In China, dietetics has been in all past millenniums regarded as an integral part of medicine. The basis of this medicine is to maintain health rather than treating only the symptoms of disease. Result: life expectancy in China is very close to that of the West and for a cost 40 times cheaper!
Do you know that once we consulted the doctor, a civil servant, outside any symptoms simply to be maintained in good health? Imagine that this officer was paid on the number of well-bearing. His salary fell over cases of disease that occur ... Of course, to fully carry out its task, it gave important advice on nutrition, doing massages, prescribed exercises to Qi Gong or remedies herbal even, it puncturait.
The traditional Chinese medicine sees human beings as a whole, as a "floor" of macrocosm subject to the rules of expansion, refocusing and cycles. The foods are an integral part of this whole cosmic! A vegetable is seen not for its calories but for what its flavor and its energy will develop in the body of this or that individual who, as is yin or yang, will use its potential differently.

The concept of food sovereignty implies the active participation of citizens in a context where the cultivable land is scarce. Thus, terraces and balconies can be a feasible alternative. However, gardens on roofs require the implementation of technologies that are complex. This has led researchers to focus on new processes that allow growth to grow abundant vegetation cheaply.
Despite the presence of Mont-Royal and the St. Lawrence River, Montreal remains a city concrete which generates a very high proportion of urban heat islands, especially downtown. Unlike the cities of Toronto or Portland (the USA), our city still did not have a real political struggle against the islands of heat. Several speakers, with the front row organizations such as Alternatives, just trying to use the roofs of several public buildings in order to carry out innovative experiments.
Experiments innovative
Already, some public places were used to conduct experiments on greening surfaces built downtown. However, the technology of green roofs lends itself better to concrete structures. That is why the wooden structures of small residential buildings should be strengthened to be able to host this type of infrastructure.
