• Do not cold drinks with meals. Tea (e.g. green) is suitable, but not too much, and preferably half an hour before the meal.
• Eat soup often. Soup is filling and the warmth stimulates the digestion.
• Meal proportions 3/4 vegetables to 1/4 meat.
• Use small serving bowls and eat with chopsticks.
• Eat rice, and ensure to mix it less processed versions such as brown, black or red rice.
• Eat fruit for dessert, or skip dessert some nights.
• Eat fish with healthy oils every day.
• Choose Asian snacks such as seaweed snacks, nuts, dried fruit and seeds.
• Eat according to the seasons: warming foods in winter and cooling foods in summer.
• Minimise drinking of cow's milk and do not mix it with other foods. Replace it with other types, e.g. almond, coconut, rice or soy.
• Ensure that digestion is regular and seek treatment if it is not.
