Dietary imbalances or extremes will negatively effect the organs and the qi. An excessively stimulating diet, for example, will stimulate body processes, triggering infinite variations of inflamation, fever, hyperactivity, or hormonal abnormalities. Such patterns appear as fevers, sweats, insomnia, hyperthyroid, inflamatory skin conditions, etc,. These conditions will be worsened by over-consumption of foods considered “hot”, stimulating, or yang in nature. Overstimulated people may benefit from foods that are considered “cool”, “calming”, or “yin”. Conversely, those who have cold, or “yang deficient” conditions such as low blood pressure, hypersomnia, sciatica, hypothyroid, Hashimoto’s complex, etc., may do better with a more stimulating (yang) diet. Keep in mind, when altering your diet, that moderation rules. Changes are most sustainable when they are introduced gradually. |
