On Wednesday 20th November, holistic health specialists, Body & Soul, hosted a food tasting event to help women of Shanghai become more familiar with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) concepts and how these can help support a healthy diet and lifestyle. In comparison to western medicine which has a predominately nutrient-focused perspective on food, TCM instead looks at taste, temperature and direction of action of particular foods and how these tastes (sour, bitter, spicy, sweet, salty) are associated with the elements and particular organs.
