You’ve been told to drink more water your whole life — but more isn’t always better. In Chinese medicine, forcing fluids can overload digestion and stress a body that’s already struggling. Thirst is a signal. Balance matters more than quantity. Drink when your body asks — not because you feel like you should. #hydration #chinesemedicine #tcm #guthealth #wellnesstips

Cold cereal and iced smoothies are normal in the West. But in China, breakfast is almost always warm, and it’s not just tradition. According to the TCM organ clock, 7–9am is when your stomach and digestion are strongest. Starting your day with cold food can weaken digestion and drain energy over time. Try warm breakfast for 7 days and see how your body feels. #TCM #ChineseMedicine #DigestiveHealth #MorningRoutine #WellnessTips
