Reflexology & Diet

The benefits of reflexology can be greatly realized if we also maintain a proper diet and exercise. If we break up deposits at one end to remove poisons, and shove poisons in the other end, then we are defeating the purpose.

Active exercise increases the amount of blood in the skeletal muscles, thereby increasing the supply of blood to the stomach. Give your stomach a chance to digest the food you have eaten, and don't exercise too soon after a meal.

Secretions of gastric juices, or fluids, is inhibited and digestion is delayed by anger, fear, worry, hatred, and many other emotional factors.

Do you know what happens when you combine starches and protein in the same meal?   Starches require alkaline conditions for their digestion. Proteins require an acid treatment for their digestion. So by combining these in a meal, the acid interferes with the alkaline and neither food is able to be digested. With starches, fermentation takes place and with protein, decomposition takes place. Then come the symptoms of ptomaine poisoning.

Drinking fluids with meals tends to dilute the gastric juices which are important in the digestion of food. Try not drinking 15 minutes before or after your meals.

Avoid sugar (robs the body of calcium), white flour, processed foods, and refined foods in your diet to help prevent diseases. Taking vitamins and mineral supplements would aid in keeping healthy. Also to give your body a good cleansing for a few days each month. Did you know that watermelon is a cleanser and a purifier?

Purchase a good book on nutrition to learn more about the value and importance of good nutrition.
