Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 to Cat: bananas may have desirable effects, but they are considered very cold and if you have problems with your spleen and liver, you may need to eat very few bananas and when you do, eat them with something " hot " for your spleen.

Thanks - I believe I asked before whether the banana could be eaten about half hour before protein as I don't like to mix fruits and proteins too close together. The rib pain seems to have subsided some since I started eating one banana a day. And with the huge amount of heat I had in my stomach and liver, it will be a while before I get to cold, am I right? But I always eat beef or lamb or egg yolks every days, so I am getting more yang foods as well. Which brings me to .... is there a URL which lists the condition or generating properties of these foods somewhere I can look them up on occasion?

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 i have posted this link previously, but will post it again: www.acupuncture.com/Nutrition/ChiNut.htm you can't eat like the way you are describing. your spleen is causing the heat in the first place, and the spleen needs warm or hot. you need balance in your meals and you can even eat things that are bad as long as you balance them with things that are good. you need to think in a more taoist (balanced) way about nutrition because it takes a while to figure it out - your liver needs certain stuff which may be bad for your spleen, which needs stuff which may be bad for your stomach and liver, etc. etc. etc. Cat <iceisit wrote: jamie farris wrote: >to Cat: >bananas may have desirable effects, but they are considered very cold and if you have problems with your spleen and liver, you may need to eat very few bananas and when you do, eat them with something " hot " for your spleen.
