This phenomenon of yin and yang can be applied to food. More yang foods include: sea salt, sea weeds, miso and umeboshi plum along with cooked warming root vegetables like carrots, burdock and onions. More yin foods include beverages, cooling greens, salads, pickles and fruits. Extreme yang foods include poor quality salt, meats, eggs and hard cheeses. Extreme yin foods include alcohol, coffee, white sugar, even drugs, medications, vaccinations, immunizations, our food industry's genetically modified foods, and processed foods---all of which create severe imbalances that lead to our sicknesses and degeneration! As we learn to balance our foods by understanding their energy, applying heat and/or sea salt to contract foods and water and oil to expand foods, and eating consciously in harmony with the seasons, (more warming food in the winter and more cooling food in the summer), we create more balance and greater health within. By paying close attention to this very fundamental concept we can find peace and harmony in our environment and create an intuitive, simple balance in our everyday life!
Eating the infinite variety of combinations of organic grains, beans, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds, and some high quality sea salt, in harmony with the seasons, is what has kept me healthy and well and what gave me the confidence of never again getting sick. Understanding "The Order of the Universe", originally taught by George Oshawa and Michio Kushi, was my core philosophical guide to understanding food on a universal as well as practical level. The thumbnail understanding goes like this. The order, listed backwards, is: humans/animals eat plants, plants grow or come from the soil, the soil is made up of elements, these elements consist of sub-atomic particles, sub-atomic particles are made up of endless energy patterns of yin and yang, which comes from infinity! Basically we come from infinity, exist in infinity, and return to infinity! The food we need to eat as humans for our survival on this planet is the energy that comes from infinity and is available most effectively in plants! As animals, we eat directly or indirectly from the visible world of plants, a manifestation of various essentials including: air, soil, water, and fire, (fire in the form of sun rays through the process of photosynthesis). The quality of these elements affects the quality of our food, which, in turn, affects the quality of our health.
The ideal food for human consumption is organic plant-based whole foods grown in fertile organic soil, fed by quality water and air, and filled with quality chlorophyll made by sunlight and adjusted or changed by our judgment of yinizing or yangizing our food!
The following summarizes other compelling reasons for such a diet. I call them my BIG "E" reasons!
Especially Healthy:
Since 1977 I have found the prescription for my health through studying and research, but mostly through trial and error. From a sickly, stingy, meat eating, sugar bingeing, white flour and ice cream addict and prescription drug junkie individual for 30 years, I have changed in the last 30 years to a strong, healthy, vibrant and giving partner, father and friend by eating a grain-based, whole foods, plant-based diet with love! To me it's the best way to being healthy!
