They claim that&nbsp;health is not only the absence of a disease, it&#8217;s a joyfulness that&nbsp;should be inside us all the time. It&#8217;s a state of positive wellbeing. The way we eat and&nbsp;combine our food will affect us not only physically, but&nbsp;also emotionally.<\/p>\n<p>The experience of TASTE is one of the most enjoyable experiences in&nbsp;life. Chinese medicine addresses that&nbsp;when a person gets over \u2014 or&nbsp;underweight, the person has stopped enjoying the food. If&nbsp;we enjoy food, we will not tend to have a weight problem.<\/p>\n<h3>Some techniques<\/h3>\n<p class=\"accent\">Here are a few techniques that&nbsp;will give you eating awareness. This is how you can maximize your satiety level when&nbsp;eating:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Whenever&nbsp;you eat sit down<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t do anything else<\/li>\n<li>Eat when&nbsp;the stomach is empty. It takes approximately four hours from you eat till&nbsp;your stomach is empty, but&nbsp;this can off course vary a little from person to person.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t take a new bite before&nbsp;the previous bite has come to the stomach<\/li>\n<li>Eat\u00a0 2\/3 of what you feel you need. Studies show that&nbsp;people eating fewer calories than&nbsp;the average of the population tend to have better health and&nbsp;live longer. It will take you 10-15 minutes from you have stopped eating, till&nbsp;your brain will know if&nbsp;the stomach is full.<\/li>\n<li>Use sesame oil on&nbsp;the tongue to enhance the taste buds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The six tastes<\/h3>\n<p>Many people experience strong cravings for&nbsp;a certain type of food.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally food has six flavors to it. If&nbsp;the taste buds are not experiencing these six different tastes during the day, the imbalance will occur. This will give even&nbsp;stronger cravings. We do have all these certain taste buds for&nbsp;a reason.<\/p>\n<p>THE SIX TASTES ARE THE FOLLOWING:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sweet taste:<\/strong> bread, rice, cream, milk honey (not concentrated sugar)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sour:<\/strong> lemon, yogurt, cheese<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:<\/strong> seafood, salted things<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bitter:<\/strong> green leafy vegetables, spinach, broccoli, endives, coffee<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pungent: <\/strong>all kinds of spices, horseradish, mustard, black pepper, jalapeno<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Astringents<\/strong>:<\/strong> beans, lentils, peas (ex. Mexican food)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Cravings<\/h3>\n<p>If&nbsp;your body is exposed to all these tastes for&nbsp;one meal daily, spontaneously the cravings will disappear.<br \/> In&nbsp;our modern society, we tend to eat too much sweet, sour and&nbsp;salt, ex french fries and&nbsp;ketchup with diet coke (diet coke gives ten times more sweet taste than&nbsp;normal coke). We constantly expose ourselves to these three tastes, which&nbsp;give imbalance and&nbsp;more cravings.<\/p>\n<p>My own experience of going on&nbsp;a beautiful cruise was exactly this! It was served all kinds of food on&nbsp;different buffers for&nbsp;twenty-four hours. Many people suffering from severe overweight, were eating mostly these three tastes all day and&nbsp;could not stop. On&nbsp;the other hand, it can be very joyful and&nbsp;easy to eat healthy on&nbsp;a cruise ship or&nbsp;on a typical all-inclusive resort. If&nbsp;one certainly knows how to pick all the good meat, chicken and&nbsp;fish altogether with lots of vegetables, good dressings and&nbsp;some fruits. Then it will be very healthy and&nbsp;satisfying. When&nbsp;you are in&nbsp;such nice places, don`t fill up your stomach with bread and&nbsp;pasta!<\/p>\n<h3>The hidden secret<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Talking about this, let us mention &#8220;the hidden secret&#8221; about the French people; They traditionally eat a very small sweet breakfast, a high protein and&nbsp;high-fat lunch and&nbsp;dinner with lots of vegetables. The vegetables come in&nbsp;both raw and&nbsp;cooked forms. No <\/span>processed<span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u00a0foods. The white bread is always served on&nbsp;the side of the table, but&nbsp;especially the women have learned from their mothers and&nbsp;grandmothers to just look at&nbsp;it. They don`t eat it! The French people eat slowly and&nbsp;they enjoy!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Most traditionally diets, even&nbsp;if&nbsp;they originally come from Southern Europe, Northern Europe, Mexico, India, China or&nbsp;Japan, they all tend to have a right combination of the foods. They do not contend the processed foods, especially concentrated carbohydrates which&nbsp;gives a lot of hidden calories. This ensures that&nbsp;there are many different ways of eating and&nbsp;combining food that&nbsp;is healthy and&nbsp;keeping your weight normal.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are quite a good number of studies showing different foods that&nbsp;are good for&nbsp;fertility, I will write about them in&nbsp;this blog!<\/p>\n<p>Vibeke Fjeld<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They claim that health is not only the absence of a disease, it&#8217;s a joyfulness that should be inside us all the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":21648,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[118],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Nutrition from a chinese perspective - O.L.G.A.
