HOW TO DIGEST THE FOOD WELL?
Now we are going to see how to eat the food so that all the ingredients in the food can mix in the blood as good quality ingredients.
1. WE SHOULD EAT ONLY WHEN WE ARE HUNGRY
Without anything such as “Eat this.” “Eat that.” etc, just by following one small guideline we can get the food digested properly. This guideline is that we have to eat only when we are hungry.
What is hunger? Hunger is nothing but the signal to us from our body that all the parts in our body are ready for digesting the food properly and mix it with the blood.
All the food that we eat without feeling hungry become waste or poison. One very important secret in our treatment is that we should eat only when we feel hungry. People say that no disease will come if you take food as per a time schedule. This is wrong. Whoever eats food in a timely manner, they all will get diseases. Eating when you are hungry is totally different from eating timely food.
For example, let us say that you take food at 10.00 AM in the morning. You did not do any work after that. Let us assume that you did not give any appreciable work to your body. Now we see that the clock shows 2.00 PM. What do we think? We think, “It is 2.00 PM. Let us take lunch.” But did we think whether we feel hungry? No. If you see the time and eat lunch at 2.00 PM when even the breakfast that you ate in the morning is not yet digested and mixed in the blood, you will get diseases. So, the food in the stomach also will not be digested. The food now you take also will not be digested. So, the first reason for all the diseases in the world is eating without feeling hungry.
Let us see another example. You eat your breakfast at 10.00 AM in the morning. Then you work hard. You feel hungry at 12.00 noon. What will happen if you wait without taking food saying, “I will not eat now. I will eat food as per time schedule. I will eat only at 2.00 PM”? The hydrochloric acid in the stomach will be secreted by 12.00 noon when you feel hungry. Since this acid does not get any food till 2.00 PM, it will be diluted.
So, the food which you eat two hours after you get hunger will not be digested properly. So, what we have to understand from this is that, if you eat timely food you will get diseases and if you eat food when you are hungry you will not get diseases and the diseases that have come already will be cured.
Who has invented the law that everyone should eat thrice daily? Some people may do more physical work. They can eat even five times a day. Some people will do less physical work, It may be sufficient if they eat twice a day. So, from now on, please do not see the clock for eating. We have to keep on doing our work. Only when our body creates the feeling of hunger in us, we have to think about taking food and only then we have to eat food.
The great sage Thiruvalluvar says in the immortal Tamil epic Thirukkural, “The body does not need medicine for any disease. After the food that we eat is digested, we need to eat food when we feel hungry again. If we follow this, then our body will not need any medicine at all for any disease.”
Therefore, one important principle in our treatment is that we have to eat only after we feel hungry. If you do not follow this principle and follow all other principles that we are going to explain after this, then you may not get the best results.
When we eat thrice daily, we eat 90 times in a month. It may not be possible for all of us to eat after feeling hungry for all these 90 times. Therefore, to start with, we can practice eating after feeling hungry for at least 10 times in a month. Then we can increase it to 20, 30 and so on.
Some of us may work in a company. We may be required to eat lunch between 1.00 PM and 2.00 PM and return to work at 2.00 PM. What to do if we do not feel hungry during that time? In this way, there may be a necessity to eat food without feeling hungry sometimes.
During such times, we can follow the many techniques that we are going to explain shortly. By doing so, we can save ourselves from having our food being converted into waste and poison. Nevertheless, it is always good to wait for hunger when we are at our home and also wherever we can. So, please eat your food only after you feel hungry.
2. SALIVA SHOULD MIX WITH THE FOOD AND EAT WITH LIPS CLOSED
When we eat food, we should mix it with saliva and eat. Only the food that mixes with the saliva goes to the blood as good food. The food which does not mix with saliva goes to the blood as bad food. Our saliva contains a lot of enzymes. These enzymes help very much in separating the constituents from the food. Only the food that has been digested by the saliva in the mouth can be digested by the stomach. When the food that has not been digested by the saliva goes into the stomach, it becomes bad food and waste matter.
All of us will say, “We do mix saliva with food when we eat.”But this is not true. Whoever eats food with their lips open when they chew the food, for these people saliva will not mix with the food. When we chew the food, the lips should be closed. Only then the saliva will mix with the food. What is the difference between keeping the lips open and keeping them closed when we chew the food?
Imagine the food as a ball, and saliva as another ball. When we eat with the lips open, the air goes inside the mouth, stands between the saliva and the food and does not allow them to mix. Thus, it prevents proper digestion in the mouth. Therefore, air is the enemy to the digestion in the mouth. Therefore, from now on whenever you eat any food, please open your lips only for sending the food inside the mouth. Once the food is inside the mouth, keep chewing the food without separating the lips till you swallow the food.
In countries such as USA, UK, Italy, etc. the prevalence of sugar disease is very less. This is because the people of these countries have the habit of chewing the food with their lips closed.
When you see foreigners who come to your town, you will observe that they chew their food keeping their lips closed. Because the people in India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, etc. eat keeping their lips open, the sugar disease is more prevalent in these countries.
Immediately do not wrongly conclude that the people of some countries are intelligent and the people of some other countries are foolish. People in some countries consume more medicines for mental illnesses. Many people in countries having the habit of eating with their lips closed are affected by mental illnesses and consume medicines for these diseases.
So in some countries body is not all right but mind is all right. In some other countries, mind is not all right but body is all right. So, the business is running fine for the drug manufacturing companies in all the countries. Therefore, from now onwards, please chew every mouthful of food keeping your lips closed.
You may think that it will take more time to eat if you chew with your lips closed. In fact it will take less time. You can keep a piece of Chapati in your mouth and chew 40 times keeping your lips open. The Chapati will not become a paste and it will remain as Chapati only. But, if you chew four times keeping your lips closed, the Chapati will become totally mashed into a paste. Without any need to swallow it, it will just slide into your throat.
You can eat within a short time by closing the lips instead of opening the lips while chewing. Saliva will be very happy when we chew with our lips closed. Because the enemy called air is not there, saliva quickly separates all the constituents of the food and digests the food properly.
There may be a small complication when we eat like this. The chin will pain for about a week. This is because we start a new habit which was not there for several decades. But, after a week, there will be no pain and we can be peaceful throughout our life.
So, the second most important principle in our treatment is that whatever may be the food that we may eat, after putting the food inside the mouth, till we swallow the food we should not separate the lips.
3. WHEN WE EAT, OUR ATTENTION SHOULD BE ON THE FOOD
When we eat, we should concentrate our attention on the food. While eating, if we keep thinking that we are eating and focus on eating, the food will be digested well. While eating if we keep our attention on family, business or any other such matter, the food will not be digested properly.
