Cool, warm or neutral foods

Foods that are cool, warm or neutral

Each food has diverse qualities, such as cool, warm, or neutral. We can divide foods into three categories for ease of use: cooling foods, natural foods, and warming foods.

What we eat today shapes who we become tomorrow. Choosing which foods to eat can have a huge impact on your health.

Every one of us is born with a unique personality. The same is true for animals, plants, flowers, trees, and other living things. We are also born with an energy imbalance among our organs. This is reflected in our physical appearance and organ function.

Just as animals are naturally drawn to specific vegetation, people are drawn to certain foods. If we consume an excessive number of these foods, it will impair our health because it will disrupt the balance in our bodies.

The dietary classifications discussed below differ from those used in western medicine and chemical analysis.

If your subjective temperature is naturally warm, consume cooling foods first and then neutral foods as supplements.

If your subjective body temperature is cool or cold, eat mostly warming and neutral foods.

Any item that causes gas and bloating after eating should be avoided since your body does not appreciate it, even if it is listed as excellent food for you on the list.
