Q. I've been incorporating stir-fried tofu into my diet for weight loss. As a Traditional Korean Medicine practitioner, would you recommend it?
Tofu is an excellent source of high-quality protein and provides a great sense of satiety, making it a valuable ingredient for weight management. However, in Traditional Korean Medicine, tofu is considered to have a 'cool' (凉) nature. While it is convenient to prepare, it may cause digestive discomfort or bloating for individuals with a cold constitution or weak digestive fire. It is important to consume it in moderation according to your specific gastrointestinal condition.
