As the Chinese New Year is over, my weight also raised to a new level. After eating too much meat, I lost my appetite. So, I begin to eat some plain food for each meal. Now I don’t want to eat spicy food anymore unlike the last few months. In Chinese culture, we have a special and unique word to describe this phenomenon, it is "Shanghuo". Literally, it means our body doesn't feel well it feels like it’s burning. The featured symptoms are dental ulcer, toothache and dry eyes. In our traditional culture, the world is divided in two parts: bright and dark, both of them are working with five elements: gold, wood, water, fire and soil. Only when these five elements work in harmony the balance between bright and dark remains, then the whole world can be at peace. The theory also works for our body, when we eat too much and exercise less, the balance will be broken, then the body will try to figure out the problem. In that case, some extra energy will be released from the weakest part of our body, such as the mouth and the eyes. In western culture, we call this inflammation, and it needs to be treated with some medicine. In China, we usually like to treat these symptoms with food besides medicine. We believe that food is the best medicine because food comes from wheat, rice, vegetables, etc.... all of these things come from the world, they are grown under the action of the sun and the moon.