We may think, ‘We are giving work to our brain. Digestion is happening only in the stomach. How can it be affected?” Our brain is connected to all our body parts and glands, through a nerve called Vagus. Whatever we think about, this Vagus nerve will make the gland concerned with that thought to secrete.
For example, what do we do when we want to pass urine? Which button is to be pressed in our body for passing urine? There is no button for this. Once we think in our mind that we want to pass urine, the urine comes out, doesn’t it? So, if our mind thinks, it can open the doors of the urinary bladder. Similarly when our mind thinks, it can close those doors.
The secret that we have to understand from this is that our mind, when it thinks, can operate our body parts. A disease first comes only in the mind. Then it is the mind which creates the disease in the body parts. Similarly, if our mind has the thought that we are healthy, only then the disease in the body parts will be cured.
For example, we may see a dream in our sleep. In the dream we may see that a snake is chasing us. We run fast in our dream. Suddenly, the dream stops and we sit up and see. Then our heart will be palpitating fast. Our body will be sweating a lot. We ran only in our dream. Then why did we sweat? Why does our heart palpitate fast? This is because, in our dream when our mind thinks that we are running, our body initiates its strength to run.
Then, the concerned glands are activated. What we understand from these two examples is that whatever our mind thinks about, the concerned glands in our body secrete. Therefore, when we eat our food, only if our focus and attention are on the thought that we are eating, all the glands concerned to digestion will secrete well. Instead, if we think about family, business, children, wife etc. while eating food, the digestive glands do not secrete and we get diseases. Therefore, please concentrate your attention on the food while eating the food.
Some people went to a wise man and asked, “What is the reason for all the diseases in the world?” The wise man said, “People do not eat when they eat.” They did not understand and asked the same question again. The wise man replied, “All the diseases will be cured if we eat while eating.” “What is the meaning of this statement? What is eating while eating? When we eat we have to keep our attention on eating. Those who focus on eating while eating do not get any diseases.”
So, while eating if we give respect to the food, thank the God and the nature for giving the food and say a small prayer that we know and then eat, the diseases will be cured. Instead, if we give respect only to the doctor, the diseases will become bigger.
While eating, take the food in your hand and eat it with the thought that this food is going to go inside our stomach, get digested and converted into blood, become food for all the body parts and function as medicine for all diseases. Then we can have a healthy life. So, the golden rule is,
“NEVER EAT ANYTHING WITHOUT HUNGER.
WHILE EATING, NEVER THINK OF ANYTHING EXCEPT FOOD.”
4. WE HAVE TO EAT THE FOOD BY GRINDING IT INTO A PASTE USING OUR TEETH
When we eat, we should grind it well using our teeth and then eat. Whoever swallows their food as it is without breaking and grinding the food with their teeth, their stomach will ask them one question, “Do I have any teeth to grind the food? Or do I have any mixer blades or grinder stone?” There are no teeth or mixer blades or grinder stone in the stomach. Then how does the stomach digest the food we eat?
The stomach is like a vessel. Inside it, an acid called Hydrochloric acid (HCL) is secreted. This acid is what digests the food. This acid is so powerful that, if we take this acid from our stomach and pour it on an iron, the iron will melt. If we pour it on our palm, the palm will get a hole. This powerful acid which can melt even the iron is what is generated in our stomach whenever we feel hungry.
You may get a doubt. Will this acid which can melt even the iron not harm our stomach? There will be a layer of mucus between the stomach and this acid. This mucus layer prevents the acid from touching the stomach and saves the stomach from being damaged. If we do not eat for a long time after feeling hungry, the acid that has been secreted in the stomach, without having anything to eat, will start eating away this mucus layer.
So, for those people who do not eat when they are hungry and starve their stomach regularly, after some time, this acid will keep eating the mucus layer and one fine day this iron-melting acid will touch the stomach. Once it touches the stomach, the stomach will be damaged and it will get sore. Then there will be acute pain in the stomach. This is called ulcer.
The doctors world-over say that we have to eat food time to time without fail according to the time schedule, if we want to avoid getting ulcer. But, here is the truth. Whoever eats food according to time schedule by seeing the clock, all of you will get ulcer. If you eat whenever you feel hungry, ulcer will be cured. There is a lot of difference between eating timely food and eating food when we feel hungry.
If a person is feeling hungry he has to eat food immediately. Instead, if he wants to take food only by fixed time and waits for two hours, the acid can damage his stomach in these two hours. All the doctors in the world ask you to eat food according to time schedule. Please do not take food as per time. Eat only when you are hungry.
Therefore, we should chew the food, grind it well using our teeth and then only swallow it. Generally, we do not give much work to our teeth at all. We just swallow the food in big morsels.
Let us assume that we take the food 40 times with our hand when we eat a plate of food. If we eat the food without properly chewing it during the first four times, the acid that is available in the stomach for digesting the 40 handfuls of food will be exhausted after digesting 4 handfuls of food. This is because the acid in the stomach has to do the job which is supposed to have been done by the teeth. So, the first four mouthfuls of food only become good blood. The next 36 mouthfuls of food become waste and go out as stool because there is no acid in the stomach to digest it. The only reason for pot belly and obesity is that we do not give much work to the teeth.When there is acid in the stomach, the food we eat gets digested and it does not get converted into pot belly. The food we eat after the acid in the stomach gets exhausted does not get digested and it becomes pot belly. This is the reason for obesity also.
Therefore please give work to your teeth. The more we chew the food with our teeth, make it a paste and send it into our stomach, the less will be the work for the acid in the stomach. Then, the stomach will digest the food with the least amount of acid and keep the balance of the acid for the foods coming in subsequently.
So, if all the foods that we eat such as Sambar, Rasam, butter milk, Kheer, Beeda, etc. are to be digested, then we have to bite and chew each and every mouthful of food, make it a paste and then only swallow it.
Many people go for walking exercise for reducing pot belly and obesity. After going for a walk for 4 KMs, if a person eats four eggs, then how will the body get trim? Some people try to reduce their body weight using new technologies such as vibrator machine, tying it to the stomach or standing on it.
Why should we eat when we are not hungry and then run on a vibrator? If we eat only when we feel hungry, then there will be no pot belly and there will be no obesity. Then we do not need to do these stunts. So, the easiest way to reduce obesity and pot belly is to give work to our teeth.
Measure your body weight today and note it down. Eat the food as we have suggested above. Within one month, your body weight will come down by several kilograms. You need not go for walking. There is no need to use any vibrator machine. If you are a person who eats five Chapattis for every meal, now you can eat seven Chapattis per meal and still reduce your weight.
So, it is a wrong notion to think that obesity comes due to eating more food. It is also wrong to think that body weight can be reduced by eating less food. By giving more work to our teeth, we can eat more and still reduce our body weight.
