Benefits of the Glucose and the sweet flavor
How do you feel when you eat something naturally sweet? When I eat the sweet flavor in its natural form, I feel good! I feel happy. Like I just received a warm hug by the sweet flavor.
The sweet flavor is supportive, relaxing and harmonizing to our respiratory system, digestive, nervous system, and our muscular system. It is a yin substance. Yin is soft, gentle, and smooth.
Chinese medicine diagnostically relates the sweet flavor to our Spleen and Stomach organs. These organs are our earth element and are the supportive foundation for all other organs. When we consume the sweet flavor, all other organs reap the benefits.
“During the season between summer and autumn, late summer, the fruits ripen and turn yellow. When they ripen they taste sweet and can nourish spleen qi. The spleen qi is then able to nourish the muscles and flesh,” The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Medicine.
The sweet flavor supports us by not only providing glucose but also necessary trace minerals. Read more about trace minerals in my salty post. The sweet flavor keeps muscles and bones pliable, toned, and strong. It also coats our nervous system to ensure it fires smoothly. This smooth coating of glucose is what settles restlessness, anxiety, and heart palpitations.
Like a fish out of water, our nervous system needs glucose in order to calm and stabilize our nervous system.
