Eating Guide
Listen to your body and not your mind. If you crave a salad, enjoy it but add a cup of tea so the cold essence of the salad doesn’t impact you. If you want something sweet, honor your Stomach’s request by choosing fruit, or a small bowl of ice cream. If you want something crunchy, how about making a mixture of nuts and goji berries? Craving soups and noodles? Go for it.
