Chinese Nutrition: Now that it is Autumn, eat fewer cold, uncooked foods ~ such as salads ~ and more warm, cooked foods. Switch from salads to soups and steamed vegetables such as winter squash, winter peas, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and yams. Incorporate yellow and red foods into your meals. Start your day with hot oatmeal.
