Summary
Mantak Chia: Cosmic Nutrition
The human body, like all natural phenomena, has an innate power of self-regeneration when the conditions for true health are met. Taoist Master Mantak Chia and Universal Taoist Center Senior Assistant William Wei reveal the secret to true health and longevity: keeping all four bodies—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—full of life and in balance. They show you how to work with the four bodies through simple, step-by-step nutritional and energy practices for everyday life. Combining the ancient Taoist principles of yin and yang energy with acid-base balance, the authors offer complete guidance on what different yin-yang body types should eat, specific health problems and organ systems, and energy conditions. They offer simple methods of combining foods for acid-base and yin-yang balance, recipes for healing dishes, detailed information on nutrition and detoxification, and illustrated guidelines for several self-diagnostic methods from the East that can help you interpret the signals your body is sending you before illness manifests. Dispelling the myth of microbes as the cause of disease, they reveal the carcinogenic dangers of too much protein or pharmaceutical drugs. They also examine the benefits of powerful "superfoods" such as sprouts and certain vitamins and minerals for boosting vitality and rejuvenation.
