Eating According to Elemental Balance for Better Health

Abstract

The concept of eating according to one’s elemental balance is rooted in traditional health beliefs that classify individuals and foods into core elements. This approach emphasizes understanding personal characteristics and aligning dietary habits accordingly to promote overall well-being. This article explores how food can be categorized by elements, how individuals can identify their dominant element based on their birth day, and how applying this knowledge can support better health. In line with the Chulalongkorn University Values Integration Program (CUVIP), this topic reflects the integration of cultural wisdom with personalized learning, encouraging individuals to make informed lifestyle choices for sustainable health.
