The Five Elements are interrelated through generation and overcoming.
Generation: Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, Earth generates Metal, Metal generates Water, Water generates Wood. —- Generation represents development.
Overcoming: Wood overcomes Earth, Earth overcomes Water, Water overcomes Fire, Fire overcomes Metal, Metal overcomes Wood. —- Overcoming represents balance.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the concepts of “Five Elements, Five Qi, Five Organs, Five Tastes, and Five Colors” are interconnected and mutually supportive, generating and overcoming 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 (Gan), Gallbladder (Dan), 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 work hard to store blood. The Five Elements are originally generated in the order of Liver → Heart (Xin) → Spleen (Pi) → Lung (Fei) → Kidney (Shen). If the liver is overworked and weak, it affects the heart, spleen, lung, and kidney, and the accumulated anger from overwork can also harm the liver. Therefore, snacks during overtime work can include sour foods, such as preserved plums. If any organ associated with Wood feels uncomfortable, it is beneficial to consume more green foods associated with Wood. These foods correspond to the liver and gallbladder, containing a large amount of chlorophyll, vitamins, and fiber, which can help the organs accelerate the elimination of toxins from the body. Emotions 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. Emotions associated with Fire: Joy Taste associated with Fire: Bitter Foods associated with Fire: Red foods. The heart is associated with Fire, and during this time, it is easy to experience excess heat, restlessness, and rapid heartbeat, which increases the burden on the heart. Therefore, it is crucial to nourish the heart in summer. In addition to consuming heart-nourishing foods, according to the principle of overcoming in the Five Elements, the kidney overcomes heart fire, so nourishing kidney energy in winter is a wise approach. To nourish the heart, it is best to eat red foods, which correspond to the red blood and the heart responsible for blood circulation. People with poor complexion and cold extremities can benefit from consuming more red 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 it begins to rain. Organs associated with Earth: Spleen, Stomach, Mouth. Emotions 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, and when the spleen and stomach are affected, appetite decreases, 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 energy. According to the Five Elements, the heart nourishes the spleen, and consuming bitter foods that strengthen the heart also benefits the spleen. If there are issues with the earth organs, yellow foods correspond to them. The spleen and stomach play a role in nutrient supply in the body; 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. In autumn, it is essential to nourish the lungs, and the most common ailment is coughing, which is influenced by the spirit in the Five Elements. In autumn, plants begin to wither, which can easily lead to feelings of melancholy. Organs associated with Metal: Lungs, Large Intestine, Nose. Emotions associated with Metal: Sadness. Sadness is associated with Metal and originates from the lungs; excessive sadness can damage the lungs. Taste associated with Metal: Spicy Foods associated with Metal: White foods. Foods associated with Metal primarily correspond to the lungs and are mostly white foods. They are neutral and cool in nature, can strengthen the lungs and clear the voice, and promote gastrointestinal motility, enhancing metabolism and giving the skin elasticity and luster. Recommended foods: Pears, white radishes, yam, almonds, lilies, and white fungus.
Water
Season associated with Water: Winter. Organs associated with Water: Kidneys, Bladder, Ears. Excessive external food can harm the kidneys, which are the organs we care about most. Chefs often use a lot of oil and salt in cooking, which makes food more flavorful. However, salty flavor is associated with Water and the kidneys; in moderation, it is beneficial, but excessive consumption is detrimental. If the complexion is dark, it may indicate kidney issues. Emotions 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 the bones. Recommended foods: Black beans, black sesame, blueberries, shiitake 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 term “the liver and gallbladder reflect each other.” When the gallbladder’s energy rises, the liver’s energy 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 suffer on its behalf. If there are absorption issues, it can lead to small intestine diseases. When the small intestine is in its prime, if a person experiences blushing, palpitations, or chest tightness, it indicates a problem in the relationship between the heart and small intestine, which is 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 energy 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 directly address the large intestine meridian, as clearing the fire from the large intestine can resolve the issue.
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 in storing and expelling 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 and could observe the Five Organs and Six Bowels. How did he achieve this? It 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 could naturally see where you are unwell. This is not about having a “seeing eye”; it simply means he had profound knowledge 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 an ideal nourishing fruit.
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 chives, indicating that vegetables have the role of 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, associated with summer, so red foods nourish the heart and invigorate blood, and also have the effect of promoting blood circulation. Especially in summer, it is crucial to nourish the heart, so it is advisable to eat more hawthorn (red fruit), tomatoes, red apples, red peaches, red radishes, and red peppers.
The kidney color is black, associated with winter, so black foods are beneficial for kidney anti-aging. Especially in winter, it is essential to nourish the kidneys, so it is advisable to eat more black mulberries, black sesame, black rice, black beans, He Shou Wu, and cooked Rehmannia.
The lung color is white, associated with autumn, so white foods have a nourishing effect on the lungs. Therefore, in autumn, it is advisable to eat 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 during late summer and the last 18 days of each season, it is advisable to eat 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 eat 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 overcome the spleen and stomach (Wood overcomes Earth), resulting in digestive dysfunction.
Excessively alkaline taste: Alkaline taste nourishes the kidneys, but too much alkaline can harm the kidneys and damage the bones (the kidneys govern the bones and produce marrow). Excessive kidney qi can lead to suppressed heart qi (Water overcomes Fire), causing palpitations and shortness of breath.
Excessively sweet taste: Sweet taste nourishes the spleen, but too much sweetness can harm the spleen, leading to stomach bloating and discomfort, and can also overcome kidney water (Earth overcomes Water), resulting in 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 overcomes Metal).
Excessively spicy taste: Spicy taste nourishes the lungs, but too much spiciness can harm the lungs, leading to sluggish tendons (Metal overcomes Wood; the liver belongs to Wood and governs the 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 need to maintain active thinking in a competitive market to create unique design ideas that gain recognition. It is not easy to achieve this, so 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 good spirits, diet is also a primary source of maintaining bodily functions. So what should one eat to enhance creativity and inspiration? In metaphysics, the “Wenchang Star” represents thinking and creativity, and it 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 into sections rather than diced, to strengthen their “Wood” energy. Clam meat belongs to the Water element, and eggs belong to the Metal element. This combination forms a strong chain of Five Elements that supports thinking and improves eyesight. Friends engaged in design and planning can eat this dish more often in spring.
2. The “Wenchang Star” is beneficial not only for friends in creative and design fields but also for young students, as it can help them unleash their potential for learning. This issue’s recommended Wenchang dish is “Stir-fried Cucumber with Shrimp”. Cucumber belongs to the Wood element, rich in vitamins and malic acid, and is a fiber food that aids detoxification. Choose green cucumbers, do not peel, remove seeds, and slice them to stir-fry with fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp belongs to the Water element, and in metaphysics, Water has the ability to penetrate and connect, which helps the Wenchang Star express its Wood nature. Fresh shrimp is rich in protein, making it a brain-boosting food. Students should eat this dish more in spring, and combined with regular and sufficient sleep, it will yield great results.
