Eastern and Western approaches to nutrition are unique and possess both strengths and weaknesses. Blending the best of both techniques will allow for the development of an integrative nutrition system that is more effective than either tradition on its own. The Western view to nutrition is already adopting certain attributes of the Eastern medicine philosophy as exemplified by the progression towards individualized nutrition through methods such as nutrigenetics. Nevertheless, many differences still remain between Eastern and Western nutritional concepts. Becoming fluent in both Western and Eastern methodologies can ensure the extraction of the best from both techniques for the development of a comprehensive, systematic, and holistic nutritional approach to achieve optimal health.
东方和西方的营养方法各有特点,都有其优点和缺点。将两种方法的优点融合在一起,将形成一种比任何单一传统方法都更有效的综合营养体系。西方的营养观点已经在采用东方医学哲学的某些属性,例如通过营养遗传学等方法朝着个性化营养的方向发展。然而,东方和西方的营养概念之间仍然存在许多差异。精通西方和东方的方法可以确保从两种技术中提取出最好的方法,以开发一种全面、系统和整体的营养方法,从而实现最佳健康。
