The Spleen is damaged by dampness and foods that create dampness. These would include fried foods, sugars, iced drinks and an over consumption of raw foods; ironically, too
much salad, juicing, and fruits will damage the Spleen and cause additional weight gain instead of the weight loss you desire.

• Base pulse rate You should take your pulse before you get out of bed for 5 days in a row. Then average it to get the base line pulse rate. If your pulse is 10% or higher than your base line rate then don’t do anything out of the ordinary that day because your body is still in repair mode from the day before.
