The Chinese also speak of a food's harmonic balance of yin and yang. Nourishment and medicine are based upon the same principals. Those who have a "yin" state of health, such as anaemics, should eat food with a "yang" nature, such as liver, eggs and dates.
中國人還講食物的陰陽調和，藥食同源，像具「陰」狀體態，如貧血的人，應食用「陽性」食物，如肝臟、雞蛋、棗子等。
