A great Chinese physician named Xu Da Chun (1693-1772) once remarked, “Sometimes the same disease attacks different people who are then treated in the same way and by the same medicine; but more often than not, some of them recover after treatment, others remain the same, still others even get worse.

People are broadly classified into six body types each of which displays distinct signs and symptoms and requires certain foods for their good health.
