The Longevity Diet
We’re living in the middle of one of the worst health epidemics of all times. Heart disease, cancer, autism, diabetes, arthritis, depression and obesity are all conditions that are directly linked to diet. What happened? How did we lose the intuition required to eat healthy?

While Western medicine focuses on physiological detail to formulate a view of a person's condition, the Eastern approach concentrates more on what could be called ’body cosmology’.
Emphasis is placed on the individual's qi, prevention, and living life by Tao and the cycle of yin and yang. The Chinese express this understanding not only in oriental medicine but also in art, literature, diet, astrology, and feng shui.
From the East, we have gained an integrating, intuitive, and logical mode of thinking based on the rational concepts of yin and yang. In the West, we have gained a technical and scientific process. Health, in its true sense, is a dynamic balance of both. #AcademyHealingNutrition #LongevityDiet #TCM #Ayurveda

Today's Full Moon in Capricorn may have highlighted outstanding tasks or goals in your life that you have not yet completed. Create attainable goals for yourself, meditate, and use this time wisely. Self reflect and resist the urge to act upon any stress that may be surfacing—one of Capricorn's many dominant traits is having a strong sense of self-control. Use this energy to your advantage and remember to practice kind self-talk. #AcademyHealingNutrition #longevitydiet #TCM #ayurveda

Summer is here!🌞These next few months are generally quite warm. Now regarding what we eat— why does this matter? Well, as temperatures rise, our bodies need to be cooled down! This is the perfect time to eat more raw foods that can clear heat. But, as with anything, don't overdo it! Or you may cause trouble in your digestive tract.
Try your best to avoid heavy, greasy, and fried foods during this time. Add in summer veggies and fruits as they are cooling in nature. Throw in plenty of fresh greens whenever you can, as they are neutral to cooling.
Relish this time, absorb some Vitamin D, and allow your body to relax and enjoy what Mother Nature has provided to us🌱
Here in the Northern Hemisphere, we are entering the season of Fire with today’s summer solstice (an event joined this year by an equally significant new moon and a solar eclipse in Cancer, more on this below). Fire illuminates, sparks action, and change. Within our bodies, it stimulates our metabolism, our digestion, the beating of our heart.
The expansive qualities of the fire element are now at their fullest expression, both in the abundant growth in the natural world and in the forces rising within us. The fire element urges us to awaken, to seek connection with each other and with what animates our spirits, or Shen.
Fire describes our passion, what makes us feel alive. To be in right relationship to our light - to be full yet not excessively activated - we are called to open to and share those gifts of our heart (the organ system that corresponds to this element), and to access the joy our balanced hearts generate. It’s necessary for our physical and spiritual health, and crucial right now when it is easy to disconnect from nourishing experiences of pleasure.
Of all the ways we are experiencing this pandemic, one possibility is finding ourselves with a new or strengthened resolve to prioritise our wellness - physically, emotionally and mentally.
An understanding of the interconnectedness of our bodies, minds and spirits, and of the tools we have to cultivate health and prevent or mitigate illness, is at the foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine and of our Healing Nutrition curriculum at AHN.
For some of us, this is the first time we have considered the impact upon our health of our habitual food choices. Now is just the beginning 🌱 #AcademyHealingNutrition #longevitydiet #TCM #ayurveda

“Health is more than the absence of disease.” — Joycelyn Elders
Health is about love and family, self-care, education, the environment, and all of those things that go into making us healthy. #AcademyHealingNutrition #LongevityDiet #TCM #Ayurveda

Engage your senses as summer brings an abundance of colors, sounds, and fragrances.
-
—Go outside barefoot and ground your feet on the earth. Feel the textures beneath you.
—Find the nearest garden. Listen intently to the sounds of birds or other parts of nature around you.
—Smell every flower you can. Take time to absorb all the beautiful summer smells.
—Taste the fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables. Eat them slowly and enjoy them.
Now, like always, is a time to trust your intuition, nourish your body with the proper foods, drink lots of water and exercise. #AcademyHealingNutrition #LongevityDiet #TCM #Ayurveda

The following Shen-nourishing herbs connect us to our spirit and its gifts, and the joy that results from that. They awaken the vitality of our fire or temper it when exaggerated, so we can better intuit what we are here to do and experience.
-
—Reishi: this slightly bitter medicinal mushroom was known to the ancient Taoists as the “elixir of immortality.” It is adaptogenic, regulating our hormones and nervous system so that we can feel grounded in our body and centered in our heart, or “at home.”
—Rose: also bitter, yet fragrant, its medicine addresses “a broken heart” and restores emotional balance. Its buds or petals can be used in teas, added to water, used to flavor vinegar, or infused into (local) honey.
—Cacao: this bitter plant boosts our mood, energetically opening our heart in a way that fosters connection with others (best used in moderation when dry conditions are present in the body).
—Chrysanthemum: has a sweet and bitter taste and lubricating, calming, properties that cool the liver (which is vulnerable to heat) and soothe dry eyes. Try preparing a cold infusion: pour cool water over a handful of the flowers in a jar and let it steep, ideally in the sun, to connect with the fire element. You also can add dried rosebuds to this.
—Green tea (or matcha, its concentrated version): is bitter, cooling, and antioxidant-rich.