In our treatment, you can eat all the food you like to whatever extent you wish and still reduce your body weight just by giving lot of work to your teeth, chewing the food well, making it a paste and then eating it.
In our treatment, pot belly will reduce first and then body weight will reduce. Only then the disease will be cured. Therefore, please do not be afraid if you find that your weight falls when you use our treatment. To whatever extent your weight falls, it means that that much waste matter was there in your body. If your weight does not fall at all when you follow our treatment, you do not have any waste matter in your body.
When you start our treatment, initially your weight will fall slowly. Then after some particular day, the weight will remain constant for several months. Then you can understand that that is the true, healthy weight for your body. Then, your weight will keep on increasing slowly. This increase is due to the creation of healthy bones, nerves and muscles to create a healthy body. When the weight increases in this way, it will not fall again.
So, once you take a morsel of food in your hand and put it in your mouth, bite and chew it well for at least ten to fifteen times, make it into a paste, mix it with saliva and then swallow it. By doing this, you are helping your stomach. By chewing the food well you are reducing the work for your stomach and your stomach will be healthy and happy. When our stomach is happy, the diseases will be cured and we will be happy.
5. WATER IS THE ENEMY OF DIGESTION IN THE STOMACH
We should not drink water for half an hour before we start eating our food. We should not drink water in between while eating the food. We should not drink water after we finish eating the food. And, we should not drink water for at least half an hour after we finish eating the food.
Some people drink one glass of water and then start eating their food. These people will not have their food digested properly. It is because of the following reason. We have seen that the hydrochloric acid that is secreted in the stomach is what digests the food. If we drink water just before eating the food, this acid will be diluted. Once this acid is diluted, whatever good food that we may eat and however well we may eat it, it will not be digested properly.
So, after you drink water if someone calls you for eating food, you should say, “I will not come now. Just now I have drunk water and diluted the acid. So, I will come for eating the food after about half an hour.” Every time when we sit for eating food, we have to think and check whether we drank water during the last half an hour. So, the food we eat will be digested in an excellent way if we avoid drinking water for half an hour before we start taking the food.
We should not drink water in between our eating the food. The digestion will be spoiled if we do so. Those who bite and chew the food well, make it a paste, mix it with saliva and then swallow it will not feel like drinking water while eating the food.
We should not drink water after finishing the eating. Many of us drink one or two glasses of water immediately after finishing the eating. This also will spoil the digestion. So, we have to wait for about half an hour after we finish the eating and then only drink water.
So, half an hour before start of food, half an hour during eating, assuming that we take about half an hour for eating, and half an hour after finishing the food means that we should not drink water for one and a half hour in total. How can we totally avoid drinking water for one and a half hour? During this period, we may get hiccups, thirst, throat drying up, tongue drying up, food being hot and spicy, etc.
Why should we drink water when the food is hot, spicy and pungent? Our tongue tells us, “The food is hot and spicy.” That is all. Did it ask us to drink water? No. If the food is hot and spicy, then we have to find ways to reduce the hot taste and we should not drink water.
So, when the food is hot and pungent, we have to mix some coconut oil, Nallennai, etc. with the food and reduce the hot and spicy taste. If some oil goes with the food, even then digestion will be done well. But, if water goes with the food, it will spoil the digestion. Therefore, if the food is spicy, find alternative ways to reduce the taste and avoid drinking water.
What to do if we get hiccups while eating? First of all, let us see why we get hiccups while eating. A person who focuses his attention on the food while eating will not get hiccups. A nerve called Vagus connects our brain, which is our mind, and the parts of the body.
While eating, if we have only the thought about the food in our mind, then this nerve will keep all the glands concerned with digestion working well. Suddenly, if our mind starts thinking about the family, business or any other person, this nerve will get confused. There will be dilemma whether the gland concerned with digestion should secrete or the gland concerned with the emotions we are having should secrete. Hiccups occur only due to this confusion.
When people get hiccups, they say that someone is thinking about them at that time. In fact, no one is thinking about you when you have hiccups. Contrarily, you are thinking about someone and that is why you are getting the hiccups. So, as long as you keep thinking about the food while eating, you will not get hiccups.
What should we do if the tongue is dried up or if we feel thirsty? During the one and half hours, if our throat dries up or if we feel thirsty or if we get hiccups, we can drink water. But there is a limit for it. We should drink less quantity of water so that the water we drink does not reach our stomach. If our throat has dried up, then the water should just wet the throat and if our tongue is dried up, then the water we drink should just wet the tongue. That is, the water should be so less in quantity that it wets just our lips, mouth, tongue, food pipe and gullet. The water should not reach the stomach.
So, we need to understand that air is the enemy for the digestion done in the mouth and water is the enemy for the digestion done in the stomach.
Therefore, we can just wet our mouth before eating the food using one fourth glass of water so that it does not reach the stomach. While eating the food, if it is very essential that we have to drink water in the middle, then again we can drink one fourth glass of water so that it does not reach the stomach.
Many of us drink nearly one glass or one vessel of water immediately after eating the food. Please do not drink like this. Finishing the eating, it is sufficient if we drink one fourth to half glass of water just for gargling the mouth. Then please wait for half an hour. After that, we can drink liberally two glasses of water or even more and it will not cause any harm to the digestion.
So, half an hour before starting the food, during the eating and half an hour after finishing the food, avoid drinking water as far as possible. If needed, please drink very limited quantity of water.
Brahmins follow the custom of drinking a little water before and after eating the food by bringing together the index finger and the thumb of the right hand together, keeping the other three fingers stretched, pouring water in the palm and drinking the water by keeping the mouth on the wrist. This is called “Jala Pariseshanam”.
Our ancestors did not propagate any technique saying that hydrochloric acid is secreted in the stomach and we should not drink water during eating food. Instead of that, they have taught us some good habits in the name of customs. So, in case it is needed to drink water during the food, by drinking water three times in this way, we can save the acid in our stomach.
Just because we have mentioned one custom of Brahmins, please do not think that our treatment is related to the Hindu religion. This treatment is not linked to any religion. Religions and diseases have no connections. Therefore, there is no connection between treatments and religions. Let us accept good habits, irrespective of whichever culture or religion it may be found in.
So, let us understand how water is a hindrance to digestion and improve the digestion by drinking less water generally, when we go to a doctor, he will give a tablet and ask us to consume it after taking the food. While eating the food we have to concentrate on the food. But what do we actually do? While eating the food, we keep on thinking that we have to consume the tablet after eating the food and we eat the food focussing our attention on the tablet only. After eating the food, we run to drop the tablet in our mouth and drink one vessel of water. So, irrespective of whether the tablet cures our disease or not, the water we drink along with the tablet spoils the digestion and increases the diseases.
