Foods that are cold, warm, or neutral
Each food has diverse qualities, such as cold, warm, or neutral. We can divide foods into three categories for convenience: cold foods, neutral foods, and warm foods.
What we eat today shapes who we become tomorrow. Choosing which foods to eat can have an impact on your health.
Every one of us is born with a unique personality. The same applies to animals, plants, flowers, trees, and other living things. We are also born with an energy imbalance among our organs. It reflects in our physical appearance and organ function.
Just as animals become naturally drawn to specific vegetation, people feel 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 cold and neutral foods as supplements.
If your subjective body temperature is cold, eat warm and neutral foods.
You should avoid any item that causes gas and bloating after eating since your body does not appreciate it, even if it is suitable food for you on the list.
