Causes
Of Digestive Disturbances
From The
Whole Kernel, Book II, pp. 12-19, by Dr. Ede Koenig, Ph.D.
Eating
Between Meals --
"Food
... should be partaken of only at regular periods, not oftener than
three times a day and two meals would be better than three ...
Irregularities in eating destroy the healthy tone of the digestive
organs." (from Ellen G. White’s book "How To Live", p. 228-229)
"A
second meal should never be eaten until the stomach has had time to
rest from the labor of digesting the preceding meal." ("Selected
Messages", Vol.2, p. 415, White)
"Five
hours at least should be given between each meal, and always bear in
mind that if you give it a trial, you would find two meals better
than three." ("How To Live", p. 83, White)
There should be time for the stomach to digest the food and then have a rest period before taking on more work. A tired stomach cannot digest more food even if it is the best of quality. The gastric glands will not begin to produce again until after at least five hours. They must rest to prepare for further activity. It is actually better for you to be hungry for a short while; then you know your stomach is ready for more food. But don’t confuse this with a false hunger feeling that may be actually a distress signal coming from a tired stomach that is getting too much food and too often. If you are eating natural foods in balanced combinations you will obtain enough energy from the food that you eat to sustain you the five or more hours. However, with junk food, you are getting concentrated food with little nutritional value, and you will get hungry before the five or more hours expire.
"After
disposing of one meal, the digestive organs need rest. At least five
or six hours should intervene between meals; and most persons who
give the plan a trial, will find that two meals a day are better than
three." ("Ministry Of Healing", p. 30, White)
"You
should never let a morsel pass your lips between your regular meals.
Eat what you ought, but eat it at one meal, and then wait until the
next." ("How To Live", p. 85, White)
Many
X-ray studies have been conducted showing that if even one bite of
food - even of the best quality - is eaten before the five hours are
up, food can stay trapped in the stomach possibly longer than 72
hours. (In this particular study, X-rays were stopped at that point,
so it could have become even longer.)
REMEMBER
that this is one of the most important rules of health.
