We’ve all seen it. A friend tries a new diet. She loses all sorts of weight, finds renewed energy and zest for life. At her urging you try it and nothing, or worse yet, you gain weight and feel more tired than ever. What gives?
I recently found a very good answer to this question after many years of searching. It’s called your disease type. Traditional healing systems see disease as an expression of imbalance. Thus, by eating and caring for yourself in a way that keeps you in balance, you stay healthy.
There are eight disease types, or ways in which your body can go out of balance. Everyone has one of them. Simply put, there are eight ways of eating and taking care of you. Only one of them is right for you. This explains why the diet that works for your friend doesn’t work for you. She just happened to find a diet that keeps her disease type in balance.
