"Chinese life care - healthy nutrition according to TCM"
Speaker: Dr. rer. nat. Wenjun Zhong
In China, great importance is attached to life care (Yangshen). The aim is to stay healthy into old age with the help of traditional Chinese medicine methods. In TCM, being healthy means when the "3 treasures": jīng (精), qì (气) and shén (神) are connected and in harmony with each other. Put simply, these are essence, energy and spirit.
In this Jour Fixe, Dr. rer. nat. Wenjun Zhong will introduce us to Chinese life care and look at health philosophy and body management from a macro level. We will explore the basics of the human hierarchy of needs and analyse the factors that influence our health from a philosophical perspective.
An important factor influencing our health is nutrition. What should we eat? How should we cook? When should we eat? How should we eat?
In this Jour Fixe, you will learn how to do something good for your body by benefiting from the wealth of knowledge of Dr. rer. nat. Wenjun Zhong. He will introduce you to Chinese health culture in a way that is both easy to understand and profound. Let yourself be inspired by a synthesis of centuries-old wisdom and modern understanding to promote your own well-being.
