Acid Indigestion and Being Overweight
Ever wondered why some get heartburn and others don't? The energy science nutritional model can help our understanding
The answer is oftentimes mucous The stomach has enough mucous to protect itself from too much acidity prodcuced
Which ones of us will produce such protective mucous? Those of strong Kapha constitution that have a predisposition to create mucous in the first place
The mucous is not often produced out of protection as much it is created due to the Kapha imbalance in the first place The Kapha imbalance leads to a number of symptoms such as obesity, increased mucous in sinuses, upper airways, and stomach
Which leads to the relationship of being overweight and acid indigestion At times people with strong Kapha constitutions have minor symptoms of heartburn but don't take anything for it due to the excess mucous in the stomach At other times the acidity is so strong that medication is necessary
Appetite, Obesity, and Taste
But it is this relationship of acid indigestion with appetite that can drive the overweight condition
An increased appetite may be associated with such a hot stomach that is not easily satiated such that overeating becomes a distinct possibility
So there we have it An overweight condition can be significantly worsened by excess acidity due to its effect on appetite
What provokes this acidity? The sour and salty tastes so Kapha should stay away from these tastes or simply follow the nutritional formats laid out at foodsheal.com
We cannot understand this facet of obesity from our matter science nutritional model
