should eat more fruit and vegetables, less meat and processed foods, and more natural grains.
The following comments are some of my opinions which, if taken into account on a daily basis, can greatly improve and maintain health.

In this world, no matter if you are rich or poor, everyone passionately rather wishes for a healthy body, and not having to find cures for diseases. No one can control his own time of birth or death, but everyone can control his own life to achieve a healthy and long life with:
A good lifestyle and living habits.
A good diet and eating regime.
A regular suitable exercise to maintain one’s health and body.
Prevention is better than a cure. We all need a good healthy  life style and diet; eat more fruit and vegetables, choose seasonal foodstuff to promote the internal balance of our organs to attain optimal health year after year.
Life may be a few scores of years but age should only be a mere number to us if we can live happily, healthily and meaningfully.
We should keep our heart young and our mind open, contentment can keep illnesses away from us.  The most important thing is to choose a suitable exercise that we can practise regularly and consistently, such as Tai Chi & Chi Gung, if practised over long period, can keep our body young and healthy, and our mind calm for a long life.
