How to Cultivate Great Digestion Like a Teenager
"I can eat anything and as much as I want NO problem!"
We may have heard friends when we were young relate that they had the proverbial "cast iron stomach"
But Wait!
Our friend, we should say, COULD eat anything but as the years go by the "cast iron stomach" melts
There occurs days of reckoning where what once was strong digestion is no longer the case
Nature catches up eventually and the good ole days are of the past The mindbody and its digestion can no longer handle the abuse
Cast Iron Redefined
What happened? How does the mindbody capitulate to what's being done to it?
We won't find the answer from the current matter science medical model since its concept of digestion is molecular
But the energy science medical model has a lot to say about digestion since it is the key to optimal health
"What?" From an energy science view how we chose and handle our external environment(foods) is predictive of our health Makes sense, doesn't it? If we ingest foods or experiences that don't bring about balance and disrupts digestion(chocolate or divorce or a debilitating relationship), then eventually our mindbody system becomes weaker and our health suffers
The Key to Optimal Health
Sooo...my friends our friend back in our teenage years was indeed able to devour anything and not be affected
Why? His digestive fire was "over the top" with so much power that the furnace would burn any and everything
But as with any gift if abused and not nourished it becomes less appreciated and goes away Hence it is with our digestion and its power
Like a campfire the digestive power with so many wet logs eventually weaken the gift which then labors and struggles
Signs of Strong Digestion
There are cues that can tell us whether our digestive power is good
Appetite is strong and balanced
No bloating, gas after eating
No acid indigestion
Stool pattern is regular and daily
