NEWS AND HIGHLIGHTS:
Headache vs. breakfast: You can avoid or reduce your chronic headache by eating a
breakfast that is high in protein (such as eggs).  This remedy is especially useful if your
headache starts at occipital area (at the back of the head) and radiates to the area behind
the eye-ball.  Dr. Li Wang is voluntarily teaching “Acupressure for Headache” classes at
Bloomington and Richfield community education.  If you are interested, please call 952-

SEASONAL HEALTH NOTES:
Summer is finally coming.  It is starting to get hot and muggy outside.  Please remember
to drink warm water after a big sweat, avoid getting directly blown on by air conditioners
and fans when you sleep or rest, and cover your abdomen in a cold room if you have
cramps in your stomach.  

Sunshine is beautiful.  If you have a Vitamin D deficiency, it is good time to have some
sunshine.  But in order to protect your skin from future disease, please remember to cover
yourself with either long sleeve thin shirts and long thin pants or sunscreen when you stay
under the sun (such as playing golf, working outside, gardening, etc).  For more detailed
information, check our
seasonal notes.

RECIPES:
Eggs are great for breakfast as protein resources.  Here is a fancy way to cook eggs – Egg
Pudding.  It is very easy to digest and thus easily absorbed by your body.  In China, it is
often used to feed children as young as 4 months.
Ingredients: 2 eggs, 2 inches of green onion, a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, and
some sesame oil.
Instructions:
1.        Beat the eggs in a glass bowl or ceramic bow with the salt
2.        Add an equal amount of water slowly while stirring the egg mix
3.        Add the green onion
4.        Put the bowl in a pot that is filled with 1 inch of water
5.        Turn stove to medium-high and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are
no longer runny
6.        Take the bowl out, and add the soy sauce and a couple of drops of sesame oil on
top of the egg. It is ready to serve.
