Eating For Good Digestion
To maintain a good digestive system we should see that:
1) The food is cooked thoroughly and eaten warm/hot.
2) The use of whole wheat and rice is adequate.
3) Reduce or avoid use of refined flour and polished rice.
4) Consumption of fried foods should be reduced.
5) Enough buttermilk and curd should be included in the diet.
6) Enough vegetables, raw and cooked and seasonal fruits should be taken.
7) The food should be thoroughly chewed.
8) A period of 5 to 7 hours must be kept between two meals.
9) Any eating or drinking liquids except water or buttermilk between meals should be strictly controlled.
10) The stomach is also a machine and so it should be given rest of at least one or two meals a week. At that time, only fruits or fruit juices or boiled water may be taken.
To be full is one of the best privileges in life, but one must be careful to know when one's body signals as well. It's acceptable to eat anything you like once in a while, but be careful when you start to belch, since it is your body's way of saying it is full. You should stop eating by then - almost like a yellow light, warning you to stop, since a red light is ahead. If you continue eating even after the second signal, you are going to cause problems. As you eat, you should modify your diet and eat according to what the season brings.
Please remember the "fire" in the stomach should be kept going and should remain capable of digesting the food you eat. A liberal use of ginger, pepper, eatables of bitter taste, Sunbath, regular exercise will help keep this fire. On the other hand, cold water, cold drinks, ice cream will reduce the fire and increase the burden on the digestive system. Please note that Heat is Life while Cold is Death, so modify your diet according to these principles.
Sprouts: This may be taken by all people uncooked, but they can also be enjoyed with sesame, groundnut, raw, cabbage, dates, dried grapes or a little sugar. Sprouts are also very good for reducing weight. In that scenario, the use of dates, dried grapes or sugar should be avoided.
A test of proper digestive power and proper eating: After the meals, you should feel energetic, light and capable of exercise. If you feel heavy, sleepy or dull, it indicates overeating, eating too quick, or a weak digestive system.
