Re: Proper Digestion - A Necessary Ingredient for Good Health

[Guest guest]

Wow, my goodness, I had NO idea, I think you explained me pretty much

in the eating poorly part of the digestion. No worries, dear Alice

towards you, all I have is love and admiration for your caring of how

we here feel both physically and mentally. Boy, I knew there was a

huge connection between what we eat and how we feel, now I see it is

also the time, how we eat, how much...I must really watch myself, I

am a late night snacker, I admit it, I eat pop-tarts late at night

when I am writing to you all, hehe *thinks me might get a better

idea and write earlier in the evening, wow! lol* Thank you again,

for your always healthy information. I am honestly, if you will

pardon my way of saying this, the poster child for bad eating

habits....This will teach me! * warm smile and wink* Namaste, LUNA

(late at night, etc.) * eating too fast * eating when upset * eating

poor food combinations * inattention to act of eating (watching TV,

etc while eating) * drinking iced drinks * drinking excessive liquids

> When you have good digestion, the enzymes and acids in your stomach

and intestines do a thorough job of breaking down and metabolizing

the foods you eat so that they can provide proper nourishment for

your cells and tissues to function and replenish themselves. This

also destroys harmful bacteria, microorganisms, and toxins in your

digestive tract.
