Tai Chi Diet: Food for Life |
 |
Review
Summary |
The desire to be fit and healthy is nothing new. People of all ages and cultures have recognized the benefits of staying well by eating good foods and staying physically active. And with a deteriorating sense of good food in the West, more dieters have been turning to the wisdom of the East. This is why it is no surprise when weight loss programs are based on ancient Eastern philosophies, which is the case with “Tai Chi Diet: Food for Life.” This book is the work of scholar Mike Symonds who has pulled together various strands of the Taoist view of food and life to create a weight loss program that is less a diet and more a new outlook on the way we eat.

The Tai Chi Diet is often referred to as chang ming or “long life diet” as its basic principles promote longevity and lasting wellness. As with all things in Taoism, eating should be about keeping a balance between competing energies or, in this case, nutrients. Symonds claims that by balancing potassium and sodium rich foods your body will be nourished, lean, and feel much better. Other topics Symonds covers from this prospective include vitamins, minerals, maintaining healthy body chemistry, and how to adopt a perspective on eating that will keep you healthy your whole life through.

| Final Facts |

If you are interested in applying the principles of Taoism to your health, “Tai Chi Diet: Food for Life” may be one of the best options on the market. This book seems to deal much more with the principles undergirding healthy living than straightforward diet advice. While there may be a time to follow a clearly laid out plain, we do recommend thinking more on thought processes and habits that can lead to a problem like obesity. When you are ready to start a weight loss routine, be sure it includes a diet filled with fresh foods, some form of portion control at meals, a daily exercise regimen, as well as adequate rest and water.
