How digestion affects vitality and health

How do you support your digestion and thus your overall health? Practical tips and tricks

What's behind the Hippocratic phrase: "Eat to live. Don't live to eat".

Moderation has been encouraged by many great men and healers who knew that it is not only food that makes a person alive. The old recommendations included the recommended size of individual portions. For example, the volume of your joined palms indicates the amount of solid food that the stomach is able to not only accept, but more importantly, process without harm. The other palm should correspond to the liquid portion of the meal (soup or drink) and one palm is for air (and Qi) to keep the digestive fire burning well.

At the same time, this amount of food is just enough for the Spleen to be able to convert it into pure Qi without weakening or creating pathological dampness. You will feel light and the subsequent feeling of hunger will come naturally. Why is it so important to watch your digestion and what makes it specific in the summer?

Summer slowdown

Qi increases with summer, and we really don't just live on food. It's normal that sometimes we don't feel hungry and we suddenly don't need the snacks we're used to. It's an interesting phenomenon when our summer metabolism requires a quarter fewer calories.

But it's not that easy. We have different constitutional types and everyone needs to adjust that calorie reduction differently. By observation, you'll figure out if you're comfortable skipping snacks or cutting back on your three main meals. For simplicity's sake, you could say that exhausted and debilitated people prefer to cut back on main meals so they don't get tired. Those with reserves can afford to eat only 3 times a day and still cut back on portions. When else is it better to lose weight than in summer?

When digestion is good, we build up plenty of Qi and blood, which we appreciate in the winter months. Want to be healthy in the winter? Then don't be sick in the summer! How easy, but for many indulgers this is an impossible metric.

The pitfalls of All Inclusive

July is the prime holiday season and what the heck, it's also the third Earth Interval in a row. That is to say, the time of year when the Spleen is on the endangered species list and the Stomach is experiencing galleys. A classic example of this are the All Inclusive tour deals, targeting for many the greatest pleasure in life - food.

The only way to avoid overeating is through planned active entertainment. For one thing, you'll get a rush of endorphins, ensuring a sense of contentment and happiness, and you won't over-indulge before sport. It's best to leave the biggest meal of the day for dinner and keep an eye on your drinking during the day.

Dehydration impairs digestion, and it's no problem to deplete the Spleen with a combination of fatty and sweet things. Dinner becomes stagnant food in the stomach and intestines. Dampness and heat appear. With any luck, you'll be in for a restless and sweaty night, or at worst, some kind of travel fever will set in on this terrain, coupled with nausea and diarrhea.

Good digestion, the basis of vitality

What if the eyes could eat but the stomach couldn't? To support digestion when it's sluggish, MyStomach, which corrects the stomach and acts as a stomachic. In addition to supporting the appetite, it can eliminate the unpleasant consequences of sitting for long periods on the move, such as feeling full and heavy in the stomach, constipation and nervousness. Fears of gaining weight are not out of place, as Hericium extract improves the feeling of mental well-being and calmness, without the need for a full belly.

What if the Stomach is overheated and its rising Qi takes the gastric juices with it? Hericium will help again, this time as finely ground powder from the fruit plant. You'll find it in MycoGastro along with licorice, aloe vera, chlorella and chicory pulp. It not only cools the stomach fire slightly, but also caresses irritated mucous membranes. Unlike antacids, it does not impair digestion and calms the psyche.

The acidic environment in the stomach determines the digestion of proteins and also the use of micronutrients, which include vitamins and minerals. Protein gives us drive, i.e. the desire to move and be active. Micronutrients support blood formation and are involved in various forms of metabolic processes. A diet rich in proteins and micronutrients will fill us up without the need for a lot of meals.

Fill the imperial granaries

The spleen is the steward over the granaries, or reserves, which we store up in times of plenty and abundance. It plays an important role in the production of blood, which it also stores in part.

Unlike the Stomach, which either wants to take or not and just processes food mechanically, the Spleen controls our appetite and also the very perception of the patera of taste! There are those among us for whom food is not the center of life, and they see it more as a necessity. Skipping meals, avoiding certain types of food, but also having a reduced appetite after a prolonged illness or procedure are all reasons to strengthen the Spleen. Thinness, like being overweight, are not the best deposits for maintaining health.

The three vital mushrooms and four herbs in MySpleen strengthen the Qi of the Spleen, Stomach and also the Lungs. It improves digestion and increases vital Qi - Zheng Qi, what we call vitality. It can get the weak on their feet, help the thin to gain weight and those who are overweight to lose weight. It's like replacing an old boiler with a new, more efficient one.

Pathological humidity is an obstacle to the smooth flow of Qi and tends to overheat. It leaves in the form of frequent thin stools, unfortunately with some of the unabsorbed nutrients. Prolonged dampness leads to further emptiness of Qi and blood. The dampness dissipates and the Spleen is strengthened by the aromatic mixture of the Granary Cleansing. The main indication is a feeling of heaviness in the abdomen with bloating and flatulence, worsening after eating.

The key to abundant vital energy and robust health into old age lies in our belly, and health begins on the plate. Head out with ease towards summer adventures!
