Dietary Tips for WinterThe organs associated with Winter: Kidney and Bladder; The element associated with Winter: Water It is a time for peaceful contemplation and a time to spend with close friends and family. Winter is a time for regeneration and renewal; a time for building your base line energy so you are ready to spring into action. Strong kidneys are associated with longevity; as we grow older taking care of your kidney energy assumes greater importance; they are responsible for our bones, teeth, hearing and memory. Menopausal symptoms and a lack of sexual potency relate to insufficiency of the kidney system in Chinese Medicine. A healthy kidney system is essential for our reproductive system too; infertility is closely associated with the energy of the kidney system. To counteract the cold of winter, the focus is on eating warming and slow cooked foods that build your baseline energy. Hearty soups made from slow growing vegetables e.g. carrots, beetroot, potato, pumpkin; stews made from pulses, beans, fish and meat cooked on the bone. To counteract the cold of winter, add warming spices and herbs to your food e.g. cinnamon, cloves to fruit deserts, rosemary, thyme, ginger, pepper to savoury dishes. Avoid eating salads, raw and cold foods and drinks.
