I am a Taiwanese living in the United States. I started a vegetable and herb garden when the pandemic started. Since then, I found that the West actually has a rich heritage of herbs that are rather different from the Chinese ones. I have sage, lovage, summer savory, yarrow, American dittany, Yaupon holly in my garden. I never knew about any of these when I was in Taiwan. I think it is a shame that the West are forgetting its own herbal traditions.
yah you are so right. good things have been forgotten because madness in modern believes. luckily, you find it , as an Asian. let's hope there are more and more people realize this.
As a medical student both majoring in modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine in Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, there are truly many differences between the concept of staying healthy in Chinese medicine and western one. Our goal is to learn and realize how to combine their similarities between them with their distinctives maintained. Maybe there are still many stuff in TCM cannot be verified, we are trying hard to research the mechanisms of them and use them to give patients more choices if needed. Thanks for your introduction

As this informative video shows…one great advantage of being immersed in two very different cultures is to see things from more than one perspective and have alternative solutions to a problem. We call 粥 congee.
Very nicely done. Appreciate the thorough walk-thru on stuff I’ve been going around and around with my mom for years, especially the food and temperature. This helps me understand the Chinese perspective quite a bit even though I can’t completely wrap my mind around it. Side bar. I have a friend from Worthing and you sound just like him. Now I know why….. And you should do a video on the different accents in England at some point. That would be a fun one.
I know that drinking hot can warm up ourselves when having sore throat. Along with drinking tea every single day in the British culture. Another thing that I had been asking about Eastern culture is that why drinking soup is helpful for health? And I just realized that. Thank you for sharing, Miss Susie.
Hello Susie, it is really good that you open this topic and talk about the food and herbal medcine. Asia women even have period of rest for a month after delivery of a baby, but it is unusual in western culture, which is also a difference in that.
I just came back to Taipei from 3 weeks of maskless vacation in London. Love the fantastic architectures in London, can't get used to seeing tons of men standing outside of bars/restaurants drinking, holding a glass, without a table. Now that's exotic for me! Do you know that they have a Brazilian Japanese restaurant in London? We don't even have that in Taipei!
thanks so much for your vidoe, i would really like to say that your opinion in the last part of the video, i have thought about that too actually, more people is afraid because of the reason, but in China we thinking more about not to spread the virus to the other people.... so intrestning to reflex about it.
It is not the same for everyone, but I know cold water is not good for my body. When I am on my period, cold water either makes my stomach hurt, or results in uncomfortable heavy flow. Warm water soothes pretty much everything. I used to take supplements, but now I just eat healthy and try to get the different kinds of nutrients from natural food. I don't know why I think taking vitamins/medicine long term is going to just diminish their effects.
Yeah, people from West side who against the cold weather good than us. We need more things to protect us. I wish have a lots baby likes you who don't fear cold weather. Thanks for sharing, kindly lady.
I didn’t really trust Chinese medicine along with me growing up. But one thing changed my thought, I used to have very bad stomach (has pain, vomit at least once a week), my mom took me to a Chinese medicine clinic which was famous at my city. Their service was not good but after I drank that dark thick stuff from boiling at least 15 different herbs, my stomach just recovered magically…even I don’t trust it totally but I have respect for it as it saved me at that time from dark uncomfortable days
FYI - acupuncture has been very popular in many cities in the US since the insurance companies started accepting acupuncture treatments in their policies in 1996. Although not yet scientifically proven, acupuncture is believed to be an effective alternative to conventional medicine in treating certain health conditions such as digestive problems, migraines, chronic back pain, etc. Good to know that acupuncture has been getting more acceptance in the UK. I am curious if it is also the case for the rest of Europe.
Hi Susie. We say congee instead of porridge for 粥. I've seen the Chinese medical professional for many years. In Chinese health concepts, we say the digestive system is the main factor of keeping yourself healthy. If I'ven't mistaken, hot food and drinks can keep your digestive system in good condition because our body temperature has to be kept in 37 degree Celsius. When you eat some cold food and take cold drinks, it can be a burden to your digestive system because it takes more energy to digest them. The body will become weak with not enough energy so people will feel tired very easily. Having sunshine is good for health not just because it makes you feel happy but also get your blood circulation functioning well in higher temperature. With good blood circulation you have more energy. That's why keeping warm is a very important concept to Chinese. This is the concept of 'damp濕' as well as yin'dark陰' and yang'bright陽' in Chinese health theory and you can figure it out in detail. Also, it's so important to have blood circulation especially to women having periods because women lose a lot of blood and it makes the blood circulation not in good condition. And '當歸Angelica' is a common Chinese herb used to heal the women in periods because it faculitates the blood circulation. But not all people can stand it and some may faint after taking it so it depends on their body condition that needs to be examined by the Chinese medicine professionals. Ginger is commonly used because it can heal the cold in many cases as it moistens your throat. For example, so many Chinese add ginger with honey in hot water(薑蜜) when they feel their throats are dry because they know they can catch cold easily with dry throats. Sometimes Chinese eat congee when they are not feeling well with their stomach because it's usually hot with lots of carbohydrates and not irritative to your digestive system. When Chinese have problems with your digestive system, we lose a lot of carbohydrates so congee is a good source of energy and patients usually eat congee in the morning in the hospitals in Hong Kong but of course the nutritionists will calculate the intake of nutrition according to their health conditions.
