BHH-3: Too Fastidious about Eating

28 Nov 2017

We are what we eat. While all of us have specific preferences for foods, it is no less harmful, if not more, than smoking or staying up late, to be a too fastidious eater: if you habitually eat too much of what you like better, be it spicy, sweet, salty, fried, preserved, smoked or barbecued, you will definitely destroy your internal balances (such as the balance between yin and yang, and the balance of nutrition), and become vulnerable to different physical disorders and diseases.

For a yangsheng practitioner, it is always healthier to eat something of everything, rather than too much of something.
