Going nuts

The sun's come out and so have the barbeques and I have decided to try vegetarianism.

There are certain types of foods to avoid during breast cancer treatment:
Charred and deep-fried foods.
Both cause a condition known as "internal heat" in the Stomach, which can cause a functional disorder, i.e., it will cause the Stomach to perform its jobs, especially digestion, poorly.
(Avoid these foods during chemotherapy and radiation, since the treatments themselves already create excess heat in the body.)
Also another no-no; Raw vegetables.




Eating too many raw vegetables weakens the Stomach and Spleen, two vital organs that must work in harmony for breast-cancer prevention. Although some nutrition is lost cooking vegetables, raw vegetables take lots more energy to digest than cooked vegetables. If you eat raw vegetables and drink raw vegetable juice and you experience excess gas, Stomach gurgling or bloating,
Delightful, so that's what it was...

Also avoid Alcohol,Cold or iced foods and beverages. To reduce the condition of "internal cold" as much as possible, avoid foods with a cold temperature. The old man will like this bit: Drink more tea! Sorry Jim, only if it's green and absolutely no dairy. Well, that's him out.

Your Stomach functions best when the foods you eat are warm, or room temperature (including water). Consuming cold foods and beverages frequently can unbalance your Stomach function.
