Many years ago, I learned from one of my Chinese
masters the importance of proper digestion. In
Chinese medicine, there’s a great emphasis on the
stomach and spleen. The reason being the stomach
and the spleen feed the heart, feeds the kidneys,
the lungs and feeds the liver. These are all of
the yin organs. If you notice, when you visit a
friend or family member, the first thing they
offer you when you walk into their house is
something to eat or something to drink. This
nourishes the stomach and the spleen which
ultimately feeds all of the other organs.
Did you ever notice that after a big meal, your
energy goes down? Let me tell you why. The
digestion process takes a lot of energy. So, what
my master told me years ago, after a large meal,
make sure that you take at least 100 steps: cien
pasos. This will help expedite your digestion and
feeds all of the other organs at one time.
When a patient comes to see me after I do the
initial consultation, I always check the earth
element – which feeds the stomach and spleen – for
energy, vitality and digestion disorders. If
you’re having digestion problems, either
constipation or loose stool, chances are you’re
not absorbing the proper nutrition. You’re not
feeding your organs and you’re affecting your
body, mind and spirit. Your stomach and spleen are
the core of your being.
In the past, you may have been able to eat a hot-
dog loaded with chili and onions, drink a soda and
eat a piece of pie with no problems. Twenty years
later, you eat the same thing and you have
heartburn for a week. It’s time to make some
changes in your dietary habits to get your body
back to that time when you could eat and do
whatever you wanted.
The big 4th of July weekend is just about here,
and you may forget about your diet for a little
bit. Remember to take a walk after each meal –
at least 100 Steps to improve digestion. If you continue
having issues, book an appointment with me and
let’s start a program to keep you young, healthy and
vibrant.
I wish you the best in your health, wealth and
happiness.
