WHEN
TO EAT
Eat
only when hungry, after the previous meal is digested. Eat the largest meal at noon when sun activity is strongest. Solar vibrations aid
digestion. Eat a small meal before sunset for a longer night of fasting.
Never eat when in pain, emotionally upset, extremely tired or
immediately after hard work. Rest and relax after a meal for 45 minutes.
For those with a delicate digestion, lie down for at least 10
minutes before a meal. After retiring for the night do not eat or
drink.
HOW
TO EAT
Be
grateful for the food on your plate. Bring a tranquil mind to meal time. Do
not argue or rush! Do not eat in front of the television. Enjoy your food. Eat
slowly and chew each mouthful thoroughly, reducing it to fluid before
swallowing. Breathe long and deep with each mouthful. Best not to have liquids with
meals. Drink at least 30 minutes before or three hours after a meal.
Don't over eat.
EATING
FOR HAPPINESS
Use
one protein or one starch food per meal. Oil slows digestion. It
combines best with fruit and green vegetables, combines poorly with
starch and protein. We would suggest grapeseed oil in place of sunflower
oil. Tomato combines best with avocado and green vegetables.
Use honey and molasses on an empty stomach to prevent fermentation.
Roasted, salted peanuts are high in protein, fat and starch and therefore difficult to
digest.
