Botanical
Orders for Japanese,
Thai and Eastern Chinese Days
Advanced Level of Diet on Miryai Mt.
In the Living Gods, Let the
hallowed Light of Transcendent Truth be praised. Let the Sweet Mystery
of Miryai awaken in the heart of hearts.
The Foods listed below are those Botanical Orders
associated with the first of five rotational days according to the 5 Lights
grouping. They can be used to construct an Asian, Japanese, Thai or eastern
Chinese Cuisine and menu.
(In order to adhere to the principles of rotating foods
in ones diet, it is important not to add foods not listed below on one
of every 5 days. To keep a balance between the 5 food groups of earth,
water, fire, wind and zephyr it is important to eat an equal amount of
food from each group. These factors create some challenges, especially
when trying to create a specific cuisine such as Japanese, but it is possible
as the 3 menu examples below will show.)
Protein for the entire menu is approximately 60 grams.

The meal times outlined below are suggestive only. They
are restricted to 2/5 of the day, leaving a 14 hour fasting window. The
two 5 hour periods have different protocols. One is for fattier foods and
non starchy carbs like salads, stir fries, avocados, flax oil, tofu, garbonzos.
The other 5 hour period is starch heavy, with little added fats. The order
of their observance depends upon the time of day most energy is needed.
If heavy work or exercise is in the morning, then the starch period is
observed, if in the afternoon then the fattier block of time is in the
morning. The best pattern, to keep blood sugar constant, is to consume
the starches in the afternoon rather than the morning. (Underweight individuals
might want to mix fattier meals with starchy ones, but normal or overweight
individuals should keep them as separate as possible.) The Foods of the
5 Lights listed above are here organized according to the "Oryoki" 5 Bowl
pattern, a system of food serving where 5 bowls of varying sizes and contents
are presented to the diner. The following table represents the various
foods available for any given bowl. These alloted types of food should
ideally be at least 50% of the serving, but foods from other bowl categories
can be included as well if they form less than half of the contents. It
is best for the Brunch (or Supper if starches are concentrated in morning
hours) drinks and foods to be low glycemic, spiking insulen as little as
possible - hence the choice of berries, melons and less sweet fruits for
the beverage and less starchy foods for the soup and starch bowl.

If heavy work or exercise is in the morning, then the starch period is
observed in the morning, if more energy is needed in the afternoon then
the fattier block of time is in the morning and the carb heavy meals are
moved to the afternoon. (Underweight individuals might want to mix fattier
meals with starchy ones, but normal or overweight individuals should keep
them as separate as possible.) Bruch and Dinner can be combined into one
rather than two meals unless more calories are needed.

COLOPHON: This
grouping of edible plants was made by me, Yesai, on Miryai Mt. in late
2021 as a revision of the outdated Chinese 5 Element system. It was made
in an attempt to develop a balanced dietary program based upon the realities
of modern botanical classifications and on practicalities of growing,
processing and preparing one's
own nutrient dense food. It was formulated in partial response to the quote
of Bardaisan about the need to balance the five types of food as well as
in an attempt to modernize and improve the Five Element system encountered
in traditional Chinese medicine.
Peace to all....
