Bunion Prevention Diet

The appearance of a bunion at the usual location can be an indication that your spleen isn't functioning properly.

Do:

  • Do use products that warm your spleen, like ginger, onions, leeks, garlic, cinnamon, fennel, and nutmeg
  • Do eat well-cooked food that is easy to digest (like thick soups and stews)
  • Do chew well: this also helps the spleen to digest
  • Do use aromatic herbs and spices in cooking to stimulate your digestion (like basil, dill seed, rosemary, garlic, mustard leaf, cayenne, star anise, cardamon, coriander, and marjoram)
  • Do eat yellow/orange foods such as squash, red lentils, carrots, sweet potatoes, cherries, papaya's, and yam
  • Do eat foods that drain excess dampness such as barley, corn, adzuki beans, and rye
  • Do eat foods that drive out the cold: anchovy, kohlrabi, lamb, shrimp, coconut, spelt, mussel, chestnut, chicken, trout, walnut, peach, and wine

Don'ts:

  • Don't use products made with sugar or sweeteners, but choose products with a little natural sugar (molasses) instead
  • Don't eat or drink raw, cold or chilled food
  • Don't eat foods that are prepared with a lot of butter and oil or that are greasy by themselves
  • Don't eat or drink dairy products (like milk, sour cream, yogurt, cheese, ice-cream)
  • Don't eat too much, but have moderate-sized meals
  • Don't drink a lot with your meals – have most of your fluid intake between meals
