In Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, food is considered the No. 1 treatment and the first line of defense.
Food is medicine, it really is.
As a licensed acupuncturist in NYC, my clients often ask me what they should eat for health.
Most people eat 3 meals a day. What you put in your body will keep you afloat or sink your health and energy.
In order to absorb food and nutrients, you need good digestion. The large intestine, small intestine, and Spleen are just a few important organs responsible for food absorption and digestion.
Therapies in our clinic such as ozone therapy, bioresonance, Chinese Herbs, and acupuncture, to name a few can help regulate your digestion.
After doing a little research I decided to put extra virgin olive oil first. Everyone has a bottle of olive oil in their home and it's super easy to use it.
I like organic virgin oil from Whole Foods best. It slightly burns your throat after drinking it.
Currently trying Moroccan olive oil
* Strong anti-inflammatory properties
*Helps against Heart Disease
* a Large number of antioxidants
* May help prevent strokes
*** People who use 1/2 a tablespoon of olive oil a day are less likely to die from heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, and lung disease.
Soak garlic in olive oil (drink a tea spoon before meals) to improve your skin, joints, heart, lung, and brain health.
When I was in my acupuncture school, someone asked my teacher who was a Daoist priestess that what the best herb to use for health is. My teacher answered mushrooms.
*** Mushrooms ***
Reishi mushrooms and cordyceps are my best as they strengthen your energy, blood, heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys. They can be used in your tea or coffee.
