under the name of natural medicine ” hide a number of therapies and pseudosciences more varied, and the reader I have by an Orthodox of medical science, closed to any other idea, quite the opposite. Phytotherapy (herbal use) has been the basis of Pharmacology and plants such as the Cup or digital from which Digitalis is extracted are so powerful and effective as the modern drugs against tachycardia, is more for a long time the only treatment that had. Traditional Chinese medicine uses acupuncture to stimulate the network of meridians ”, that today we know that they correspond with the nervous system, etc. etc.
Well, one thing is science and pseudoscience is another thing. Science is that food (and all organic matter) consists of four large groups of molecules: carbohydrates (or sugar), lipids (or FAT), proteins and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). Pseudoscience is that foods are divided into hot and cold according to the theory of yin and the yan. Worse yet, is pre-scientific, inaccurate and furthermore leads to confusion. No doubt increasingly think it need to be a bit of self-regulation in the blogs, especially if it’s health and nutrition topics. see the reason of because it makes no sense this
teorÃa:
there are a number of Yin foods containing cold energy and contrarestra effect Yang: vegetables, vegetables, juices of fruit, milk, yogurt, products sugary among others.
Also, Yang foods provide energy hot or warm and contrarestan to the first: thus works to achieve the balance. Meat, fish, eggs, spicy spices, nuts, seeds and grains, e.g.
Aside as of contain energy ” (is by all known matter is energy, E = mc2), speaking of example the egg, according to this theory, would be a hot food, which offset the cold, and the yogurt would instead be cold. By coincidence that both are of animal origin, rich in protein, and cholesterol or fats, i.e. no differences existential ”, and not to mention already that in a State of depression or sadness has to take food hot ”, where it is well known that a little bit of chocolate (food cold) may be a good stimulant for our brainlike other products sugary.
Anyway, the problem comes when you use reference source a portal on alchemy, and no Pubmed or Medlina.
