1 Day Menu using Daoist Principles*

Dao Life dietary principles emphasize balance, harmony, and natural foods. Here’s a simple example of a Dao Life-inspired daily dietary menu:

Breakfast:

  1. Oatmeal with Fresh Berries: Start your day with a bowl of organic steel cut oatmeal topped with fresh mixed berries. Oats are considered a balanced grain in Daoist philosophy, and berries provide natural sweetness for the digestive system in the morning and antioxidants ready for early afternoon when the heart is more active.
  2. Green Tea: Enjoy a cup of green tea. Green tea is known for its health benefits and is a common Dao Life beverage due to its natural, cleansing properties. Interesting note: Green Tea kills the COVID virus. Scientists use green tea in the pharmaceutical lab to disable the COVID virus while they tinker with and modify the virus’ genes. Green Tea kills the COVID virus EVERY TIME. I love that.

Lunch:

  1. Stir-Fried Vegetables with Shrimp, Chicken or Steak: Over the weekend, pre-prepare a stir-fry with a variety of colorful vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and snap peas, or you can buy an organic bagged pre mix. Add a clean protein. Season with light organic, GMO free soy sauce and ginger or clean, GMO free, organic bottled sauce for flavor.
  2. Brown Rice: Serve the stir-fry over a portion of organic brown rice. Brown rice is considered a balanced grain and is rich in nutrients.

Snack:

  1. Fresh Fruit & Nuts: Snack on fresh, seasonal fruit, such as apples, pears, or oranges. Fruit is considered a harmonious Daoist snack option due to its natural sweetness and vitality. Add some favorite nuts for added protein, and healthy fat.

Dinner Eaten BEFORE dark or nighttime:

  1. Miso Soup: Start your dinner with a bowl of miso soup. Miso is a fermented soybean paste that is both nutritious and helpful for immunity and healing. Fermented soybean (GMO free, organic) is called NATTO, and is used nowadays for Long COVID and vax injuries because it successfully blocks rogue spike proteins and prevents them from damaging your cells.
  2. Steamed Fish with Vegetables: Prepare a simple steamed fresh caught, not farmed fish, and serve it with steamed vegetables like bok choy, asparagus, and mushrooms. Season with ginger, garlic, and a light GMO free, organic soy sauce. I agree with the PEGAN method, recommending the SMASH fish for less toxicity. (Salmon, Mackerel, Anchovies, Sardines, Herring) Fresh caught cod, if its for real, is a safe whitefish.
  3. Quinoa: Instead of rice, consider serving the meal with quinoa. Quinoa is a nutritious grain that provides balance and sustenance.

Before Bed:

  1. Herbal Tea: Wind down your day with a cup of herbal tea, such as chamomile or lavender. Herbal teas can promote relaxation and balance.
