Eastern and Western medicine understand that proper nourishment is key to mental and physical wellbeing. The gut is now recognised as a key player in regulating inflammation and immunity rather than having a sole purpose of digestion. In fact, 70-90% of the immune system cells can be found in the gut and it is also estimated that 90% of the body’s serotonin (our happy hormone) is also produced there. Busy lifestyles, hectic work schedules, and poor sleep patterns can negatively influence our eating habits and food choices, hugely affecting our overall wellness.
Traditional Chinese principles adopted in relation to food differ from patient to patient and from season to season, while recognising that we are all different and respond differently to the external environment.
