All disease is defined by the body (structure and function). The body digests food and transforms nutrients into blood, structure and function, as it builds up (anabolism) and breaks down (catabolism). THERE ARE ONLY TWO kinds of food, nutrients: building (hot, yang) and cleansing (cold, yin).
The correct amount of building and cleansing foods produces the correct amount of blood, structure and function where the body mind can thrive. Any amounts, grater or less, in the extreme, tend to cause disease via too much (OVERBUILT, YANG) or too little (UNDER BUILT, YIN) blood, structure and function. There are only TWO DIETARY DISEASES
Protein and fat, buidling foods (red meat, chicken, turkey, fish, eggs, cheese, and to a lesser extent beans, nuts, seeds, etc.) build, fuel, thicken, heat, hold, etc.
TOO MUCH PROTEIN AND FAT, especially red meat, pork, turkey, chicken, etc. tends to overbuild, thicken and heat the blood (high cholesterol, tumors, cancer), liver (congestion), arteries (plaque, atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure), skin (acne, warts, psoriasis), head (restlessness, insomnia), kidneys (stones), stomach (ulcer), body odor (putrid, offensive), large intestines (dry stools, constipation, tumors), etc.
TOO LITTLE PROTEIN AND FAT tends to thin, weaken, slow digestion (abdominal bloating), blood (thin, anemic), face, skin, nails, hair (pale, thin, cracked), bones (osteoporosis), immune system (weak immunity, catches colds, easily, autoimmune illnesses), ovaries, uterus (infertility, miscarriage, short-term pregnancy), testes (impotence, premature ejaculation), etc.
TOO MUCH water sugar, minerals (salads, tropical fruits, juices, smoothies, sugar, ice cream) reduce, cleanse, cool and moisten digestion (abdominal bloating, gas), stools (loose, diarrhea), body odor (sour, sweet, musty), respiration (mucous, phlegm, coughing, snoring, hacking, sleep apnea), reproduction (vaginal discharges, leukorrhea, yeast infections), breasts (cysts, lumps (movable), thighs, legs (edema, cellulite), etc. Too little causes dryness (constipation, coughing).
Too little building and too much cleansing tends to cause cold, damp, under built diseases. Too much building tends to cause overbuilt, thick diseases.
TREATMENT of dietary diease is very simple. Eat (foods, herbs) in the opposite direction until balance, health is acheived. This does not mean that you go from one extreme to the other, as extremes cause disease. Health is created through a balance of opposites: building (hot) and cleansing (cold). Eat a balanced diet (middle diet, meal plan: 1/3 building, 1/3 grain, 1/3 vegetables (3- 5, cooked, raw), fruit (1), spices, tea and or soup) that is tainted in the opposite direction.
Eat more building (red meat, chicken, turkey, eggs hard cheese) and less cleansing foods (salads, tropical fruits, juices, smoothies, cold drinks, sugar), herbs (bitter) , etc. if your condition is COLD, UNDER BUILT. Eat more cleansing (fruits, vegetables) and less building (animal, fried foods) food, herbs, etc. if your condition is hot, overbuilt.
There are only two dietary symptoms, diseases despite the variety. While most people, including doctors see an nonsensical list of symptoms, diseases (high cholesterol, tumors, cancer, liver congestion, cirrhosis, atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, warts, psoriasis, restlessness, insomnia, kidney stones, stomach ulcer, body odor (putrid, offensive), dry stools, constipation, abdominal bloating, thin blood, anemia, pallor, thin, cracked skin, nails, and hair, osteoporosis, weak immunity, catches colds, easily, autoimmune illnesses, infertility, miscarriage, short-term pregnancy, impotence, premature ejaculation, gas, loose stools, diarrhea, body odor, mucous, phlegm, coughing, snoring, hacking, sleep apnea, vaginal discharges, leukorrhea, yeast infections, cysts, lumps (movable), edema, cellulite, constipation, coughing, etc.), I see only only: overbuilt and under built.
I also only see two causes, cures, treatment plans. Learn biology, diet and nutrition unless you want someone else (doctors, insurance companies) taking care of your health and FINANCES
