Dr. Kang’s Food Intervention Program
Food as Medicine
With over 40 years of clinical and research experience, Dr. Jing Xuan Kang has pioneered the science of nutrition as a pathway to healing. His work bridges advanced medical research with practical dietary strategies, showing how food can reduce inflammation, rebalance the body, and extend longevity. Backed by decades of groundbreaking research, Dr. Kang has dedicated his life to proving that food is more than nourishment: it is medicine. These are only a few of his accomplishments:
- Former Harvard Medical School professor and director at Massachusetts General Hospital
- President of the International Society for Omega-3 Research (ISOR)
- Published 230+ scientific papers with 26,000+ citations
- Author of The Wisdom of Healthy Eating and founder of the Omega-3 and Global Health Institute
- Recognized internationally for breakthroughs in omega-3 research, inflammation reversal, and cancer rehabilitation.
Core Concepts
Dr. Kang’s program focuses on correcting nutritional imbalances that drive modern chronic disease:
1. Omega-3 vs. Omega-6 Balance
- Modern diets are overloaded with pro-inflammatory omega-6 fats.
- Increasing omega-3s restores anti-inflammatory protection, improving cardiovascular, brain, and metabolic health.
2. Inflammation Reversal
- Chronic low-grade inflammation is the hidden root of cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and heart disease.
- The right foods act as natural anti-inflammatories, calming the body’s immune response.
3. Longevity Diet
- Applying the principle of “qing shui yu” – light meals of vegetables (qing), fruits (shui), and fish (yu).
- Combined with dietary fiber and antioxidants, this promotes balance, resilience, and graceful aging.
Dr. Kang’s research shows that most chronic diseases share three root causes:
- Chronic inflammation (the “silent fire” in the body)
- Abnormal lipid metabolism (excessive fat synthesis)
- Gastrointestinal microbiota imbalance
Modern agriculture, processed foods, and high omega-6 vegetable oils have tilted our diets away from balance, leading to what he calls the “tri-deficit and tri-excess”: a deficit of omega-3s, dietary fiber, and antioxidants, paired with an excess of omega-6s, sugar, and oxidants.
His Food Intervention Program provides a practical solution:
- Three daily meals designed scientifically to correct these imbalances
- Increase intake of omega-3s, antioxidants, and dietary fiber
- Reduce intake of omega-6 oils, processed sugars, and oxidants
- Support through lectures, supplements, and mindfulness practices
The result: improved cellular repair, reduced inflammation, stronger immunity, and a body aligned with its natural genetic potential for longevity.