So, avoid taking tablets as far as possible. But sometimes we may be required to consume tablets. At those times, do not consume the tablet immediately after finishing the food. If you wait for half an hour, and then consume the tablet with water, then that water will not spoil the digestion.
Some people may say, “I have to consume the tablets immediately after eating the food. I cannot wait for half an hour. I may forget to consume the tablet. Is there any other way out?” In that case, you can mix the tablet with the Sambar rice and eat it. Then you may not need to drink water.
6. WE SHOULD NOT WATCH TELEVISION WHILE EATING
If we watch TV while eating, the food we eat will not be digested properly. You may ask, “Only the eyes are watching TV. Let the stomach digest the food.” When we see a thing with our eyes, that scene goes to our mind and our mind starts thinking about that matter. Then, only those glands concerned to that matter secrete, and the glands concerned to digestion do not secrete.
If a person eats his food while watching a drama in the TV with tears in his eyes, his digestive gland will not secrete. When tear secretes, digestive gland will not secrete. In our body, only some specific gland will secrete at a specific time.
So, please do not eat food while watching TV serial etc. The dramas in TV show only negative emotions such as anger, tension, fear, cheating, corruption etc. When we watch such stories while eating, only the glands pertaining to such negative emotions secrete and digestive glands will not secrete.
When we watch a movie in the TV while eating, we become the hero or heroine of the movie ourselves. At that time, whatever emotions are shown in the scenes, only the glands concerned with those emotions will secrete in our body.
Therefore, do not watch TV serial, movie etc. while eating. Some people will keep watching TV news while eating. When we see the news that 50 people were killed in bomb blast, while eating, the food will not be digested if we are watching gory scenes.
So, while eating, TV projector, home theatre, DVD player, etc. should not be watched. When we watch them, the ugly, gory and sad scenes in them, affect our mind and spoil the digestion. We have already seen earlier that we have to keep our attention only on the food while eating. TV is a device which distracts our attention. So, please do not watch TV while eating.
7. WE SHOULD NOT READ ANY BOOK WHILE EATING
Some people keep reading a book while eating. Digestion will not happen properly for these people. The reason is that, when we read a book, our eyes, mind, thoughts etc. all will be only on the matter that we read in the book. At that time, our mind will not order the digestive glands to secrete.
Some people read so intensely while eating that suddenly they will see the plate and ask, “Where is the Idli?” after eating it! To that extent they will be unaware of what they ate, how they ate, whether they ate with lips closed or whether they drank water while eating. All the people who read books while eating will get diseases. Therefore, please do not read any book while eating the food.
8. WE SHOULD NOT TALK WHILE EATING
Many of us keep on talking while eating the food. If we talk and eat, the food will not get digested and it will create low quality sugar, low quality fat, etc. What is wrong if we talk while eating? When we open the mouth for speaking, air enters the mouth. When the food and saliva are together doing the digesting work, the digestion is spoiled by the air entering inside. Air is the enemy for proper digestion in the mouth. We have already seen that we should chew the food with our lips closed. If we talk while eating, we cannot follow this guideline. Moreover, generally what do we talk when we eat? We talk more about our family problems, business problems, anger, sad, tension, fear and such matters.
When we think about such unnecessary matters while eating due to the emotions some chemical changes happen in our body and the digestion is affected. Immediately some people may ask,” Can we talk about good matters while eating?” No. This is because, our lips open when we talk and air enters inside. Therefore, please do not talk about any matter when you eat.
If some guest comes to our house, we give them snacks, tea, coffee, cool drinks etc. to eat and we chat with them. If the guests are present in our house for half an hour, is there a rule that they should keep on munching something and talking to us for the entire half an hour? What pleasure do we derive from making the guests who come to our house to eat snacks and keep on talking to us as they eat and spoiling their health?
Therefore, please do not talk when you eat. Do not eat when you talk. All the people who talk when they eat will already have several diseases. If not, they will get several diseases very shortly.
Nowadays, whenever two persons talk about any matter for some time, some snacks will be kept in between them. They will keep on eating it as they talk. Some businessmen call each other to a hotel for lunch and as they keep eating their lunch, they talk about business worth several lakhs of rupees. When they talk about business worth several lakhs of rupees, will their attention be on their food? No. That food will turn into poison.
So, please do not talk when you eat and do not eat when you talk. If we have to necessarily talk when we are eating we can chew the food in our mouth, make it a paste and swallow food inside the mouth. However, it is very good if we do not talk at all from the time we start eating till the time we finish the eating.
All right, can we at least listen to someone speaking when we eat? No. The reason is that, if someone is speaking to us when we eat, our thoughts will be on the words spoken by him and not on our food. So, our food will not be digested properly.
Whenever you go to any house or any hotel, just watch the people. All people talk about every matter on earth only when they eat. So, do not talk when you eat and do not eat when you talk. Only when we eat without talking, our entire attention will be on our food. Only when our attention is on our food, all the glands related to digestion will secrete. Only then our food will be converted into good items and mixed with the blood.
9. WE SHOULD NOT TALK ON CELL PHONE WHEN WE EAT
Many of us keep talking over cell phone when we eat. This is a bad habit which very much spoils our digestion. The reason is that, whatever may be the matter about which we are talking over the cell phone, our entire thought and attention will be on that matter only. During this time, no gland pertaining to digestion will secrete in our body. So, whatever food we eat at that time will become waste and poison. It will never convert into good ingredient in our blood.
All those who talk over cell phone while eating will definitely have several diseases. They cannot be cured by any medicine or tablets. So, please do not talk on cell phone when you eat. Switch off your cell phone or keep it in silent mode when you eat. If you do so, and avoid talking over cell phone when you eat, the food you eat gets digested well and becomes a medicine for curing several diseases.
10. WE SHOULD NOT DO ANYTHING THAT DISTRACTS OUR ATTENTION WHEN WE EAT
When we eat, our attention, thoughts and mind should be solely on the food. We have to see that it does not get diverted into any other matter. Activities such as watching TV, reading books, talking to others, talking over cell phone, listening to someone talking, thinking about business etc. will divert our attention from the food.
Therefore, we have to not only avoid these activities but we have to see that our attention is not diverted by any other such activities also. We should not indulge in any such activity when we eat our food.
11. WE SHOULD INCLUDE ALL THE FIVE TASTES IN OUR FOOD
SOUR TASTE
SALT TASTE
SWEET TASTE
HOT AND SPICY TASTE
BITTER AND ASTRINGENT TASTE
Every organ needs each taste to get activated and convert the food into essential ingredients for our body

If you have missed or skipped or newly joined you might have not read the above discussed topics and you won’t understand so first plz take time and read the posts patiently)
HOW TO DIGEST THE FOOD WELL?
