Guidelines for Healthy Digestion
From David Rowland’s “Digestion: Inner Pathway to Health”
Timing
- Eat only when hungry.
- Have the largest meal in the middle of the day.
- Rest at least 10 minutes before and 20 minutes after each meal.
- Spend at least 30 minutes eating each meal.
- Consume nothing after 8 pm.
Mood
- Do not eat when angry, anxious, upset or overtired.
- Begin each meal quietly, with a silent pause or saying grace.
- Eat with congenial company in pleasant conversation, or eat alone in contemplative silence or with pleasant music. Avoid reading, watching TV or arguing while eating.
Awareness
- Eat slowly, chewing food thoroughly.
- Take time to enjoy the tastes, textures and aromas of the food.
- Imagine the food being transformed into your bodily cells.
- Swallow only when each mouthful has turned to paste.
- Eat only enough to feel good. Never stuff yourself.
Food Selection
- Drink two litres of purified water daily.
- Consume large amounts of dietary fibre (unrefined plant foods).
- Avoid processed foods, refined sugars and flours.
- Consume alcohol and caffeine sparingly, if at all.
- Suspect allergy/intolerance to any food to which one has addictive cravings or to any that produces excess mucous or gastrointestinal distress of any kind.
- Observe your body’s reactions to lactose, gluten and wheat.
Food Combining
- Do not combine sugars with proteins or fats at the same meal.
- Have fruits/juices 30 minutes before or three hours after meals.
- Sip water when mouth is empty or at the end of a meal.
