Letha Hadady's video Asian Health Secrets explains in an easy way how to balance the five elements in one's diet according to the Chinese principles of health.. This lively video captures the colorful markets in Chinatown so vividly that one can almost smell the fragrance of lemon grass and ginger. Her simple explanations to a balanced health are a wonderful example of her profound knowledge on this complex subject. It takes a truly gifted person to demystify the Asian health secrets and translate them into an easily understandable language.

Another great thing that came to me from this video was the Chi Gong breathing exercise for health and vitality. I have tried it and it really works.

Anyone interested in what the Chinese wisdom has to offer to the Western world will find this to be a required video in their library.
