The stomach is an important part of our anatomy. Food entering our mouths must be properly prepared for digestion. After being chewed by the mouth, the food is now sent to the stomach for further processing. The stomach mixes the food in an acid bath to further break it up into its base nutrients. When the acid shifts to an alkaline level of about 5.5 ph the pylorus valve at the base of the stomach opens and the food is passed along to the primary Digestive organ the small intestine.

Nature has provided us with a nerval system that regulates this process. This nervous system is designed to prefer Muscle action over digestion. If we are under excess stress our nervous system can stop digestion from completing. When we allow the stomach to empty it’s contents prematurely the small intestine is over burdened. The food is not properly prepared for digestion. Then we get an increase in large undigested proteins and fats that can be absorbed into the Lymphatic system. This will enter the free fatty acid and amino acid pool and either clog up the lymphatic system or be used to make cells.

Cells which will now be made of poor quality parts. The body produces 68 million+ cells every day. These cells are made from the parts that you provide by what you eat and what you absorb. It is not much of a problem if we cir*****vent the stomach just now and then, but for most people, this has become a way of life. When you try to build a house, it helps to buy the best materials so that your house can be stable and last. Your body is like a house, good quality materials produce a strong and stable house. Try building the same house using warped wood or bent nails or even no nails at all and the house will not be as stable or as nice, even if you can figure out a way to get it to work! Preventing the body from processing its food produces poor materials for it to work with and creates a less stable body. The majority of people are partially sick because they violate the rules of the stomach preventing the body from having good materials to work with.

This is key to weight loss and the healing of a host of other disease. We are seeing more and more evidence of what good nutrition can do. But it is not just what we eat that is important, but what we absorb. Even the most nutritious meal can result in inappropriate nutrition if we violate the rules of the stomach. Food combining is just part of the answer. Different foods take longer or shorter for stomach digestion. The stomach can open prematurely from mixing these foods as well.
