Eat at least four hours before going to bed. Going
to sleep right after eating retards digestion. Many organs
comes together, even the brain, to make digestion possible.

Do not eat hot or cold food
The digestive temperature is 104 degrees. Cold
drinks and food will retard digesting causing the food to rot.
Very often hot food are not chewed properly. Food are
swallowed in chunks. In addition, hot foods prevent
digestion until the digestive temperature is reached.
Proper Combination
We can eat the best of foods. Fresh fruits and
vegetable, but if they are not combined properly they are more
injurious than good. Click on food combining for more

Don't drink and eat
Drink 1/2 hour before or 2 hours after. Liquid
taken with food will dilute our digestive acids (hydrochloride)
and enzymes (pepsin and alkaline). This will prevent
digestion completely robbing our body of almost all nutritional
gain. Soon the undigested food is past into the small
intestine.
Eating between meals
The digestive process is most strenuous work the body
will ever do. The body require more energy to digest our
foods than construction workers needs to build a house.
Maximize your energy by giving your body time to rest.
Some people are always tired. One, because they eat
between meals and poor combination.
Eat a salad
before meal
Fresh foods have a lot of digestive enzymes. The body
excretes digestive enzymes, but food enzymes, found in fresh,
uncooked foods, facilitates and promotes digestion.
