The Five Elements are interrelated through generation and restriction.
Generation: Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, Earth generates Metal, Metal generates Water, Water generates Wood. —- Generation represents development.
Restriction: Wood restrains Earth, Earth restrains Water, Water restrains Fire, Fire restrains Metal, Metal restrains Wood. —- Restriction represents balance.
Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes the “Five Elements, Five Qi, Five Organs, Five Tastes, and Five Colors”. They are interconnected, supporting and restricting each other. The harmony of the Five Elements directly affects bodily functions; any imbalance can lead to corresponding physical symptoms. Therefore, understanding the Five Elements of the body is essential for health.
Wood
Season associated with Wood: Spring
Organs associated with Wood: Liver, Gallbladder, Eyes. When working too hard, the first organ to protect is the liver. The liver is the organ that stores blood in the body; if you work excessively, it must store more blood. The Five Elements are generated in the order of Liver → Heart → Spleen → Lung → Kidney. If the liver is overworked and weak, it affects the Heart, Spleen, Lung, and Kidney. Additionally, accumulated anger from overwork can harm the liver. Therefore, snacks during overtime should include sour foods, such as preserved plums. If any organ associated with Wood feels uncomfortable, consuming more green foods can be beneficial. These foods correspond to the liver and gallbladder and are rich in chlorophyll, vitamins, and fiber, which help the organs expel toxins from the body.
Emotion associated with Wood: Anger
Taste associated with Wood: Sour
Foods associated with Wood: Green foods
Recommended foods: Cabbage, lettuce, and spinach.
Fire
Season associated with Fire: Summer.
Organs associated with Fire: Heart, Small Intestine, Tongue
Emotion associated with Fire: Joy
Taste associated with Fire: Bitter
Foods associated with Fire: Red foods. The heart belongs to Fire, making it prone to excess heat, restlessness, and rapid heartbeat, which increases the burden on the heart. Therefore, nurturing the heart is crucial in summer. In addition to consuming heart-nourishing foods, according to the principle of restriction in the Five Elements, the Kidney restrains Heart Fire. Nourishing Kidney Qi in winter is a wise approach. Foods that nourish the heart should be red, corresponding to the red blood and the heart responsible for blood circulation. Those with poor complexion and cold extremities can benefit from consuming more of these foods.
Recommended foods: Red beans, red dates, carrots, red peppers, tomatoes.
Earth
Season associated with Earth: Late Summer. This refers to the period in summer when the dry heat has passed and rain begins.
Organs associated with Earth: Spleen, Stomach, Mouth
Emotion associated with Earth: Worry
Taste associated with Earth: Sweet
Foods associated with Earth: Yellow foods. Late summer is the wettest time of the year. Excess humidity can harm the Spleen and Stomach, affecting appetite, which is why we often lack appetite in the summer. During this time, it is essential to consume more sweet and bitter foods. Eating sweet foods can replenish Spleen Qi; according to the Five Elements, the Fire of the Heart nourishes the Earth of the Spleen, and consuming bitter foods can also strengthen the Spleen.
Problems with Earth organs correspond to yellow foods. The Spleen and Stomach play a role in nutrient supply; when they are well-regulated, Qi and blood will be abundant.
Recommended foods: Oranges, pumpkins, corn, yellow soybeans, sweet potatoes.
Metal
Season associated with Metal: Autumn. The lungs should be nurtured in autumn, as cough is a common ailment, influenced by the spirit of the Five Elements. In autumn, plants begin to wither, which can lead to feelings of melancholy.
Organs associated with Metal: Lungs, Large Intestine, Nose
Emotion associated with Metal: Sadness. Sadness is associated with Metal and the lungs; excessive sadness can damage the lungs.
Taste associated with Metal: Spicy
Foods associated with Metal: White foods. Foods corresponding to Metal primarily benefit the lungs and are mostly white. They are generally neutral and cool, promoting lung health and enhancing digestion, thereby improving metabolism and giving skin elasticity and luster.
Recommended foods: Pears, white radishes, yams, almonds, lilies, white fungus.
Water
Season associated with Water: Winter.
Organs associated with Water: Kidneys, Bladder, Ears. Excessive dining out can harm the kidneys, which are of utmost concern. Chefs often use a lot of oil and salt, making food more flavorful. However, salty flavors belong to Water and are beneficial in moderation; excessive consumption can be detrimental, especially if the complexion darkens, indicating potential kidney issues.
Emotion associated with Water: Fear
Taste associated with Water: Salty
Foods associated with Water: Black foods. These foods correspond to the kidneys and bones, and regular consumption can help maintain normal metabolism related to the kidneys, bladder, and bones, preventing excess water retention that can lead to edema and strengthening bones.
Recommended foods: Black beans, black sesame, blueberries, mushrooms, black dates, longan, and dried plums.

1. The Five Organs and Five Bowels
In traditional culture, the liver corresponds to the gallbladder, hence the phrase “the liver and gallbladder reflect each other.” When the gallbladder Qi rises, the liver Qi can also rise.
The heart corresponds to the small intestine. In daily life, from 11 AM to 1 PM is the time of the heart, but the heart is not affected by evil, so the small intestine may bear the brunt. If there are absorption issues, small intestine diseases may arise. When the small intestine is in its prime, if a person experiences facial flushing, palpitations, or chest tightness, it indicates a problem in the relationship between the heart and small intestine, which may be a precursor to heart issues.
The spleen corresponds to the stomach; they are interdependent. If the spleen is weak, the stomach will also be weak, and vice versa.
The lungs and large intestine are interdependent. When a person needs to defecate, it is the lung Qi that helps expel the stool. Some skin symptoms are also related to the large intestine; in some cases, TCM may not directly treat the lung meridian but may address the large intestine meridian to resolve issues.
