I once went through a phase of eating only roasted vegetables to stay healthy, but after a few days, I felt drained and dizzy. Through my own trial and error, I realized that simply increasing vegetable intake is not always the answer. Roasted vegetables have clear advantages: they are rich in dietary fiber, provide a feeling of fullness, and are generally easier on the stomach than raw vegetables. Especially for those with a 'Cold' constitution (cold-natured body), cooked vegetables are much more comfortable to digest. However, there are precautions. The most significant issue is protein deficiency. When muscle mass decreases, your basal metabolic rate drops, which can ironically make your body more prone to gaining weight. Furthermore, those with 'Spleen Deficiency' (脾虛)—meaning weakened digestive functions—may experience severe abdominal bloating if they overconsume vegetables, even when cooked. Additionally, if you have an accumulation of 'Dam-eum' (痰飮, phlegm-fluid) or 'Eo-hyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis), your metabolism may be stagnant. In such cases, diet alone has limitations because stagnant blood and metabolic waste make the body feel heavy regardless of what you eat. Rather than believing in a 'perfect' diet, it is important to first assess your current digestive state and metabolic capacity. If you would like to design a meal plan tailored specifically to your constitution, please feel free to visit the clinic so we can determine the best approach together.
