Chi, the BioEnergy, Part 3 of 3: Digestive System and Trophology

The human digestive system consists of a 40-feet tubing, from mouth to anus. This is quite unbeliveable! It's 7 to 8 times the length of our body! Compare this to that of a tiger or lion which is 9 or 10 feet long. Hey, why must our food travel such a winding, torturous path before being passed out?

The Bible did gave some instructions on what can be eaten and what could not. Much was mentioned about hoofed animals, fish without scales and other crustaceans. You can read about them in the first 3 books of the Bible.

In Exodus 16, God provided some guidelines on trophology, the science of mixing food.

"And ... the (hungry) Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron...'...so you have brought us out from Egypt into this wilderness to be killed with hunger?'

After consulting God, Moses said to the Israelites, 'This will happen when the Lord gives you meat to eat in the evening, and bread to the full in the morning; for the Lord hears your gumblings which you grumble against Him.'..."

God was instructing the Israelites NOT to take meat/protein and cabohydrates at the SAME time, but at DIFFERENT time of the day. Our digestive system secretes one type of chemical to breakdown protein, and another chemical to breakdown cabohydrates. When both types of food are taken at the same time, the digestive system is 'confused'. Instead of breaking down the food for proper assimilation into the body, the food turns foul and putrid in our stomach and intestines instead.

The same goes for fruits. Fruits travels much faster through the digestive system than either protein or cabohydrates. Hence fruits should be consumed first, before the main meal of protein or cabohydrates. If protein or cabohydrates were eaten first, and then fruits were eaten as dessert, can you imagine what will happen? The slow-moving items will 'block' the fast-moving items all the way from the throat to the anus. When all are mixed-up and moved sluggishly along the 40-feet-passageway, how much good can be absorbed into the body?

So eat fruits before taking a main meal. Remember, raw food, such as fruits provides 'chi'. Cooked food does not.
