When planning a salad-focused diet like Subway, what does a Korean-medicine clinic check?
Rather than insisting on salad alone, care reviews digestion, constitution, and activity to set the proportions and preparation of protein, vegetables, and grains, then gradually broadens ordinary meals according to response.
A salad plan should include more than vegetables: check protein, grains, sauce, and portion size. If digestion is weak, a large amount of raw vegetables may cause stomach discomfort or reduced energy, so preparation and amount matter.
Korean medicine may describe reduced digestion and energy in a salad-heavy pattern as piheo, heaviness and retained fluid as dam-eum, and circulatory discomfort as eohyeol. This is a clinical framework for an individual state; it does not mean that a specific diet or herbal medicine guarantees metabolic improvement.
Care reviews digestion, constitution, and activity to set food combinations and portions, then expands a restrictive pattern toward sustainable ordinary meals as the response is observed. If stomach upset or low energy continues, adjust the diet with a clinician rather than eating less.
