Noting down what my TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) doctor has told me to do and the explanations.

1. Drink about 1.5 litres of plain water a day. Why?

• Flush out toxins.
• Will hydrate the body.
• Make skin better.

2. Poop at least once daily.

• Basically if this doesn’t happen, something is wrong!

3. Eat breakfast before 9am. Why?

• Gets metabolism started.
• Breakfast can be as simple or small as one egg.

4. No fruits after lunch. Why?

• I have no idea, but when I did this consistently for 9 days, I fell sick for 2 weeks. Joy.
• Maybe your constitution is different from mine… Shrug.

5. No food after dinner.

• Not even dessert.
• Just drink plain water after dinner.

6. No cold drinks and food.

• Including cold fruits.

7. Is ok to never eat fruits, so as long I eat vegetables.

8. Sleep by 11pm. Why?

• The body has to “repair” itself between 1am to 3am (might have remembered the timings a bit off by an hour), when it’s in deep sleep. The body needs time to get into deep sleep, aka between 11pm to 1am.
