The culture of the Five Elements in China reveals the mystery and philosophy of traditional health preservation. Heaven and earth have five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth), and humans have five internal organs (lung, liver, kidney, heart, and spleen). The five internal organs to the five elements also extend the five flavors (pungent, sour, salty, bitter, sweet) and five colors (white, green, black, red, and yellow). There is a mysterious connection between them. Five flavors and five colors are relative to diet. The human body's essential nutrients are not included in any single-color food in the world. The only way to make "five-color food" is the same on the table. Make a reasonable and scientific match. , In order to obtain balanced and comprehensive nutrition, achieve the effect of reconciling the five internal organs, nourishing body functions, and improving human body quality. Foods of different colors have their own merits. If you want to be healthy, you should pay attention to its special functions.
