Healing foods, the Asian Way
Traditional Chinese doctors believe we need a balance of cooling yin and hot yang to be healthy. For example, are you quiet and often tired? It might be because you have too much yin. You should eat hot yang foods, like beef or lamb, to give you more energy. Eating Dangshen and Huangqi herbs is also good for this. On the other hand, people who are stressed out and angry might have too much yang in their lives. Chinese doctors believe that they should eat more yin foods, like tofu, or bean sprouts. It's easy to stay healthy, and it's important to eat a balanced diet.

Do you know what a cold is? Have you ever had a cold in the nose?
When you have a cold, liquid(液体) runs from your nose, and you are ill. A cold is not a bad illness. We call this illness “a cold” or “a cold in the head”, because people think that cold air cause illness. They say “I went out of my warm house into the cold air. I felt cold. So I caught a cold.”

When you have got a cold, do not go out and give it to other people. Other people do not want it. When you have a cold, stay in your house. You'll soon be all right.
