Ice Is Not Nice and Digestive Fire
So we go to a restaurant and the first thing that the server does is put down some ice water and says, "Enjoy your meal!"
To a casual observer this seems innocuous enough Hey, it's just water with ice and besides I'm feeling a little hot anyways
Yes, that's true but consider that always doing something a certain way could lead to some untoward consequences You see if health is the compilation of all our decisions then small decisions like ice can add up to affecting digestive fire and compromising it
So temporarily the gastrointestinal enzyme system is reduced in its ability to deal with foods because the enzymatic reactions are thermally sensitive The system works best at 98.6F not 92 or 93F This temporary reduction in efficiency is problematic over the long term
Digestive fire is a collective term for all the enzyme systems from the mouth to the colon It is responsible for turning broccoli into heart, brain and liver cells among other activities
When we alter energetic physiologic processes over and over and over again we disrupt the health of the energy mindbody.
So food that would be turned into fine ash with a strong healthy digestive fire now being compromised leaves charred debris and remains that interferes with future digestion
The phrase "I just have a little bit of cancer" comes to mind
Paying attention to details is how to improve and maintain health
Have you ever made the observation that something that was small and seemingly incidental led to you feeling bad? Can you remember feeling bad and pointing to one particular choice?
Until tomorrow To health as a Skill Love DrBill
