15 Methods to Enhance Digestive Fire
Digestive fire is a collective term for all the enzyme and bacterial systems in the gut from the stomach to the rectum When we have a good digestive fire we can burn through past mistakes and current ones that we make when we eat foods that aren't balancing for us or poor food combinations
Over the years of doing these mistakes without rectifying for them, the accumulated imbalance in the GI tract begins to make us sick Hence preserving or making the digestive fire healthy is of prime importance Here are some tips as to how you can make your fire robust and best for optimal health
1 Biggest Meal at midday
2 Only eat when appetite is ready for the experience of food
3 No snacks between meals
4 All beverages at room temperature Ice is not nice
5 Tongue scraping stimulates digestive fire
6 Do at least one meal every 2 to 3 days in silence
7 Try to not eat when emotionally upset or bored
8 Try not to eat large meals late at night
9 Drink milk separate from meals
10 Use a rice bowl or similar measuring device for measuring 2 handfuls (how much should eat at any one meal)
11 Juice fast according to VPK protocol
12 Try to always sit to eat
13 Exercise regularly

15 Don't chew gum This may sound strange but if saliva is continually sent to the stomach with mastication movements of the mouth, the body thinks that eating is occurring This false signal makes the body feel that it's eating all the time and essentially causes deterioration of agni(digestive fire)
Do these tips on a regular basis and see for yourself how you feel after meals
