Asian Lotus Clinica Acupuntura | Tradicional medicina china

"He that takes medicine and neglects diet, wastes the skills of the physician."
(Chinese proverb)

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine can help you greatly in your quest to achieve optimum health, but this is not the only factor. It involves a whole different out look on life, both physical and emotional, "Emotion always has its roots in the unconscious and manifests itself in the body." It means you have to change your life style and get rid of your bad habits, which includes your consumption. What to eat and how to eat is important. But moderation is the key. Yin and Yang must be balanced. Always eat one serving, even if you feel a little hungry after one serving, never go back for a second one. Think of it this way, if you leave a little room in your stomach, other hungry children can have the food that you are not eating. You’re not only helping yourself to feel good with your random kindness but you are helping others.

When you eat, eat like you are meditating. Have you ever heard the saying drink your foods and eat the water? So focus on your food and respect the farmers who offer you the food you’re enjoying. No phone, no computer, no tv, no distraction.

The food list on the nutrition section have helped many patients to achieve their goals whether it be to lose weight or to lower your high blood pressure or to lower your cholesterol . . . These practices have yielded great results for patients that follow these suggestions with good discipline.

How would you enjoy your life even if you are a billionaire without great health? 

So remember, "The body never lies." Listen to your body and what it is telling you.
