TAO OF REVITALIZATION
It includes a system of exercises that have the innate power of healing in them.
Exercises that recall the movements of animals, or sequences such as the simple form of tai chi chuan (8 directions, coded).
They serve to work on internal energy, to develop it, to increase it, to preserve it. These are combined with meditation and breathing exercises. Often the three categories (posture / meditation / breathing) inevitably go together.

TAO OF THE BALANCED DIET
It refers to the most common foods. Essentially, for Taoists, eating means eating and nourishment comes from a good acid-alkaline balance within the body.
If you eat food without thinking about this harmony and the PH balance, you eat badly, you get hurt. A telltale sign of this corruption is bad breath.

TAO OF THE DIET OF THE FORGOTTEN FOOD
It essentially refers to herbs. In the world there are about a million varieties of plants, from them derive foods that are not poor, indeed, they become reservoirs of minerals and vitamins. "Forgotten food" because over time there has been a selection process that has favored weak foods, attractive for eyes, nose, palate.
