Drinking Between Meals

Good Health

Stop drinking about thirty minutes before a meal and wait about one hour after a meal. Food should not be washed down. The more liquid there is taken into the stomach with the meals‚ the more difficult it is for the food to digest for the liquid must first be absorbed. The less we drink with our meals the better. The dryness of our food furnishes the necessary stimulus to the secretion of saliva and of

gastric and intestinal juices. An abundance of liquid in the digestive tract interferes with the action of the secreting glands. It dilutes the secretions and thereby weakens their digestive qualities.

To improve digestion by thickening the lining of the stomach‚ it is recommended to drink 1-2 glasses of tepid water half an hour before each meal.

Disease and Cure

  • Avoid Salty Foods


Disease and Treatment Treatment Stay Young

Do not eat largely of salt; give up spiced pickles; keep fiery food out of the stomach. Have fruit meals‚ and the irritation that calls for so much drink will cease to exist.

If anything is needed to quench thirst‚ pure water is all that nature requires. Never take alcohol‚ tea‚ coffee‚ sodas‚ or sugared fruit juices.

No Eating Before Sleeping

Health Tips

We are not nocturnal animals; when we sleep our entire metabolism slows down. The reclining position causes the weight of the internal organs to press against the very large nerve trunks on each side of the spinal column and shuts off the mechanism that keeps the gastro-intestinal tract active. Even around 2:00-3:00 a.m.‚ our body temperature drops and our energy falls. ...

Eat a Good Breakfast

It is the custom and order of society to take a slight breakfast. But this is not the best way to treat the stomach. At breakfast time the stomach is in a better condition to take care of more food than at the second or third meal of the day. The habit of eating a sparing breakfast and a large dinner is wrong.
