Ten
Rules Regarding Food
Author:
indika
(1) Always
be mindful of the
wholesomeness of food
combinations:
Even alkali-genic and
nutritious foods, when
taken without regard to
the rules of food
combinations, can
generate toxins in the
body.
(2) If you are not
hungry, don't eat:
No other animals, except
man, would eat without
hunger-the main reason
why they are not subject
to the ailments which man
invites by overburdening
the digestion. When
really hungry, we relish
even the most insipid and
unappetising foods.

(3)
Do not eat when you are under
physical or mental tension:
If the body or the mind is
exhausted or under tension, the
secretion of the digestive juices
will not be adequate.
(4) Do not eat or drink anything
that is too hot or too cold:
Ideally the temperature of any
food should be around 37 C (98.6
F), the temperature of the body.
The enzymes in the mouth and the
stomach act best at such
temperatures.
(5) Chew your food well:
Thorough chewing mixes saliva
with the food. Digestion starts
off in the mouth itself with the
action of the enzymes present in
the saliva. Moreover, well-chewed
food is easily digested.
(6) Do not drink water with
meals:
Water requires only ten minutes
to be absorbed from the stomach,
and in the process it carries the
enzymes away. This reduces the
efficiency of the digestive
process, which may result in the
loss of appetite. There is no
objection to drinking water
fifteen minutes before a meal,
half an hour after taking fruits,
and two hours after a full meal.
(7) Do not stuff
the belly with food:
Overeating is always
harmful. The stomach is a
flexible bag made up of
muscles. Its rhythmic
contractions and
expansions are
responsible for the
efficient mixing of
digestive juices and
enzymes with food. These
movements are hindered if
the bag is stuffed up
with excessive food. The
enzymes are not mixed
properly with the food,
which begins to decay.
Most people fail to
exercise discretion in
the amount of food they
take. They: seem to live
for eating, and not to
eat for living!
Overeating makes one
lethargic and dull. There
is a constant feeling of
thirst. With time the
belly gets enlarged, and
one falls victim to
disorders of the
digestive system. In
fact, to keep healthy it
is necessary at all times
to remain slightly
hungry. |

Rest for a while after
meals:
The blood vessels of the
stomach dilate just after
meals. This stimulates
the secretion of enzymes,
and thus helps digestion.
If work requiring any
kind of physical or
mental exertion is taken
up just after a meal,
blood will be diverted
from the stomach to other
parts of the body like
the hand, feet or brain,
slowing down digestion.
(9) Do not take any food
while suffering from
fever or any other
ailment:
This is essential. It is
a fact that we never do
feel hungry when we are
indisposed, and actually
feel averse to taking any
food. During an illness,
the secretion of
digestive juices is
greatly reduced. As a
result, the digestive
processes are almost at a
standstill.
(10) Eat only one meal,
or take only fruits, one
day every week:
Giving occasional rest to
the stomach is as
necessary as giving it
its usual assignment of
digestion, for
maintaining its
efficiency. Moreover,
when the body is not
occupied in the task of
digestion, it is free to
tackle the poisons that
have been accumulated in
it.About
