Summer is hot, muggy and sticky. Often we look to light salads to cool us down. But salad carries a cold essence, requiring our bodies to use more Qi for digestion. Here’s a great solution: fish! And if you’re still craving salad, add a vinegar or ginger-based dressing to warm it up.

Many types of fresh fish can be found in markets throughout the summer. Shellfish and salmon support the Kidney and are especially beneficial for men’s health. Topping the fish with plum tomatoes, pineapple or mango, gives the Heart an added energetic boost.
