Considering Dr. Seino’s Perspective on Diet with Tak’s Thoughts from an Eastern Medicine Viewpoint
Introduction
When it comes to diet, many people ask questions like, “What should I eat to stay healthy?” or “What’s the best thing to eat?” These are questions that everyone seems interested in.
Our fundamental belief is that there is no absolute “good” or “bad” in food. This is because every food has some level of toxicity. The difference lies in the amount of that toxicity. If the level is low, our bodies are equipped to process it. However, if the level is too high, it can lead to death, meaning only small amounts should be consumed.
Therefore, we believe that the quantity of food is more important than the quality of what we eat. Based on this understanding, we do not primarily discuss specific foods when addressing health issues related to diet. Instead, we will proceed to explain dietary health practices categorized into the following sections.
