For those of you who have never tasted congee before, it is a classic Chinese breakfast dish- a soupy white rice porridge made usually from either a meat or fish stock that can be flavoured to your individual taste- (fresh coriander, shallots, peanuts, eggs- whatever you feel like). Easily digested and absorbed, Congee is believed to replenish your spleen qi energy- particularly important in the cold winter months when lack of exercise and over indulgence in the wrong foods can lead to qi stagnation. Check out our simple recipe below. You can make it in a large batch to last throughout the week. We like to have it first thing in the morning or as a late night snack! BASIC CONGEE RECIPE Serves 6 to 8 Ingredients: * 3/4 cup long grain rice * 9 cups water * 1 teaspoon salt Preparation: In a large pot, bring the water and rice to a boil. When the rice is boiling, turn the heat down to medium low. ... http://www.chinalifeweb.com/news/?nid=300 Chinalife lookonour@website.com Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.chinalifeweb.com/news/?nid=300 We love this tonic at Chinalife.

Chinese medicine is a healthy and safe way to aid weight loss. In Chinese medicine, normal weight depends on the Spleen and Stomach- responsible for transport/absorption of food and its transformation into energy. When the Spleen and Stomach fail to process food properly and transport the energy, it causes an excess of Damp and Phlegm which results in obesity and excess weight. By making an individual diagnosis, a doctor will decifer the specific underlying reason stopping you from losing weight. Thyroid dysfunction, polycystic ovaries, sluggish metabolisms, or diabetes could all be examples where an underlying condition affects the body’s weight. Similarly, an unbalanced diet, irregular meal times, lack of exercise and unstable emotions could all be factors to consider. By making an accurate diagnosis, treatment can be tailored for the individual. ... http://www.chinalifeweb.com/news/?nid=302 Chinalife lookonour@website.com Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.chinalifeweb.com/news/?nid=302 Now that we are in the Dragon Year, it’s time to boost your energy levels and make the most of this auspicious year.

EAT CONSCIOUSLY BUT DON’T DIET! Diets don’t work in the long run. In fact, they can actually do more long term harm to your body than good by starving your body of vital nutrition and messing with your body’s natural metabolism. Keep it simple: make sure you eat fresh vegetables and fruit daily, opt for more grilled and steamed foods, avoid too much sugar. 2. DRINK MORE TEA AND LESS COFFEE! Nothing is healthier than starting the day with a cup of tea- if you don’t already know the amazing health benefits in this humble cuppa, then click here. If you need your caffeine in the morning, try a green tea (a great cancer fighting agent!) or a white tea (very high in antioxidant properties to delay the signs of ageing!). If you like herbal teas, there is nothing more soothing and delicious than Chrysanthemum tea. For those coffee addicts, try to push your first coffee to later in the day once you have eaten. 3.
