What to eat in winter
The weather has turned bitterly cold. Fortunately, Chinese medicine grew up in places with some of the bitterest winters imaginable and has great dietary advice to help us cope with the cold. Eat your food hot and cooked If your food is cold or raw, your body has to heat and cook it for you, before it can extract the nutrients that give you the energy you need to keep warm. Soups, stews and casseroles are ideal. Stir frying, boiling and steaming are also great cooking methods