@@vincentng2392 From the Cambridge dictionary: congee means a kind of thick Chinese soup made with rice porridge means a thick, soft food made from oats boiled in milk or water, eaten hot for breakfast
Hi Susie, you look great in the video! Actually I believe there's a scientific reason to keep warm to avoid catching a cold. Our immune system gets weaker when temperature gets lower. That's why we catch cold easier in winter. Also, it's an immune response when you have fever, your body needs to raise temperature to improve your immune system to fight virus/bacteria or any other harmful conditions.
Love that you are just placing two cultures on the table and comparing then as they are. Asian culture is often either vilified or fetishized, but you don't do either. Keep doing this Susie ❤️
Thanks for your insight and sharing. I think it is a different in living style rather than culture difference. As for warm water drinking, you might say that Chinese do like eating warm food. And they believe the warm food is good.
很多西方的文明和知識，沒有流傳下來。比如何時喝熱水。在早期的一些書裏，人們是重視這些的，主要是因爲實在不能生病，沒錢每醫生，所以必須要好好的照顧好身體。little house on the prairie 就列舉了很多這些生活細節。 現代西方的日常生活概念和過去的西方，有很大的不同。 喝冷水的習慣大概是和普遍的使用冰箱有關，因爲用了冰箱，所以就喝凍水。這和因爲有空調，就一定開空調不接受自然的溫度，想法心理差不多吧。成了冰箱的奴隸。動不動就冰水冰袋，這都是有了冰箱後的產物，和對現代生活過度追捧的結果。沒有冰箱的時候，哪裏找冰？？過去的人是如何生活的？如果有這個想法，就不會單一的認爲西方人就只是喝冷水用冰袋了。 再有西方人不喜歡大量飲水。這和飲食結構、生活習慣有很大關係。也因爲如此，西方人的皮膚較粗糙，體味重。 月子：的續集裏，有関女人坐月子的一段。西方人最初不是沒有坐月子，而是沒條件。一般人都要承擔家務，不可能有額外的勞動力再來照顧產婦。在中國，過去鄉下很多婦女身體强壯，都不做月子。在田裏勞動的時候，生下孩子，放在樹蔭下，女人繼續幹活。月子期間，可以在家做飯不下田的，就算是“嬌氣、條件很好”得了。坐月子的傳統在中國留傳下來了，這是一個好事情。 再有，西方的醫藥文明的發達程度是有限的，中國的中草藥is on the top。 所以人們生活中知道如何更好的保護自己，不讓身體無辜的受傷或者流失能量。蓋住肚子的習慣自古就有。不蓋的影響就是肚子會受涼，不會影響生死，但是影響健康水平。 you don't need to be a doctor to know a lot. when reading books, you can find some hints easily. or talk to old people.
interesting enough, in our Cantonese culture, eating chicken or having a chicken soup would be the last thing we do when we have colds, due to the chicken oil it has as I remember
Okay, for the temperature part, I think I can provide a different perspective. The biggest difference between East and West isn't much in the culture, there are some, but mostly it is in the geolocation and weather pattern itself. Why? The temperature gap (highest vs lowest) temperature in US is much larger than in country like Taiwan, a tropical island. Human body adapts to the environment takes time, after I came from Taiwan to US like 4-5 years, EVERY TIME I went back to Taiwan during the winter time, between December -January, I don't wear as much clothes as Taiwanese people on the street. Heck, I even sweat a lot when I walked from my parents home to Metro station while others wearing jackets on the street and I can just wear a T-shirt because my body generates so much heat because and I believe my body is already accustomed to the dry and large temperature gap environment. It's same shock when I first came to US and see people wearing shorts running outside when there were lots of snow everywhere. 😅 BTW, that "bright orange" color you mentioned is mostly coming from the Vitamin C that your body don't need or can't absorb therefore being naturally ejected by your body. 😅
I think "vegan", or "vegetarian" is also a good topic between East and West. By the way, I guess the Westerns' red blood cells, in average, are higher than Easterns. That's part of the resons and moreover, “陰陽”的概念也在養生，飲食當中，my Chinese medical teacher told me in winter time it's fine to take some Ice cream while in summer ice cream is not ok for our bodies.
In the old day every UK family had a herb garden and a handbook for that , BBC has a video to introduce that medieval book and how to use it, before those big pharma company emerging. those herbs were your daily dose.