The kidneys and bladder are interdependent. The bladder’s Qi transformation function depends on the strength of the kidney Qi. Sufficient kidney Qi is necessary for the bladder to function properly, allowing for normal storage and excretion of urine.
The profound secrets of the Five Colors, Five Tastes, and Five Elements in dietary health! It is said that Bian Que had the ability to see through the Five Organs and Six Bowels; how did he achieve this?
This is closely related to the Five Colors, Five Tastes, and Five Elements in dietary health. If you cannot apply these principles, your ailments will manifest on your face, and he can naturally discern where you are unwell. The so-called “seeing through” is merely a reflection of his deep understanding of the Five Colors, Five Tastes, and Five Elements in dietary health! Enough said, let’s move on!
Five Grains: This refers to japonica rice, adzuki beans, wheat, soybeans, and yellow millet.
Five Fruits: This refers to peaches, plums, apricots, chestnuts, and dates. Peaches are beneficial for Qi and blood, and for generating body fluids, making them ideal nourishing fruits.
Five Livestock: This refers to cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, and chickens. Beef is known to replenish Qi and strengthen the body, as the saying goes, “Beef replenishes Qi, equal to yellow rice.”
Five Vegetables: This refers to sunflower, mint, garlic, scallions, and leeks, indicating that vegetables play a role in nourishing the body.
Different foods contain different nutrients; only by achieving a reasonable combination of various foods can the body obtain a variety of nutrients.
2. The Five Colors and Dietary Health
The color of food corresponds to the Five Organs, and a reasonable combination is the foundation of dietary health. From the perspective of TCM, green enters the liver, red enters the heart, yellow enters the spleen, white enters the lungs, and black enters the kidneys.
The heart color is red, corresponding to summer, so red foods nourish the heart and invigorate blood, also promoting blood circulation. Especially in summer, nurturing the heart is crucial, and it is advisable to consume more red foods such as hawthorn (red fruit), tomatoes, red apples, red peaches, red radishes, and red peppers.
The kidney color is black, corresponding to winter, so black foods are beneficial for kidney anti-aging. In winter, it is especially important to nourish the kidneys, so it is advisable to consume more black mulberries, black sesame, black rice, black beans, He Shou Wu, and cooked Rehmannia.
The lung color is white, corresponding to autumn, so white foods have a nourishing effect on the lungs. In autumn, it is advisable to consume more ginkgo, white pears, white peaches, white almonds, lilies, and pear syrup.
The spleen color is yellow, which nourishes throughout the year, so yellow foods are beneficial for the spleen. Especially in late summer and the last 18 days of each season, it is advisable to consume more yam, sweet potatoes, yellow millet, and corn.
The liver color is green, represented by green, so green foods are beneficial for the liver. Especially in spring, it is advisable to consume more green bamboo shoots, green vegetables, green beans, and spinach.
3. The Five Tastes and Dietary Health
Excessively sour taste: Sour taste nourishes the liver, but too much sour can harm the liver, leading to excessive liver Qi, which can restrict the spleen and stomach (Wood restrains Earth), causing digestive dysfunction.
Excessively alkaline taste: Alkaline taste nourishes the kidneys, but too much alkaline can harm the kidneys, damaging bones (the kidneys govern bones and produce marrow). Excessive kidney Qi can lead to suppressed heart Qi (Water restrains Fire), causing palpitations and shortness of breath.
Excessively sweet taste: Sweet taste nourishes the spleen, but too much sweetness can harm the spleen, causing stomach bloating and discomfort, and can also restrict kidney water (Earth restrains Water), leading to a dark complexion.
Excessively bitter taste: Bitter taste nourishes the heart, but too much bitterness can harm the heart, leading to heart and lung dysfunction (Fire restrains Metal).
Excessively spicy taste: Spicy taste nourishes the lungs, but too much spiciness can harm the lungs, leading to sluggish tendons (Metal restrains Wood; the liver belongs to Wood and governs tendons). Since the lungs govern Qi, harming Qi can lead to mental weakness.

Spring Diet
1. Spring is the season of growth and the emergence of Yang energy. Friends engaged in design and planning work must maintain active thinking in a competitive market to create unique design ideas that gain recognition. These friends need to adjust their schedules to maintain optimal conditions for more energy to be devoted to work. In addition to adequate rest to maintain mental well-being, diet is also a primary source for sustaining bodily functions. So, what can be consumed to enhance creativity and inspiration? In metaphysics, the “Wenchang Star” represents thinking, creativity, and learning ability. The Wenchang Star belongs to the Wood element, also known as the “Wenqu Star” which governs academic success and creativity. Starting from this issue, Chu Qi will recommend several dishes that enhance Wenchang in spring. The first dish: “Stir-fried Chives with Clams and Eggs” – Chives belong to the Wood element; cut them into sections rather than small pieces to strengthen their “Wood” energy. Clams belong to the Water element, and eggs belong to the Metal element. This combination forms a strong Five Elements generative chain, promoting thinking and improving eyesight. Friends engaged in design and planning can consume this dish more often in spring.
2. The “Wenchang Star” is not only beneficial for friends in creative and design industries but also helps young students unleash their potential in learning. This issue, Chu Qi recommends the Wenchang dish: “Stir-fried Cucumber with Shrimp”. Cucumbers belong to the Wood element, rich in vitamins and malic acid, and are fibrous foods that help detoxify. Choose green cucumbers without peeling, remove the seeds, slice them, and stir-fry with fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp belong to the Water element, and in metaphysics, Water has the ability to penetrate and connect, aiding the Wenchang Star in expressing its Wood nature. Fresh shrimp are rich in protein, making them beneficial for brain health. Students should consume this dish more in spring, and combined with regular and sufficient sleep, it will yield great results.
