Feeling Bad After Eating

IndigestionHaven't you had the experience of eating a meal and not feeling well afterward? Sometimes you attribute it to food poisoning which might be the case, but most of the time it is a physiologic consequence that defies an easy explanation.

You should never ignore a message from your body telling you of distress even though you can't explain it. And there are two explanations of the digestive symptoms after eating  It may be a result of imbalancing choices that you make through your nutritional choices or poor digestion of the foods you ate

For today let's focus on your choices  The foods consumed caused some imbalance in your gut.  When you eat a hot spicy meal, sometimes the result is heartburn. There is a chemical burning in the stomach experienced near the heart we call heartburn or acid indigestion. This increased acidity in the stomach is a result of too much hot among other qualities taken in.

But what if you can't associate something eaten with feeling bad after a meal? Does that mean that there isn't a imbalance caused by the foods?  Surprisingly poor food choices are pretty common and you should check the foods list for your energy body at foodsheal.com or pick up the Kindle version of the book for FREE

Let's take a look how imbalances show up in the body by eating excess qualities, for example of salt. If you ingested three tablespoons of salt, there would be clearly physiologic consequences or imbalance. You would become very thirsty, your blood pressure would transiently rise, your saliva would increase and you would urinate more frequently. Hot sensations would occur with flushing and acid indigestion might occur. Since the salty taste has a laxative effect, it might stimulate a bowel movement. So all of these changes occur in your body because of the consequence of excess salt.

If these changes can occur with excess salt, why couldn't simple ingestion of salt lead to gut imbalances if preexisting imbalance of qualities already exist? From an energy perspective this is one of the reasons why food can produce physiologic consequences of imbalance soon after eating.