Now we are going to see how to eat the food so that all the ingredients in the food can mix in the blood as good quality ingredients.
1. WE SHOULD EAT ONLY WHEN WE ARE HUNGRY
Without anything such as “Eat this.” “Eat that.” etc, just by following one small guideline we can get the food digested properly. This guideline is that we have to eat only when we are hungry.
What is hunger? Hunger is nothing but the signal to us from our body that all the parts in our body are ready for digesting the food properly and mix it with the blood.
All the food that we eat without feeling hungry become waste or poison. One very important secret in our treatment is that we should eat only when we feel hungry. People say that no disease will come if you take food as per a time schedule. This is wrong. Whoever eats food in a timely manner, they all will get diseases. Eating when you are hungry is totally different from eating timely food.
For example, let us say that you take food at 10.00 AM in the morning. You did not do any work after that. Let us assume that you did not give any appreciable work to your body. Now we see that the clock shows 2.00 PM. What do we think? We think, “It is 2.00 PM. Let us take lunch.” But did we think whether we feel hungry? No. If you see the time and eat lunch at 2.00 PM when even the breakfast that you ate in the morning is not yet digested and mixed in the blood, you will get diseases. So, the food in the stomach also will not be digested. The food now you take also will not be digested. So, the first reason for all the diseases in the world is eating without feeling hungry.
Let us see another example. You eat your breakfast at 10.00 AM in the morning. Then you work hard. You feel hungry at 12.00 noon. What will happen if you wait without taking food saying, “I will not eat now. I will eat food as per time schedule. I will eat only at 2.00 PM”? The hydrochloric acid in the stomach will be secreted by 12.00 noon when you feel hungry. Since this acid does not get any food till 2.00 PM, it will be diluted.
So, the food which you eat two hours after you get hunger will not be digested properly. So, what we have to understand from this is that, if you eat timely food you will get diseases and if you eat food when you are hungry you will not get diseases and the diseases that have come already will be cured.
Who has invented the law that everyone should eat thrice daily? Some people may do more physical work. They can eat even five times a day. Some people will do less physical work, It may be sufficient if they eat twice a day. So, from now on, please do not see the clock for eating. We have to keep on doing our work. Only when our body creates the feeling of hunger in us, we have to think about taking food and only then we have to eat food.
The great sage Thiruvalluvar says in the immortal Tamil epic Thirukkural, “The body does not need medicine for any disease. After the food that we eat is digested, we need to eat food when we feel hungry again. If we follow this, then our body will not need any medicine at all for any disease.”
Therefore, one important principle in our treatment is that we have to eat only after we feel hungry. If you do not follow this principle and follow all other principles that we are going to explain after this, then you may not get the best results.
When we eat thrice daily, we eat 90 times in a month. It may not be possible for all of us to eat after feeling hungry for all these 90 times. Therefore, to start with, we can practice eating after feeling hungry for at least 10 times in a month. Then we can increase it to 20, 30 and so on.
Some of us may work in a company. We may be required to eat lunch between 1.00 PM and 2.00 PM and return to work at 2.00 PM. What to do if we do not feel hungry during that time? In this way, there may be a necessity to eat food without feeling hungry sometimes.
During such times, we can follow the many techniques that we are going to explain shortly. By doing so, we can save ourselves from having our food being converted into waste and poison. Nevertheless, it is always good to wait for hunger when we are at our home and also wherever we can. So, please eat your food only after you feel hungry.
2. SALIVA SHOULD MIX WITH THE FOOD AND EAT WITH LIPS CLOSED
When we eat food, we should mix it with saliva and eat. Only the food that mixes with the saliva goes to the blood as good food. The food which does not mix with saliva goes to the blood as bad food. Our saliva contains a lot of enzymes. These enzymes help very much in separating the constituents from the food. Only the food that has been digested by the saliva in the mouth can be digested by the stomach. When the food that has not been digested by the saliva goes into the stomach, it becomes bad food and waste matter.
All of us will say, “We do mix saliva with food when we eat.”But this is not true. Whoever eats food with their lips open when they chew the food, for these people saliva will not mix with the food. When we chew the food, the lips should be closed. Only then the saliva will mix with the food. What is the difference between keeping the lips open and keeping them closed when we chew the food?
Imagine the food as a ball, and saliva as another ball. When we eat with the lips open, the air goes inside the mouth, stands between the saliva and the food and does not allow them to mix. Thus, it prevents proper digestion in the mouth. Therefore, air is the enemy to the digestion in the mouth. Therefore, from now on whenever you eat any food, please open your lips only for sending the food inside the mouth. Once the food is inside the mouth, keep chewing the food without separating the lips till you swallow the food.
In countries such as USA, UK, Italy, etc. the prevalence of sugar disease is very less. This is because the people of these countries have the habit of chewing the food with their lips closed.
When you see foreigners who come to your town, you will observe that they chew their food keeping their lips closed. Because the people in India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, etc. eat keeping their lips open, the sugar disease is more prevalent in these countries.
Immediately do not wrongly conclude that the people of some countries are intelligent and the people of some other countries are foolish. People in some countries consume more medicines for mental illnesses. Many people in countries having the habit of eating with their lips closed are affected by mental illnesses and consume medicines for these diseases.
So in some countries body is not all right but mind is all right. In some other countries, mind is not all right but body is all right. So, the business is running fine for the drug manufacturing companies in all the countries. Therefore, from now onwards, please chew every mouthful of food keeping your lips closed.
You may think that it will take more time to eat if you chew with your lips closed. In fact it will take less time. You can keep a piece of Chapati in your mouth and chew 40 times keeping your lips open. The Chapati will not become a paste and it will remain as Chapati only. But, if you chew four times keeping your lips closed, the Chapati will become totally mashed into a paste. Without any need to swallow it, it will just slide into your throat.
You can eat within a short time by closing the lips instead of opening the lips while chewing. Saliva will be very happy when we chew with our lips closed. Because the enemy called air is not there, saliva quickly separates all the constituents of the food and digests the food properly.
There may be a small complication when we eat like this. The chin will pain for about a week. This is because we start a new habit which was not there for several decades. But, after a week, there will be no pain and we can be peaceful throughout our life.
So, the second most important principle in our treatment is that whatever may be the food that we may eat, after putting the food inside the mouth, till we swallow the food we should not separate the lips.
3. WHEN WE EAT, OUR ATTENTION SHOULD BE ON THE FOOD
When we eat, we should concentrate our attention on the food. While eating, if we keep thinking that we are eating and focus on eating, the food will be digested well. While eating if we keep our attention on family, business or any other such matter, the food will not be digested properly.
