According to Chinese medicine,the body is like a tree that lives through the seasons of nature,and it needs regular energy to stay healthy and prevent illness.The four important bodily organs need special energy in each season.We should eat special food and vegetables to protect them.
Many countries are changing their social habits in order to protect themselves.
France
France is famous for its romantic greetings.They touch each other's faces and make a kissing sound.But now,this habit may have to stop.A French manner expert said that simply looking into a person's eyes can be enough as a greeting.
