Which four habits start Korean medicine dietary management when work dinners and eating out are frequent?
Choose warm meals for spleen qi deficiency rather than only cold foods, use lukewarm water to support phlegm-fluid retention and blood-stasis care, chew thoroughly, and walk for 10 minutes after meals.
First, choose warm proteins or steamed foods instead of only cold salads for weak digestion and energy. Second, drink lukewarm water while considering swelling and stagnation as phlegm-fluid retention and blood stasis.
Third, chew thoroughly to support digestion and qi movement. Fourth, walk lightly for about 10 minutes rather than sitting immediately, addressing qi stagnation and circulation.
The aim is repeatable choices during real social schedules, not avoiding every meal out or severe restriction. If self-management is difficult, food and herbal support follow the individual pattern.
