HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND YOURS!!!

38. Seasonal Wellness Tips to Guard Your Wellbeing during the Weather Transition of DOYO
Seasonal Wellness is rooted by living in the season, and not resisting it.  This seasonal transition is referred to as DOYO in ancient Chinese Medicine, and here to tell us more is Doctor of Chinese Medicine, Christiana Cagnoni. Christiana will shed light on the 5 elements of DOYO focus on the spleen, stomach, centering self, family, and home.  You’ll learn what is the color of this transition period.  Which foods should you be eating, and if your lips are cracked, what could this mean? 
An important thing to note for Seasonal Wellness is the aspect of digestion. It’s beneficial to give your digestion tract a rest. Eat like a king at breakfast, lighter at lunch and consume as you’re a pauper at dinner.  Remember, movement is your best friend.  Stagnation is the number 1 killer of people, as it does not allow the organs to function optimally.
