The Story in Brief
Traditional Chinese Medicine says fixing gut health starts with the spleen, not just diet. Acupuncturist and herbalist Dr Lily Choi says the spleen and stomach work as digestive partners, and mental state affects digestion. She suggests five habits: chew food thoroughly, eat mindfully without distractions, prefer warm cooked food over raw salads, sleep between 11pm and 3am for detox, and never skip breakfast.
Choi warns that cold or raw foods weaken digestive fire, causing bloating and sluggishness. Times Now reports these are based on popular beliefs and is not responsible for their accuracy.
The Indian Opinion
This article packages age-old TCM wisdom as trendy 'hacks', but the real story is how modern lifestyles ignore basic digestive biology. The claim that cold salads harm gut health will irrate raw-food fans, yet the advice to chew mindfully and sleep early is hardly controversial. Neither side has hard numbers on how many Indians actually follow these rules. A simple test: does skipping breakfast for a month worsen your bloating? That is the only question that matters.
