TCM Nutrition

Traditional Chinese Martial Artists were sometimes but not always healers in their communities. One way that the traditional stylist to get the most out of their training is to eat according to the natural cycles of the earth. Now it is important to not go crazy. We have fast paced lives. The needs of children, jobs, and life can throw off everyone's diet. I was a strict vegetarian for 10 years and would never have eaten the crap that I eat now that I have a family. HA! Now I just try to eat fresh, local, and in season. We do eat pizza and hot dogs. But when you have three children at home that don't share your ideas about nutrition...you do what you have to do. There are days when you are too worn out or tired to fix that all organic meal.

If you are interested in TCM nutrition, I highly recognize this course from my herb teacher. Not only will you learn the energetics of food in this course but you will learn many of the principals of Traditional Chinese Medicine as well. You can't go wrong.
