Heavier fish like tuna and swordfish are recommended as well as eggs, chicken and wild game. Millet, barley, chickpeas and sesame seeds are also on the menu. If the weather is hot, eat melon or apples. If it gets cooler, have squash pie or baked apples. As a rule, cooked foods are warmer than raw and are more easily digested.
Variety is also important because different foods have different nutrients.
A healthy diet is made up of a variety of fruits and vegetables with grains and some protein. These foods do not provide healthy nutrients and should be strictly limited or avoided altogether. Because everyone is different certain foods will be good for one but should be avoided by another. Seeking advice from a TCM or Ayurvedic practitioner or other nutrition-oriented health care provider is recommended to improve a specific condition. Although much can be accomplished to improve health through the diet, it may not cover everything.
