We can blame evolution on our desire to fill up. But, eating to 70% full is a long revered concept in TCM that reminds us to leave the table while we are still a little bit hungry......it's hard but it's possible to rise from the table with an appetite and it is the pathway to optimal digestion and health. #healthy #nutrition #eatclean #healthylifestyle #health #healthychoices #healthyliving #healthylife #weightloss

Kung fu (definition): Kung fu/Kungfu or Gung fu/Gongfu is a Chinese term referring to ANY study, learning, or practice that requires patience, energy, and time to complete, often used in the West to refer to Chinese martial arts, also known as Wushu. It is only in the late twentieth century, that this term was used in relation to Chinese Martial Arts by the Chinese community. The Oxford English Dictionary defines the term "Kung-fu" as "a primarily unarmed Chinese martial art ...resembling karate." This illustrates how this term has been misused in English. The origin of this misuse can be attributed to the misunderstanding or mistranslation of the term through movie subtitles or dubbing. In its original meaning, kung fu can refer to any skill achieved through hard work and practice, not necessarily martial. The Chinese literal equivalent of "Chinese martial art" would be zhngguó wshù. In Chinese, Gngfu is a compound of two words, combining meaning "work", "achievement", or "merit", and which is alternately treated as being a word for "man" or as a particle or nominal suffix with diverse meanings. A literal rendering of the first interpretation would be "achievement of man", while the second is often described as "work and time/effort". Its connotation is that of an accomplishment arrived at by great effort of time and energy. In Mandarin, when two "first tone" words such as gng and f are combined, the second word often takes a neutral tone, in this case forming gngfu. The word is also sometimes written as , this version often being used for more general, non-martial arts usages of the term. When we achieve balance in the body and mind it is expressed in our face. It is seen in our outward appearance, driven by the fact that when we are taking care of ourselves we feel more comfortable in our own skin.
