Dietary regulation
Scholars attribute the rising weight of China’s abrupt change in lifestyle and diet, caused by the rapid growth of the economy. According to nutritionists and food safety, healthy life depends on maintaining a balanced diet and physical exercise, something which lacks the daily routine of many Chinese.
The survey also announced that, on average, the Chinese visit two to three times a month the Western fast food outlets. These are partly to blame for the current obesity in Chinese, but the rapid expansion of McDonald’s and KFC in the country continues to demonstrate the enormous transformation of the structure of food in China. The traditional local diet, based mainly on cereals and vegetables, with very little meat, it was considered advisable and favorable to the health of the Chinese.
Diet also means preventive health and curative health. So each village is at an early stage of disease response to their environment. And this attitude is not empirical or improvised: Part of the ancient modes of adaptation to complex similarity ecosistsemas forms of social organization too complex. Where the survival of these ecosystems are part of food sustainability and whole life, developing an ecological ethic linked to shamanism and other forms of initiation and coexistence with nature: not deplete the earth, not to kill the female, not to fish in times of breeding, not eating certain foods forbidden by an intricate ecological ethic in their spirituality.
All this allows us to see and feel that in principle no people food system is simple, all are complex, with a sense of change and persistence of the initial matrix. But the diets of the current globalization represent further fragmentation and dissociation, the result of individualism and unbridled consumerism waste. Victim of media time and consumerism, which runs at faster and faster, without a trace in our memories and in our soil. From loneliness and isolation of man in global time advances in communications carrier in disruptive technologies. Confinement with himself and others.Everything is historical diet.
Chinese Dietary Regulation
Diet is considered one of the main lines of treatment in Chinese medicine: acupuncture treatments and herbal medicines are made only after the diet changes fail to cure the problem. Chinese medicine uses foods to keep the body’s internal harmony and a state of balance with the external environment. In giving dietary advice, Chinese doctors take into account the climate, season, geography of the area and the patient’s specific imbalances (including emotional) to select foods to avoid excess or needed to fill gaps. The basic dietary and preventive care, for example, would eat in the summer yin and yang is the station. By contrast, in winter, yang foods should be eaten to counteract the yin temperatures. In the case of illness, yin symptom patterns (fatigue, pale complexion, weak voice) would be treated with yang foods, while yang symptoms (red face, loud, restlessness) may be treated by yin foods.
Chinese medicine also uses food as therapy in combination with exercise and herbal preparations. One aspect of a balanced diet is to maintain the proper balance between rest and activity and how to select the right foods for the season and other circumstances. If a person not getting enough exercise, the body can not convert food to Vital Essence. If they are hyperactive, the body consumes too much of its own substances. For preparations, herbal tonics how the Chinese use part of a meal before you start taking them as medicine. The herbs used in Chinese food to give specific medicinal qualities as well as flavor. For example, ginger can be added to fish dishes to counteract fever. The feeding treatments and doctors are strongly related to traditional Chinese medicine. A classic Chinese meal consists of a balance not only flavors, aromas, textures and colors in the dishes you serve, but also in the energy supplied to the body for several ingredients.
