Eat More Perfectly

There is also an approach to nutrition according to the Traditional Chinese Five Elements. That is the basis for such a program as FoodScan created by the German company Medprevent® whose approach is complementary to the Phytobiodermie™ method. The work of Dr. Haas whose book, Staying Healthy with the Seasons, is in total harmony with the Phytobiodermie™ approach. 

From an energetic point of view, it is good to remember that food releases energy during the metabolism process. Both the quantity and the quality of energy matter. Food contributes to the vital energy that we need, but that energy comes with a certain bulk that needs both energy and oxygen to process. It is advisable to eat what is energetically rich (natural nutrients) with limited bulk and to avoid what is abundant in bulk but limited in energy. In that respect, the model of good food is a genuine farm egg that is free of added antibiotics and hormones. It represents great concentration of nutrients for a small volume. The worst is any bulky food heated in the microwave oven that kills all the nutrients and remains void of vital energy. Many people have a bulk-rich diet void of nutrients and vital energy. As a result, they remain hungry and eat more bulk that eventually accumulates in the body. It is a vicious cycle. It is one of the real issues in the American diet, yet few people speak about it in those terms because the politically powerful food industry is more about bulk than nutrition.