We may think, ‘We are giving work to our brain. Digestion is happening only in the stomach. How can it be affected?” Our brain is connected to all our body parts and glands, through a nerve called Vagus. Whatever we think about, this Vagus nerve will make the gland concerned with that thought to secrete.
For example, what do we do when we want to pass urine? Which button is to be pressed in our body for passing urine? There is no button for this. Once we think in our mind that we want to pass urine, the urine comes out, doesn’t it? So, if our mind thinks, it can open the doors of the urinary bladder. Similarly when our mind thinks, it can close those doors.
The secret that we have to understand from this is that our mind, when it thinks, can operate our body parts. A disease first comes only in the mind. Then it is the mind which creates the disease in the body parts. Similarly, if our mind has the thought that we are healthy, only then the disease in the body parts will be cured.
For example, we may see a dream in our sleep. In the dream we may see that a snake is chasing us. We run fast in our dream. Suddenly, the dream stops and we sit up and see. Then our heart will be palpitating fast. Our body will be sweating a lot. We ran only in our dream. Then why did we sweat? Why does our heart palpitate fast? This is because, in our dream when our mind thinks that we are running, our body initiates its strength to run.
Then, the concerned glands are activated. What we understand from these two examples is that whatever our mind thinks about, the concerned glands in our body secrete. Therefore, when we eat our food, only if our focus and attention are on the thought that we are eating, all the glands concerned to digestion will secrete well. Instead, if we think about family, business, children, wife etc. while eating food, the digestive glands do not secrete and we get diseases. Therefore, please concentrate your attention on the food while eating the food.
Some people went to a wise man and asked, “What is the reason for all the diseases in the world?” The wise man said, “People do not eat when they eat.” They did not understand and asked the same question again. The wise man replied, “All the diseases will be cured if we eat while eating.” “What is the meaning of this statement? What is eating while eating? When we eat we have to keep our attention on eating. Those who focus on eating while eating do not get any diseases.”
So, while eating if we give respect to the food, thank the God and the nature for giving the food and say a small prayer that we know and then eat, the diseases will be cured. Instead, if we give respect only to the doctor, the diseases will become bigger.
While eating, take the food in your hand and eat it with the thought that this food is going to go inside our stomach, get digested and converted into blood, become food for all the body parts and function as medicine for all diseases. Then we can have a healthy life. So, the golden rule is,
“NEVER EAT ANYTHING WITHOUT HUNGER.
WHILE EATING, NEVER THINK OF ANYTHING EXCEPT FOOD.”
4. WE HAVE TO EAT THE FOOD BY GRINDING IT INTO A PASTE USING OUR TEETH
When we eat, we should grind it well using our teeth and then eat. Whoever swallows their food as it is without breaking and grinding the food with their teeth, their stomach will ask them one question, “Do I have any teeth to grind the food? Or do I have any mixer blades or grinder stone?” There are no teeth or mixer blades or grinder stone in the stomach. Then how does the stomach digest the food we eat?
The stomach is like a vessel. Inside it, an acid called Hydrochloric acid (HCL) is secreted. This acid is what digests the food. This acid is so powerful that, if we take this acid from our stomach and pour it on an iron, the iron will melt. If we pour it on our palm, the palm will get a hole. This powerful acid which can melt even the iron is what is generated in our stomach whenever we feel hungry.
You may get a doubt. Will this acid which can melt even the iron not harm our stomach? There will be a layer of mucus between the stomach and this acid. This mucus layer prevents the acid from touching the stomach and saves the stomach from being damaged. If we do not eat for a long time after feeling hungry, the acid that has been secreted in the stomach, without having anything to eat, will start eating away this mucus layer.
So, for those people who do not eat when they are hungry and starve their stomach regularly, after some time, this acid will keep eating the mucus layer and one fine day this iron-melting acid will touch the stomach. Once it touches the stomach, the stomach will be damaged and it will get sore. Then there will be acute pain in the stomach. This is called ulcer.
The doctors world-over say that we have to eat food time to time without fail according to the time schedule, if we want to avoid getting ulcer. But, here is the truth. Whoever eats food according to time schedule by seeing the clock, all of you will get ulcer. If you eat whenever you feel hungry, ulcer will be cured. There is a lot of difference between eating timely food and eating food when we feel hungry.
If a person is feeling hungry he has to eat food immediately. Instead, if he wants to take food only by fixed time and waits for two hours, the acid can damage his stomach in these two hours. All the doctors in the world ask you to eat food according to time schedule. Please do not take food as per time. Eat only when you are hungry.
Therefore, we should chew the food, grind it well using our teeth and then only swallow it. Generally, we do not give much work to our teeth at all. We just swallow the food in big morsels.
Let us assume that we take the food 40 times with our hand when we eat a plate of food. If we eat the food without properly chewing it during the first four times, the acid that is available in the stomach for digesting the 40 handfuls of food will be exhausted after digesting 4 handfuls of food. This is because the acid in the stomach has to do the job which is supposed to have been done by the teeth. So, the first four mouthfuls of food only become good blood. The next 36 mouthfuls of food become waste and go out as stool because there is no acid in the stomach to digest it. The only reason for pot belly and obesity is that we do not give much work to the teeth.When there is acid in the stomach, the food we eat gets digested and it does not get converted into pot belly. The food we eat after the acid in the stomach gets exhausted does not get digested and it becomes pot belly. This is the reason for obesity also.
Therefore please give work to your teeth. The more we chew the food with our teeth, make it a paste and send it into our stomach, the less will be the work for the acid in the stomach. Then, the stomach will digest the food with the least amount of acid and keep the balance of the acid for the foods coming in subsequently.
So, if all the foods that we eat such as Sambar, Rasam, butter milk, Kheer, Beeda, etc. are to be digested, then we have to bite and chew each and every mouthful of food, make it a paste and then only swallow it.
Many people go for walking exercise for reducing pot belly and obesity. After going for a walk for 4 KMs, if a person eats four eggs, then how will the body get trim? Some people try to reduce their body weight using new technologies such as vibrator machine, tying it to the stomach or standing on it.
Why should we eat when we are not hungry and then run on a vibrator? If we eat only when we feel hungry, then there will be no pot belly and there will be no obesity. Then we do not need to do these stunts. So, the easiest way to reduce obesity and pot belly is to give work to our teeth.
Measure your body weight today and note it down. Eat the food as we have suggested above. Within one month, your body weight will come down by several kilograms. You need not go for walking. There is no need to use any vibrator machine. If you are a person who eats five Chapattis for every meal, now you can eat seven Chapattis per meal and still reduce your weight.
