The Twelve Meridians

5ecirclesAn ancient Chinese adage says: ‘A tree grows from the roots.’  Yin and Yang and the Five Elemental Energies form the main roots in the Taoist tree of health, and the entire edifice of traditional Chinese medicine and physiology is based upon the foundation of these energy principles.

The Five Elemental Energies and their cycles provide a practical working model through which the interrelationships between the human body and the natural environment may be understood and controlled.  They also illuminate the internal functional relationships between the body’s various vital organs and explain how external elements such as foods and medicinal herbs influence the organs and their functions.  All aspects of human health, including physiology and pathology, diagnosis and therapy, are rooted in this remarkably reliable system of polar forces and cyclic energy transformations.

BMI Visual Graph

Our bodies come in different shapes and sizes and as such weight alone is not a good indicator of our health and fat levels. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a much better way of evaluating your fat as it takes into account your height in addition to your weight. Say for example, a person who is 6ft tall and 78kg. They could be considered very healthy, whereas a person who is 5ft tall weighing 78kg would be considered obese to the degree that they may face serious health risks as a result. The same amount of weight cannot be carried by a person who is significantly shorter and would indicate a much higher fat percentage. Continue reading
