We are now in Winter Time. The official start of Winter was December 22.

According to the Neijing SuWen -- The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine... “During the winter months all things in nature wither, hide, return home, and enter a resting period, just as lakes and rivers freeze and snow falls. This is a time when Yin dominates Yang.Therefore one should refrain from overusing yang energy. You should go to bed early and rise with the sunrise which is later in winter. Desires and mental activity should be kept quiet and subdued. Sexual desires especially should be contained, as if keeping a happy secret. Stay warm, avoid the cold, and keep the pores closed. The philosophy of the winter season is one of conservation and storage. without such practice, the result will be injury to the kidney energy. This will cause wei jue, consisting of weakness, atrophy of muscles, and coldness in spring, manifesting in paralysis, wei/flaccid syndrome, arthritis, or degeneration of the bones and tendons. This is because the body has lost its ability to open and move in spring.”

Winter means cold weather and frozen ground. In order to keep healthy, it is advisable for you to eat foods that give your body more internal heat, prevent cold and dryness.

Here are three principles to keep in mind in choosing and eating foods during the winter:

1. Eat foods which give you more energy. This will increase your body's ability to deal with cold weather. Foods in this group include:

1. Carbohydrates


2. Fats other than animal fat


3. Protein

This is the time of year to eat more lean meats, including chicken duck, eggs, fish, organic milk, and bean products.

2. Cold weather increases the fat metabolism in the human body. This means in winter time, you may want to eat more amino acid containing foods. This includes foods like:

1. sesame seeds


2. sunflower seeds


3. yeast products


4. organic dairy products


5. leafy vegetables

Also, medical studies have shown some people are afraid of the cold because of the foods they eat. These foods have a lack of inorganic salt. This means in winter time, you should eat more root vegetables. This includes:

1. carrots


2. lily flower


3. yam


4. lotus roots


5. yucca


6. turnip root


7. rutabaga


8. “nappa” Chinese cabbage

These types of root vegetables contain more inorganic salt than other types of vegetables.

Calcium quantities in human body can also affect the human heart, blood vein, and muscle elasticity and reaction.

So you may want to increase your calcium intake a bit to the suggested maximum limits from the dietary guidelines.

Increasing calcium to your diet can increase the ability of your body to handle being in cold weather.

Calcium rich foods such as:

1. organic milk


2. bean products


3. mini dried shrimp with the shells on


4. sardines


5. seaweed


6. sesame seed paste

And consider JAJA Pearl Powder™ which is high in calcium and protein.

3. Eat foods which are rich in vitamin B2, vitamin A, vitamin C. These foods can help prevent angular cheilitis (for instance cold sore at the corner of the mouth is a type of angular cheilitis). Also your lips and/or tongue are more prone to infection this time of year.

Cold and dry weather also increases the oxidization function in the human body. Vitamin metabolism in the human body also has a big change. This makes it really easy for you to get dry skin, rashes, itchy patches, cracking dry bleeding skin, etc.

In winter you may want to consider adding foods which are rich in Vitamin B2 especially. These foods include:

1. liver


2. eggs


3. organic milk


4. bean products

Rich Vitamin A Foods include:

1. liver


2. carrots


3. pumpkin


4. Chinese sweet potato that has an orange red meat


5. etc.

Vitamin C rich foods are mostly fresh vegetables and fruit.

Using JAJA Pearl Powder internally, and externally will also help your skin retain elasticity and it's beauty.

Pay attention to your diet. The foods you eat. And you will have a healthy year!
