In the West people think of food only as nutrition; when they become ill they turn to medical treatment for a cure. However, in China, food is medicine. Not only does it provide nutrition for health, but it is used to prevent and treat illness. This practical guide explains the time-honoured Chinese tradition of eating for health and longevity, and shows how familiar foods from the supermarket will help you build up your immune system, the key to long life.
