 Eating

TCM doctor suggest us don't eat too much sour food but more sweet things.

* Chinese date, it has much Vitamin P.

* Rice crust, it helps boosting appetite and digesting as well.

* Chinese Yam (Shanyao), it makes us stronger. Chinese people nickname it to "small ginseng," which shows Chinese Yam benefits us.

 Sports

Spring may be the best time for exercise. As TCM doctor says, spring exercise should focus on feet and legs. We'd better arrange our exercise time not too early. Outdoor exercises in the sunshine will be beneficial.

Besides, don't stay up too late. Sleeping before 11 p.m. does us good.

 Living

Having some plants at our house is very important. Green plants help absorb the dusts in the air and help purify the air. Green color does good to eyes as well. Asphodel is among the choices. It decorates the room and at the same time, absorbs toxic chemicals. Bonsai is a beautiful decoration for our balcony. Some scrambling plants like morning glory and cypress vine are among those most selected.
