Asian slimming secrets.(FAVORITE THINGS)(chinese medicine expert Letha Hadady talks about his new weight-loss book 'Feed Your Tiger')(Interview)
Chinese medicine expert Letha Hadady, DAc, has spent years traveling throughout Asia and studying the region's unique approach to wellness. Her newest book, Feed Your Tiger, has an intriguing title--and a unique solution for America's obesity epidemic. Read on to learn more about this Asian-inspired weight-loss plan and Hadady's favorite healing remedies.
How is Feed Your Tiger different from other weight-loss books?
Feed Your Tiger encourages self-discovery. We each have a special relationship to food. Most people have an emotional attachment: They may eat dairy foods, meats or cookies in order to feel happy. Eventually, their shape, mood swings and eating habits may cause them to resemble "dragons," "bears," "tigers" or "cranes"--the four types of eaters outlined in my book, which addresses common addictions to foods in a nonjudgmental way. For example, bear types crave sweets; dragons can't get enough salty and fried foods; tigers like spices and stimulants, and tend to be nervous eaters; and those in the crane group live on junk foods, or become wrapped up in work and skip meals. Each type has advantages and disadvantages. With Feed Your Tiger, I show how to identify and enhance your true nature. If we fail to nourish ourselves properly, we inevitably fall into illness and depression.
What are your health secrets?
I love the sun. Ultraviolet rays enhance calcium absorption. In rainy weather, I do qi gung postures for up to 10 minutes in front of a sunlamp (avoid if you have a history of skin cancer): I stand relaxed with feet straight in front of me, knees slightly bent and arms in front as though holding a beach ball. I breathe slowly and exhale downward, through my legs to the floor.
To enhance energy and immunity, I use and recommend the Asian herb Cordyceps sinensis, available at health food stores. A standard dosage is one to two 520mg capsules daily.
