Eating certain types of food in the winter
may help us weather the cold times better,
according to the Yellow Emperor’s Medical Classic,
Neijing SuWen.
During the winter months, Chinese Medicine suggest
eating more root vegetables like carrots, yams and turnips.
Also, upping your intake of high-energy foods, foods
high in calcium, amino acids, vitamins A and B2 and
Vitamin C-rich foods is suggested for your winter diet.
Good sources for the above:
You can take a coral calcium supplement or get your
calcium from milk, cheese, seaweed, yogurt or other
foods high in calcium. Emperor’s Herbologist also
suggest their own product, JAJA Pearl Powder, which
is high in both protein and calcium.
Getting extra B2, A, C and Aminos can also be accomplished
either with supplementation (liquid supplements are far more
effective than tablets or capsules due to the higher rate of
absorbability) or through increasing foods high in those vitamins
and aminos.
B2-rich foods include eggs, liver and milk. Liver also has a good
portion of Vitamin A. Other foods to add vitamin A to the diet include
pumpkins, carrots and chinese sweet potatos (characterized by
a orange-reddish colored inner meat).
