I also wonder how glucose is related to this topic of nurturing, as it is said that glucose is a fundamental source of energy in the organism. Glucose is a result of photosynthesis (a synthesis between atoms and sunlight, or in other words between yin and yang). I think it is a key question here, as body strongly seems to rely on glucose.
Can we decrease amount of glucose needed for the body? Replace it with the direct light and qi / prana nourishment (instead of indirect photosynthesis process with combination of oxygen)?
It is interesting to note what traditional chinese medicine (TCM) says here, combining the pancreas with Earth element and sweet taste (glucose is referenced to this taste). Its role, along with stomach and spleen, is in TCM more important than the western medicine suggests, stating mainly about insulin involved in the digestion process. Glucose is also said to be a main fuel to brain (brain is related to Air element, and oxygen atoms plays a big role in the processing glucose; brain is absent in TCM medical theory). However, spleen is referenced in TCM as a source of thoughts. Of course this means that oxygen, photosynthesis, and the Earth-related organs are directly related to brain, the nervous system and mental functions of the body. Glucose as a quality (not just molecules as presented by science) with its relation to the sunlight and oxygen seems to maintain the most important functions of the design which human body is.
