How do you know the needs of the body? Simply follow the willingness of the body at that time because the desire is a natural alarm or signal in needing something at some point.
If you wanna eat or drink something hot or cold, just follow. Why, it's because the nature of the human body is also divided between the two, hot and cold.
A simple example is, if you're hot, you're active, irritable, and liking to be in a cool place. Meanwhile, if you're cold, you'll be more muted, like warm drinking, and prefer to be in a hot place.
Well, the stomach is cold and hot either. In the cold stomach, spicy eating will be mediocre, even balanced. However, in the hot stomach, if it's filled with spicy food, you immediately feel uncomfortable.
This reaction arises because the body naturally gives signals if its needs are met or excess.
If the body or stomach feels not good, it's the sign to quit the intake. Uneasy feeling is a part of the process of the body to harmonize the yin and yang. If the body is feeling good, it means, yin and yang are balanced.
The yin foods, for example, are vegetables and fruits. Meanwhile, the yang foods, among others, are meat and fish.
Vegetables and fruits are mostly cold. However, if you want more detail, note where they grow up. For example, vegetables grown in cool place are hot instead.
Meanwhile, animals are essentially hot because they're always moving, both of which live on land or in water. Unless the animals are kept in cages, the nature will be a yin.
If you're still able to eat hot or cold foods or beverages, it means that your health is good. If your body ain't balanced, for example, just choosing one flavor, either hot or cold, or not both, it's a sign that the body is diseased.
Naturally, the body signals will also be disturbed the function with advancing age. In the elderly, you can't know what the needs of your own body. In this period, organs have begun to diminish the function.
It's characterized by malaise of any food. Desire ain't clear. This condition will come when you're experiencing menopause.
While you ain't old, to be healthy, in addition to eating foods with the principles of yin and yang, it's better supported by the lifestyle that follows a pattern of chi or meridians.
Meridian patterns in the human body have traditionally been used as acupuncture points. At the meridian points, there're various flows of chi. Some are rotating, and others are running inside and outside the veins.
The function of the three chis is the same, namely as the endurance of the germ attacks. Chi trips in and out the blood vessels are opposite. The chi trip patterns offer a lifestyle in harmony and balance. No matter how busy you are, preferably before 23:00, you already go to sleep. If it's forced to work, it'll damage the liver instead.
Here's the pattern of life that follows the chi trip:
