GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR HEALTHY EATING

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How you eat your food is even more important than what you eat. Even foods,

which normally cause greater imbalance, will be digested reasonable well if

the proper rules are followed. Likewise, if you eat the correct foods in

the wrong way, your digestion will be compromised and gas, indigestion and

the formation of toxins will follow. If you follow these food habits and

choose the correct foods then your digestion will be maximized and you will

experience optimal digestion.

 

 

 

1. Chew your food until it is an even consistency before swallowing.

 

 

 

2. Do not eat while being distracted by television, excessive

conversation or reading. Keep the mind present and pay full attention.

 

 

 

3. Do not drink cold drinks just prior to or while eating. This weakens

digestion.

 

 

 

4. Do not drink large quantities of liquid during meals. This also

weakens the digestive fire.

 

 

 

5. During meals it is best to sip only a little water or wine.

 

 

 

6. Eat only food prepared by loving hands in a loving way.

 

This increases the vitality giving quality of the food.

 

 

 

7. Make eating a sacred ritual. Take a moment to relax and say grace.

 

This makes the body receptive to your food.

 

 

 

8. Following your meal take a moment to let your food digest before

going on to the next activity. A short walk is recommended.

 

 

 

9. Eat at a moderate pace until you are ¾ full.

 

 

 

10. Allow 3 hours between meals to allow your food to digest.

 

 

 

11. It is best to eat your largest meal at noon when digestion is the

strongest.

 

 

 

12. No sweets after your meals. This stops digestion!
