	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Chinese food therapy
		Chinese food therapy is a modality of traditional Chinese medicine, also known as Chinese Nutrition therapy.
		The overriding principle of Chinese Food Therapy is that maintaining a proper balance between yin (cold) and yang (warm) ¡V and combining an understanding of the nature of food, the body's constitution, and the role of qi (vital energy) is essential to well being.
		Chinese food therapists also know that they are sweet and warm in nature (yang), beneficial to qi, and helpful for backache, weak legs, strengthening the kidneys, and restoring energy.