So, it is a wrong notion to think that obesity comes due to eating more food. It is also wrong to think that body weight can be reduced by eating less food. By giving more work to our teeth, we can eat more and still reduce our body weight.
In our treatment, you can eat all the food you like to whatever extent you wish and still reduce your body weight just by giving lot of work to your teeth, chewing the food well, making it a paste and then eating it.
In our treatment, pot belly will reduce first and then body weight will reduce. Only then the disease will be cured. Therefore, please do not be afraid if you find that your weight falls when you use our treatment. To whatever extent your weight falls, it means that that much waste matter was there in your body. If your weight does not fall at all when you follow our treatment, you do not have any waste matter in your body.
When you start our treatment, initially your weight will fall slowly. Then after some particular day, the weight will remain constant for several months. Then you can understand that that is the true, healthy weight for your body. Then, your weight will keep on increasing slowly. This increase is due to the creation of healthy bones, nerves and muscles to create a healthy body. When the weight increases in this way, it will not fall again.
So, once you take a morsel of food in your hand and put it in your mouth, bite and chew it well for at least ten to fifteen times, make it into a paste, mix it with saliva and then swallow it. By doing this, you are helping your stomach. By chewing the food well you are reducing the work for your stomach and your stomach will be healthy and happy. When our stomach is happy, the diseases will be cured and we will be happy.
5. WATER IS THE ENEMY OF DIGESTION IN THE STOMACH
We should not drink water for half an hour before we start eating our food. We should not drink water in between while eating the food. We should not drink water after we finish eating the food. And, we should not drink water for at least half an hour after we finish eating the food.
Some people drink one glass of water and then start eating their food. These people will not have their food digested properly. It is because of the following reason. We have seen that the hydrochloric acid that is secreted in the stomach is what digests the food. If we drink water just before eating the food, this acid will be diluted. Once this acid is diluted, whatever good food that we may eat and however well we may eat it, it will not be digested properly.
So, after you drink water if someone calls you for eating food, you should say, “I will not come now. Just now I have drunk water and diluted the acid. So, I will come for eating the food after about half an hour.” Every time when we sit for eating food, we have to think and check whether we drank water during the last half an hour. So, the food we eat will be digested in an excellent way if we avoid drinking water for half an hour before we start taking the food.
We should not drink water in between our eating the food. The digestion will be spoiled if we do so. Those who bite and chew the food well, make it a paste, mix it with saliva and then swallow it will not feel like drinking water while eating the food.
We should not drink water after finishing the eating. Many of us drink one or two glasses of water immediately after finishing the eating. This also will spoil the digestion. So, we have to wait for about half an hour after we finish the eating and then only drink water.
So, half an hour before start of food, half an hour during eating, assuming that we take about half an hour for eating, and half an hour after finishing the food means that we should not drink water for one and a half hour in total. How can we totally avoid drinking water for one and a half hour? During this period, we may get hiccups, thirst, throat drying up, tongue drying up, food being hot and spicy, etc.
Why should we drink water when the food is hot, spicy and pungent? Our tongue tells us, “The food is hot and spicy.” That is all. Did it ask us to drink water? No. If the food is hot and spicy, then we have to find ways to reduce the hot taste and we should not drink water.
So, when the food is hot and pungent, we have to mix some coconut oil, Nallennai, etc. with the food and reduce the hot and spicy taste. If some oil goes with the food, even then digestion will be done well. But, if water goes with the food, it will spoil the digestion. Therefore, if the food is spicy, find alternative ways to reduce the taste and avoid drinking water.
What to do if we get hiccups while eating? First of all, let us see why we get hiccups while eating. A person who focuses his attention on the food while eating will not get hiccups. A nerve called Vagus connects our brain, which is our mind, and the parts of the body.
While eating, if we have only the thought about the food in our mind, then this nerve will keep all the glands concerned with digestion working well. Suddenly, if our mind starts thinking about the family, business or any other person, this nerve will get confused. There will be dilemma whether the gland concerned with digestion should secrete or the gland concerned with the emotions we are having should secrete. Hiccups occur only due to this confusion.
When people get hiccups, they say that someone is thinking about them at that time. In fact, no one is thinking about you when you have hiccups. Contrarily, you are thinking about someone and that is why you are getting the hiccups. So, as long as you keep thinking about the food while eating, you will not get hiccups.
What should we do if the tongue is dried up or if we feel thirsty? During the one and half hours, if our throat dries up or if we feel thirsty or if we get hiccups, we can drink water. But there is a limit for it. We should drink less quantity of water so that the water we drink does not reach our stomach. If our throat has dried up, then the water should just wet the throat and if our tongue is dried up, then the water we drink should just wet the tongue. That is, the water should be so less in quantity that it wets just our lips, mouth, tongue, food pipe and gullet. The water should not reach the stomach.
So, we need to understand that air is the enemy for the digestion done in the mouth and water is the enemy for the digestion done in the stomach.
Therefore, we can just wet our mouth before eating the food using one fourth glass of water so that it does not reach the stomach. While eating the food, if it is very essential that we have to drink water in the middle, then again we can drink one fourth glass of water so that it does not reach the stomach.
Many of us drink nearly one glass or one vessel of water immediately after eating the food. Please do not drink like this. Finishing the eating, it is sufficient if we drink one fourth to half glass of water just for gargling the mouth. Then please wait for half an hour. After that, we can drink liberally two glasses of water or even more and it will not cause any harm to the digestion.
So, half an hour before starting the food, during the eating and half an hour after finishing the food, avoid drinking water as far as possible. If needed, please drink very limited quantity of water.
Brahmins follow the custom of drinking a little water before and after eating the food by bringing together the index finger and the thumb of the right hand together, keeping the other three fingers stretched, pouring water in the palm and drinking the water by keeping the mouth on the wrist. This is called “Jala Pariseshanam”.
Our ancestors did not propagate any technique saying that hydrochloric acid is secreted in the stomach and we should not drink water during eating food. Instead of that, they have taught us some good habits in the name of customs. So, in case it is needed to drink water during the food, by drinking water three times in this way, we can save the acid in our stomach.
Just because we have mentioned one custom of Brahmins, please do not think that our treatment is related to the Hindu religion. This treatment is not linked to any religion. Religions and diseases have no connections. Therefore, there is no connection between treatments and religions. Let us accept good habits, irrespective of whichever culture or religion it may be found in.
So, let us understand how water is a hindrance to digestion and improve the digestion by drinking less water generally, when we go to a doctor, he will give a tablet and ask us to consume it after taking the food. While eating the food we have to concentrate on the food. But what do we actually do? While eating the food, we keep on thinking that we have to consume the tablet after eating the food and we eat the food focussing our attention on the tablet only. After eating the food, we run to drop the tablet in our mouth and drink one vessel of water. So, irrespective of whether the tablet cures our disease or not, the water we drink along with the tablet spoils the digestion and increases the diseases.
