There's still a little time. I'll tell you guys all about it! The 'keeping yourself in good health' and 'supplementation' we're talking about come from Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine pays particular attention to how people interact with their environment. This means that if people want to maintain good health, they have to comply with nature and also adapt to the climate of the four seasons, as well as the day and night cycle. This is to keep a good balance of Yin and Yang energy.
