The doctor revealed Thich Minh Tue's health after 7 years of fasting and walking North and South

Dr. Phan Xuan Trung - Hoa Hao Medical Center, Ho Chi Minh City recently made some diagnoses about Mr. Thich Minh Tue's health situation after many years of practicing asceticism.

With a minimalist lifestyle, Master Thich Minh Tue only eats one lunch, eats vegetarian food, eats whatever everyone gives him, does not choose and does not overeat. Vietnamese food is available and easy to think of as bread, potatoes, corn, fruit, cakes... There is no fixed food supply. Do not season with salt, sugar, or MSG. Therefore, the nutritional ingredients in Mr. Minh Tue's daily diet will mainly include starch and fiber, a little vegetable protein, and little or no fat.

Starch creates energy for walking activities. He has been walking continuously for the past 6 years at a very fast walking speed, mainly consuming energy from food for his leg muscles. There is no excess food to create subcutaneous fat or visceral fat, so the body is skinny, the skin is dry, and the muscles are small but supple. At the same time, food will be converted mostly into energy and will not create intermediate metabolites like proteins and lipids, thereby avoiding metabolic disorders.

Less protein will create less creatinine, less uric acid, and create less waste. The digestive system works less, so reflux, digestive disorders, and liver and gallbladder disorders are less likely to occur. The amount of protein in rice is enough to help regenerate cells and create nutrients for the body.

Drink the amount of water per day as needed. Even though you walk in the hot sun, you have a thick layer of clothing covering you so the amount of water lost through your skin is not much and your body temperature is stable. The parts of the body that "suffer" the most are the scalp and the skin of the feet. As we can see, the skin on the feet has become hard and has almost lost feeling because the keratin cells in the feet have died and lost sensory nerves. The body has the ability to gradually adapt to harsh environments.

Walking helps promote blood circulation, muscle contraction, and supports the heart muscle, so the heart rate will be very slow. At the same time, walking in the sun helps increase vitamin D, preventing osteoporosis. Mr. Minh Tue's lower front teeth were damaged, his upper front teeth grew long because they were not hindered by the lower jaw.
