This Generation Need To Relearn - How To Eat
We all know about our heart that it is the size of our fist and it is located inside our chest towards the left side. We all know about our lungs that they are inside our ribs provide oxygen to the body and throw out carbon dioxide and smoking can harm them. Fine, good enough. Now, what do we know about our stomach? Do we know the size or location of our stomach? What did it do for us? What can harm it? Surprisingly it is as important an organ as our lungs or heart but not many of us seem to know much about our stomachs. Have we ever wondered why we pay so little attention to our stomach β Is it because it never attack us like a heart attack? I think we care so little about our digestive system because any amount of abuse to it does not lead to our death.

If you eat at late night time when there are hardly any digestive juices been secreted when stomach has a minimum power of digestion, when there is no prana (life force) in the stomach and when a mind is distracted (because of stress or because of our darling TV) how you can expect a food to get digested properly? Should not you just learn to eat right and at right time? Please do not wait for the right time as βNowβ is the best time to start. Read the full article
