LLHL 212 - Eastern Medicinal Theory and the Energetics of Food

Discover an Eastern perspective on food -- one which emphasizes the quality of what we eat, rather than the Western obsession of quantity as represented by caloric intake -- and understand how ancient theories can help you make more healthful choices in your everyday life.
