"I can eat anything and as much as I want  NO problem!"

We may have heard friends when we were young relate that they had the proverbial "cast iron stomach"

But Wait!

Our friend, we should say, COULD eat anything but as the years go by the "cast iron stomach" melts

There occurs days of reckoning where what once was strong digestion is no longer the case

Nature catches up eventually and the good ole days are of the past  The mindbody and its digestion can no longer handle the abuse

Cast Iron Redefined

What happened?  How does the mindbody capitulate to what's being done to it?

We won't find the answer from the current matter science medical model since its concept of digestion is molecular

But the energy science medical model has a lot to say about digestion since it is the key to optimal health

"What?"  From an energy science view how we chose and handle our external environment(foods) is predictive of our health  Makes sense, doesn't it?  If we ingest foods or experiences that don't bring about balance and disrupts digestion(chocolate or divorce or a debilitating relationship), then eventually our mindbody system becomes weaker and our health suffers

The Key to Optimal Health

Sooo...my friends our friend back in our teenage years was indeed able to devour anything and not be affected

Why?  His digestive fire was "over the top" with so much power that the furnace would burn any and everything

But as with any gift if abused and not nourished it becomes less appreciated and goes away  Hence it is with our digestion and its power

Like a campfire the digestive power with so many wet logs eventually weaken the gift which then labors and struggles
