Sweetness and Acid Indigestion
If we're really hungry, so hungry that we'll just about eat anything, there is nothing better than the sweet taste Reach for the Snickers or any refined sugar and whew! relief
Some of us may not have experienced this kind of appetite but I bring this up because from an energy science nutritional view it shows how the qualities of hot and cold work
Hot and Hungry
The appetite carries the hot quality When we get hungry from an energy science view our GI tract is hot and ready for the experience of food and the mindbody says, "Feed me, feed me!"
If the mindbody and the GI tract is more in balance, there is not this raging appetite that can't wait but when the Pitta energy pattern is out of balance, the hot appetite is the result
This qualitative or energetic expression of appetite can be quite helpful for some when confronted with trying to curb appetite that gets out of control and results in overeating
The Cold of Sweetness
As I said earlier our ally to this hot quality is the vibrational frequency pattern of sweet
This is because this pattern has the cold quality This counteracts the hot and calms the mindbody physiology
The sweet taste is found in dairy, lean meats, grains, and unrefined sugars such as turbinado and sucanat
Foods as Medications
When the excess hot quality becomes over the top in the GI tract symptoms such as diarrhea, hemmorrhoids, and acid indigestion with gastroesophageal reflux can occur
A recent study from a gastroenterology unit in France recently reported that surgery and pills were equally effective in dealing with gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)
That's a nice observation but my question is, "What about staying away from the hot quality carried by foods that have the sour and salty tastes and continually provoke the stomach in the first place?"
Misled By an Incomplete Biological Model
If we continue believing that we are a collection of molecules then we will come up with such studies that deliver mechanical or pharma solutions for our problems
But if we entertan a more complete way of seeing ourselves as energy fields as well, then we can consider the above solution to GERD, namely staying away from the complex energy patterns of sour and salty
What To Do?
We can go a long way toward creating a healthier GI tract by choosing foods that bring us balance
Whether we experience GERD really doesn't matter The challenge for all of us as we move through life is to cultivate balance
And the primary way to do that or turn things around is to choose foods that are supportive of our mindbody makeups by going to foodsheal.com
