Bruce,

Thanks for your reply - it is both enlightening and very reassuring. I noted that you said that large portions of seaweed can be too yang. Lately, (past 2 weeks), I've felt lacking in energy - and I noted that this was the period that I'd have large portions of seaweed daily. I also had tofu cheese (cooked) 2x a week. Is that probably the reason for my feeling of weakness? Sometimes I feel a trembling sensation beneath my skin - and I think this is related to fatigue. Also I thought that this was part of my body's discharging the MSG that I took last month. I was also absent of exercise for months. I've started doing brisk walking every night for 10 to 20 minutes.

What can I eat to give me back my energy? I eat nishime but only once a week. What else can I do to get my energy back?

thanks.
