GOOD HABITS THAT IMPROVE THE DIGESTION

GOOD HABITS THAT IMPROVE THE DIGESTION 

1. MEALS SHOULD BE EATEN IN THE RIGHT ORDER: Breakfast, the first meal should be the most important; Lunch should be less important, and supper, if eaten should be light.

2. HOW MUCH TIME BETWEEN MEALS: "After disposing of one meal, the digestive organs need rest. At least five or six hours should intervene between meals...."



3. TAKE TIME TO EAT: Eating too quickly takes away vital power and slows down the digestion. Remember to chew thoroughly.

4. DON'T OVEREAT!: Exercise temperance and moderation even when eating healthful foods. Don't let you appetite guide you. Overloading the stomach disturbs its smooth function. Overeating can also cause you to gain weight. Remember: eat to live, not live to eat.




5. REGULARITY AND SNACKS: Irregular and frequent demands on the digestive organs, interrupts their function, uses up vital energy, and destroys the normal healthy appetite. "After the regular meal is eaten, the stomach should be allowed to rest.... Not a particle of food should be introduced into the stomach till the next meal. In this interval, the stomach will preform its work, and will then be in a condition to receive more food."
