Inflammation approached through Chinese dietary therapy: which foods the tradition classifies as heating or cooling, what modern nutrition says about the same ingredients, and where the two frameworks agree. Includes a four-week eating structure and a shopping list built from ordinary ingredients.
View on Amazon →Chinese dietary therapy has long sorted food into "heating" and "cooling" categories, a classification that has little to do with temperature and everything to do with the effect a food is believed to have on the body. This book lays out that system clearly, then checks it against what modern nutrition says about the same ingredients.
Where the two frameworks actually agree gets stated plainly, not assumed. A four-week eating structure translates the theory into a plan, backed by a shopping list built from ordinary, easy-to-find ingredients, along with guidance on how to tell whether a change is genuinely helping rather than just feeling like it is.
For readers managing everyday inflammation who want a structured plan grounded in a specific tradition, not a generic anti-inflammatory list.
