16、se Diet Methodology How to eat healthy has long been one of the most confusing mysteries facing the Western world. Although every few months one sees the release of a new diet trend, our waistlines continue to become wider and wider and our health problems that are directly connected to poor eating

17、habits have continued to increase. Perhaps thats why some people are turning to Eastern thought for a dieting solution and trying to understand Chinese diet methodology.,Part AText,At the heart of Chinese diet methodology is the concept of the yin and yang. This is the main idea of the Chinese diet.

18、 Yin and yang are opposites. They are often described in the Taijitu as black and white swirl that are combined harmoniously despite their obvious differences. In Chinese philosophy, the yin is considered feminine and the yang is the masculine force. Again, both of these forces are meant to be in ba

19、lance for the greatest success.,Part AText,In the Chinese diet, the yin and yang are also very important. Just as balance between yin and yang is desired in other aspects of life, so is it desired in the Eastern diet. For this reason, Chinese food is classified as one or the other of these two force

20、s. For example, vegetables and fruits are associated with yin. Meat, on the other hand, is associated with yang.,Part AText,Ideally, this means that individuals will eat a good balance of both yin and yang foods.

23、art AText,This idea is taken very seriously in China, particularly when someone in the family becomes ill. To help treat their sickness, soups based on yin and yang ingredients are often prepared and fed to the person who is suffering. Even when they are healthy, Chinese people do tend to pay carefu

24、l attention to what they are consuming so that they may maintain this healthy balance in their diet.,Part AText,While some parts of the Chinese methodology may seem unusual to Westerners, many of the ideas are not as completely opposed as one might think.

(495 words),运用中国的饮食方法来解决美国的健康危机 如何健康饮食，已成为西方世界长期以来所面临的一个最为困惑而神秘的问题。尽管每隔几个月就会出现新的饮食趋势，但是我们的腰围依然渐长渐宽，由不良饮食习惯直接引起的

26、健康问题也在持续增加。也许这就 是为什么有些人想求助东方思想来解 决饮食问题并试图理解中国饮食方法 的原因。,Part AText Translation,中国饮食方法的核心就是阴阳这对概念，这也是中国饮食的宗旨。阴和阳是相对的。在圆形太极图中黑白表示为阴阳鱼环转相抱。尽管颜色差异明显，但它们非常和谐地组合在一起。在中国哲学里，阴代表阴柔之气，而阳则被视为阳刚之气。同样，这两种力量要达到平衡，才能取得最大成功。,Part AText Translation,阴和阳在中国的饮食里也非常重要。正如东方人希望生活的方方面面都要达到阴阳平衡一样，饮食也不例外。因此，中国的食物都被归为阴阳两类。例如，蔬

27、菜和水果与阴相关，而肉类则与阳相关。,Part AText Translation,也就是说，我们每个人摄取的阴阳食物要达到均衡。你会发现中医所写的书籍里列出的所有食物都分为阴性或者阳性。 如果想使自己的饮食真正达到均衡与协调，你就必须了解这些分类。,Part AText Translation,中国人认为，大部分疾病都可以归因为饮食不均衡。例如，如果你总觉得身体虚弱疲惫，那可能意味着你吃了过多的阴性食物。 得风湿病也可能是因为吃了太多阴性食物。相反，溃疡则可能是因为吃了太多阳性食物引起的。如果体内摄入过多阳性食物，中国人就称之为“上火”。,Part AText Translation,这种观

28、念在中国很受重视，当家里有人生病时更是如此。为了帮助治疗疾病，人们会将阴阳食材搭配起来煲汤给病人喝。即使身体无恙，中国人也非常注重保持饮食的健康均衡。,Part AText Translation,虽然西方人会觉得中国饮食方法论里有些说法很奇怪，但很多观点并非人们想像的那样有极大反差。连西医也认为均衡饮食是健康生活方式的关键。鸡汤经常被西方的母亲们用来治疗普通感冒，而这鸡汤不也是由阴阳食材做成的吗？,Part AText Translation,n.

31、l and moving, masculine and feminine, lower and upper, etc. The function of yin and yang is guided by the law of unity of the opposites. In other words, yin and yang are in conflict but at the same time mutually dependent. The nature of yin and yang is relative, with neither being able to exist in i

Without “cold” there would be no “hot”; without “moving” there would be no “still”; without “dark”, there would be no “light”.,Part A Text Language Points,a term which refers to a Chinese symbol for the concept of yin and yang (Taiji). Note: The Taijitu consists of a symmetrical pattern in

33、side a circle. One common pattern has an S-shaped line that divides the circle into two equal parts of different colors. The pattern may have one or more large dots. The classic Taoist Taijitu, for example, is black and white with a black dot upon the white background, and a white dot upon the black
