Pork Out If You’re An Athlete!
A young man came in to see me about an inflammatory problem in the urinary tract and as we reviewed his bowel symptoms it was apparent that he had inflammatory symptoms there as well
As is often the case inflammation mirrors one another in the two channels since the elimination of the imbalances in the GI tract often takes place through the urinary system
"When I was playing ball in college, I never seemed to have problems I could eat anything,'' he related "But now in the last couple of years since graduation, it seems that I'm beginnning to have all these symptoms"
"When you're exercising a great deal, the digestive fire becomes ramped up and so you can get away with a lot of foods that would otherwise cause imbalance," I explained
"Now the digestive fire is less and you begin to experience all the imbalances that were cleared by your strong digestion earlier."
Digestive Fire and Taking Care of Business
When the enzyme system in the gut is strong it can literally deal with poisons just like a campfire with wet logs
The important thing here is that we will always be challenging our GI tract with imbalancing choices and the way to remain healthy is to make better choices and ensure that our GI system is optimal with respect to its power
How to keep the digestive fire healthy? Here are some suggestions
Regular exercise
Occasional juice fast
Eating according to nutritional format for mindbody makeup
Avoid poor food combinations
Avoid ice with water
Biggest meal at noon
Use of a churan with meals and cooking
Until tomorrow To health as a Skill Love DrBill