I myself is an Asian. For myself some of the healthy advices and concepts are only a descent belief. Because they are not scientific. However, drinking hot water and eating hot or warm food is definitely better to your body than icy cold drinks and cold raw food. Thanks for your analysis.
western old herbal medicine shares the similar principle with Chinese herbal medicine, Chinese at a much higher level. except many people don't know. good things have been forgotten. that's all. what you know about western medicine is very limited, only about now. most people do. but when you look at the past of western medicine(herbal part), you won't feel Chinese medicine is not scientific.
Asians are taken out when they see a baby that is a few months old, especially in wet and cold weather. But in fact, after living in Australia for a long time, I feel that Europeans are particularly precocious and strong.
Dear Susie, Do you think biological aging can be reversed? How to live longer in good health condition? 1. to eliminate free radicals and oxidative stress gone. 2. to clear away lipofuscin 3. to clear away AGES (advanced glycation endproducts) Alas, western medication and/or diet forever can't accompolish afore-mentioned.

喝熱水沒問題，但是別喝燙的，“熱”和“燙”是兩回事，apples and oranges。最好是溫水。因爲滾燙的水會傷害食道，長期喝燙的水或湯，吃燙嘴的飯會導致食道潰瘍，引發食道癌
真的不要喝熱的，一定要溫的，醫生就有警告過我喝湯要先放涼，飲料、咖啡也要稍微放涼再喝。
I will try the product
感谢分享，我觉得西方人的养生约等于健康饮食，和中国人说的养生或者调理不是同一个概念。Anyway this is a very good topic.
我大約用了蘋果醋大半年，真的好好的東西，其實世上好多不同民族都有食醋的文化，
但大多數都是知其然而不知其所以胨，不過我有另一個解釋為何醋這樣好 ， 以下是我觀察到的:
醋酸英文是 acetic acid (化學分子為CH3COOH)，其中最後一個H 在水解後變成 CH3COO- + H+ , CH3COO- 為 acetate group , 它跟身體內的鉀組合成 Potassium Acetate (CH3COOK), 它其實是一隻 pH緩衝劑,
而生體的生化反應需要一個穏定的pH 環境，這個醋酦鉀就能夠提供這個功能，它把身體的pH 調到最好的位置，就是這麼簡單。
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️建议复习一下高中生物，人体有一个将pH值控制在一个合理区间内的机制…你的人体各个部位的pH值都是不同的…不同的生化反应需要的酸碱环境也不同…如果认为吃什么东西就能“调节”你“体内的pH值”，那只会是暂时的过程，最终还是会回到一个平衡值。不然的话每次你喝咖啡，喝可乐，难道你身体所谓的的pH值就保持酸性不回来了吗？🤦🏻♂️你知道你胃酸，胆汁和血液的pH值都大概是多少吧？
喜歡這種文化差異的討論😘
太好了
说的很好呀

Drinking warm water and avoiding cold drinks are also a common beliefs in HongKong.

Thanks for your insight and sharing. I think it is a different in living style rather than culture difference. As for warm water drinking, you might say that Chinese do like eating warm food. And they believe the warm food is good.
很多西方的文明和知識，沒有流傳下來。比如何時喝熱水。在早期的一些書裏，人們是重視這些的，主要是因爲實在不能生病，沒錢每醫生，所以必須要好好的照顧好身體。little house on the prairie 就列舉了很多這些生活細節。
現代西方的日常生活概念和過去的西方，有很大的不同。 喝冷水的習慣大概是和普遍的使用冰箱有關，因爲用了冰箱，所以就喝凍水。這和因爲有空調，就一定開空調不接受自然的溫度，想法心理差不多吧。成了冰箱的奴隸。動不動就冰水冰袋，這都是有了冰箱後的產物，和對現代生活過度追捧的結果。沒有冰箱的時候，哪裏找冰？？過去的人是如何生活的？如果有這個想法，就不會單一的認爲西方人就只是喝冷水用冰袋了。
再有西方人不喜歡大量飲水。這和飲食結構、生活習慣有很大關係。也因爲如此，西方人的皮膚較粗糙，體味重。
月子：的續集裏，有関女人坐月子的一段。西方人最初不是沒有坐月子，而是沒條件。一般人都要承擔家務，不可能有額外的勞動力再來照顧產婦。在中國，過去鄉下很多婦女身體强壯，都不做月子。在田裏勞動的時候，生下孩子，放在樹蔭下，女人繼續幹活。月子期間，可以在家做飯不下田的，就算是“嬌氣、條件很好”得了。坐月子的傳統在中國留傳下來了，這是一個好事情。
再有，西方的醫藥文明的發達程度是有限的，中國的中草藥is on the top。 所以人們生活中知道如何更好的保護自己，不讓身體無辜的受傷或者流失能量。蓋住肚子的習慣自古就有。不蓋的影響就是肚子會受涼，不會影響生死，但是影響健康水平。