So, avoid taking tablets as far as possible. But sometimes we may be required to consume tablets. At those times, do not consume the tablet immediately after finishing the food. If you wait for half an hour, and then consume the tablet with water, then that water will not spoil the digestion.
Some people may say, “I have to consume the tablets immediately after eating the food. I cannot wait for half an hour. I may forget to consume the tablet. Is there any other way out?” In that case, you can mix the tablet with the Sambar rice and eat it. Then you may not need to drink water.
6. WE SHOULD NOT WATCH TELEVISION WHILE EATING
If we watch TV while eating, the food we eat will not be digested properly. You may ask, “Only the eyes are watching TV. Let the stomach digest the food.” When we see a thing with our eyes, that scene goes to our mind and our mind starts thinking about that matter. Then, only those glands concerned to that matter secrete, and the glands concerned to digestion do not secrete.
If a person eats his food while watching a drama in the TV with tears in his eyes, his digestive gland will not secrete. When tear secretes, digestive gland will not secrete. In our body, only some specific gland will secrete at a specific time.
So, please do not eat food while watching TV serial etc. The dramas in TV show only negative emotions such as anger, tension, fear, cheating, corruption etc. When we watch such stories while eating, only the glands pertaining to such negative emotions secrete and digestive glands will not secrete.
When we watch a movie in the TV while eating, we become the hero or heroine of the movie ourselves. At that time, whatever emotions are shown in the scenes, only the glands concerned with those emotions will secrete in our body.
Therefore, do not watch TV serial, movie etc. while eating. Some people will keep watching TV news while eating. When we see the news that 50 people were killed in bomb blast, while eating, the food will not be digested if we are watching gory scenes.
So, while eating, TV projector, home theatre, DVD player, etc. should not be watched. When we watch them, the ugly, gory and sad scenes in them, affect our mind and spoil the digestion. We have already seen earlier that we have to keep our attention only on the food while eating. TV is a device which distracts our attention. So, please do not watch TV while eating.
7. WE SHOULD NOT READ ANY BOOK WHILE EATING
Some people keep reading a book while eating. Digestion will not happen properly for these people. The reason is that, when we read a book, our eyes, mind, thoughts etc. all will be only on the matter that we read in the book. At that time, our mind will not order the digestive glands to secrete.
Some people read so intensely while eating that suddenly they will see the plate and ask, “Where is the Idli?” after eating it! To that extent they will be unaware of what they ate, how they ate, whether they ate with lips closed or whether they drank water while eating. All the people who read books while eating will get diseases. Therefore, please do not read any book while eating the food.
8. WE SHOULD NOT TALK WHILE EATING
Many of us keep on talking while eating the food. If we talk and eat, the food will not get digested and it will create low quality sugar, low quality fat, etc. What is wrong if we talk while eating? When we open the mouth for speaking, air enters the mouth. When the food and saliva are together doing the digesting work, the digestion is spoiled by the air entering inside. Air is the enemy for proper digestion in the mouth. We have already seen that we should chew the food with our lips closed. If we talk while eating, we cannot follow this guideline. Moreover, generally what do we talk when we eat? We talk more about our family problems, business problems, anger, sad, tension, fear and such matters.
When we think about such unnecessary matters while eating due to the emotions some chemical changes happen in our body and the digestion is affected. Immediately some people may ask,” Can we talk about good matters while eating?” No. This is because, our lips open when we talk and air enters inside. Therefore, please do not talk about any matter when you eat.
If some guest comes to our house, we give them snacks, tea, coffee, cool drinks etc. to eat and we chat with them. If the guests are present in our house for half an hour, is there a rule that they should keep on munching something and talking to us for the entire half an hour? What pleasure do we derive from making the guests who come to our house to eat snacks and keep on talking to us as they eat and spoiling their health?
Therefore, please do not talk when you eat. Do not eat when you talk. All the people who talk when they eat will already have several diseases. If not, they will get several diseases very shortly.
Nowadays, whenever two persons talk about any matter for some time, some snacks will be kept in between them. They will keep on eating it as they talk. Some businessmen call each other to a hotel for lunch and as they keep eating their lunch, they talk about business worth several lakhs of rupees. When they talk about business worth several lakhs of rupees, will their attention be on their food? No. That food will turn into poison.
So, please do not talk when you eat and do not eat when you talk. If we have to necessarily talk when we are eating we can chew the food in our mouth, make it a paste and swallow food inside the mouth. However, it is very good if we do not talk at all from the time we start eating till the time we finish the eating.
All right, can we at least listen to someone speaking when we eat? No. The reason is that, if someone is speaking to us when we eat, our thoughts will be on the words spoken by him and not on our food. So, our food will not be digested properly.
Whenever you go to any house or any hotel, just watch the people. All people talk about every matter on earth only when they eat. So, do not talk when you eat and do not eat when you talk. Only when we eat without talking, our entire attention will be on our food. Only when our attention is on our food, all the glands related to digestion will secrete. Only then our food will be converted into good items and mixed with the blood.
9. WE SHOULD NOT TALK ON CELL PHONE WHEN WE EAT
Many of us keep talking over cell phone when we eat. This is a bad habit which very much spoils our digestion. The reason is that, whatever may be the matter about which we are talking over the cell phone, our entire thought and attention will be on that matter only. During this time, no gland pertaining to digestion will secrete in our body. So, whatever food we eat at that time will become waste and poison. It will never convert into good ingredient in our blood.
All those who talk over cell phone while eating will definitely have several diseases. They cannot be cured by any medicine or tablets. So, please do not talk on cell phone when you eat. Switch off your cell phone or keep it in silent mode when you eat. If you do so, and avoid talking over cell phone when you eat, the food you eat gets digested well and becomes a medicine for curing several diseases.
10. WE SHOULD NOT DO ANYTHING THAT DISTRACTS OUR ATTENTION WHEN WE EAT
When we eat, our attention, thoughts and mind should be solely on the food. We have to see that it does not get diverted into any other matter. Activities such as watching TV, reading books, talking to others, talking over cell phone, listening to someone talking, thinking about business etc. will divert our attention from the food.
Therefore, we have to not only avoid these activities but we have to see that our attention is not diverted by any other such activities also. We should not indulge in any such activity when we eat our food.
11. WE SHOULD INCLUDE ALL THE FIVE TASTES IN OUR FOOD
SOUR TASTE
SALT TASTE
SWEET TASTE
HOT AND SPICY TASTE
BITTER AND ASTRINGENT TASTE
Every organ needs each taste to get activated and convert the food into essential ingredients for our body
