Here is some food for thought: The following are some health tips from a small Chinese article found on the internet, which shares a few Chinese principles on how to live a healthy life.

Monterey Language Services has translated and summarized parts of it and hopes that this can become a thought-provoking little tidbit for everyone as we reflect on how to stay healthy, especially during the holiday season.

Chew Carefully

Diabetes is a systemic metabolic disorder. One main cause is a pancreas that’s working too hard. One way to avoid overworking your pancreas is to reduce the burden on it by chewing your food slowly!

The “One Less, Three More” Rule

One Less: Less eating
Three More: More rest, More water, More sweat

Sweat Is Your Friend

Sweat can be a powerful ally because when your body is sweating, it helps protect you from all kinds of diseases!

Eat Until You Are Only Half Full

The more you eat, the more oxygen your body uses up. This creates a lack of oxygen in the cells, leading to more pressure on your heart and thus, higher blood pressure. So, eating until you’re only half-full is actually a good idea, since your body will use less oxygen. When your body signals hunger, it’s the best time for it to detoxify and increase the functioning of your immune system.

An empty stomach and a warm, sweating body are an effective way to stimulate your body’s metabolism, to cleanse/detoxify the blood and to activate the regeneration of cells! When your digestive system is in action, it slows down your body’s natural method of detoxifying itself.

Oxygen Is a Panacea

Oxygen is a panacea that helps the body cure diseases. It strengthens the body’s immune system and the ability of the glands responsible for regulating it. It also controls the ability of cancer patients to fight the disease!
