AT A GLANCE
The constitution the classics describe as the ideal: even energy, good digestion, stable sleep and mood. The whole tradition of "eating in season" is written for this baseline.
Typical signs
Energetic but not restless, sleeps well, tolerates seasonal foods well, even appetite and mood.
Food principles
Eat in season, vary the grains and vegetables, keep portions moderate — the Sun Simiao rule of "a little, more often". No special regimen needed; the balanced constitution’s job is to keep its balance.
