Thai natural philosophy is based on the principle that nature consists of four elements -- Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire -- which are also present in our physical bodies. It is believed that each of us is born with a dominant, or "home" element, and that the path to general wellness requires a knowledge of one's home element in order to achieve harmony with nature. In The Elements of Life, award-winning cookbook author Su-Mei Yu translates this concept for a Western audience, and shows how these Asian principles can be used in readers' daily lives to achieve greater health, beauty, longevity, and spiritual wellness. The book is accompanied by an interactive wheel that allows readers to quickly identify their own home elements. Individual chapters focusing on each of the four elements provide advice on planning meals around one's own dominant element in conjunction with the weather and the time of day.(BIP)
