Eating Foods that are Hard to Digest
Even if
we are not sick and look healthy, we may not be getting enough adequate
nutrition. We can improve our state of health by simply
knowing
what nutrition we need. Nutrition is about what the food is all about,
the amount we need, its function, and the basic materials we need for
our body in order for it to continue on with its daily
activities. By knowing how to take care of our body through
nutrition, we can maintain its high performance levels instead of being
unable to because of the low levels.
When we eat meals, it is
important to understand that we should not mix raw food with cooked
food, as this will produce acid in the stomach. This acid does not mix
well with the raw food and will create indigestion. Another thing to
think about is when eating raw fruits and vegetables, we should try to
stay with organic foods due to the amount of pesticides that are
usually on the non-organic foods.
Foods in different
categories that are mixed together can cause an imbalance in the body.
For example: when we eat a meal high in both fats and simple
carbohydrates, we become tired and exhausted while we develop muddled
thinking. The reason is our tissue is not receiving enough
oxygen. Carbohydrates are simple and complex: simple
carbohydrates should be totally eliminated while complex ones are very
beneficial for us. Fresh fruits and vegetables produce elimination
while vitamin D milk and cheese counter it. When we send mixed messages
to our body because of our lack of knowledge about its nutrition, it
causes disorder and disease.
When we go for periods of time
in-between meals, the body becomes very active and more alert when food
is not consumed. It is believed that three hours or more is
adequate between meals before another meal should be eaten...
