How To Give Your Stomach a Rest
The
stomach works hour after hour, day after day, to digest
food. Including way too much of the toxic junk we eat.
Although the stomach does an awesome job in trying to
process this deluge, the strain we place upon it is
often too great. The end result is lethargy, fatigue
and sometime even serious disease.
Without doubt one of the most overlooked reasons why
so many people today suffer from fatigue is their eating
habits. They may have no desire or appetite for food,
but the "clock" dictates when it's time to
eat, so they eat.
People
have been brainwashed into believing they have to eat
three or four large meals each day, whether their body
actually needs the food or not. Do animals look at a
clock to govern their eating habit? Certainly not. They
eat when they are hungry and hence reap the benefit
of living long and healthy lives.
The
stomach needs time to digest rest and then prepare digestive
juices for the next intake of food. Then, and only then,
will the stomach do an efficient job of digestion the
body be able to reap the benefits.
Natures
has evolved a simple and fail safe system for the intake
of food, however most of us rarely pay attention. The
stomach, when ready, will send out hunger pangs that
in turn will increase the activity of the saliva glands.
This process is vital for the correct digestion of food.
Sadly,
the stomach has become the main victim of food addiction
because it works in a state of constant overload. It
cannot cope with all the undigested food that soon starts
to ferment and putrefy. Is it any wonder that the brain
becomes fogged and energy levels are depleted...or that
the breath begins to smell bad? As toxic sludge permeates
throughout the body, unpleasant odors are often quite
common.
With
the proliferation of junk food the stomach's woes have
increased tenfold. It now has to deal with chemicals,
some highly toxic, which it was not designed to do.
All this extra work takes time, something most individuals
are unwilling to give.
Finally,
always remember that digestion is a dual process. The
first process takes place in your mouth through chewing,
which prepares the food for final digestion. The final
process of digestion is completed in your stomach.
Be
honest with yourself and decide if food has become an
addiction. If it has, remember that you are dealing
with a habit and habits are difficult to break. Your
body may start to send out all sorts of weird signals
when your eating habit improve, but don't give in. Stay
the course and say hello to a new you.
Eat
to live, don't live to eat. The results will astound
you.
