How Digestion Impacts Our Ability to Heal

A few years ago I found out that we all have sets of blueprints in us. These blueprints come with a variety of different instructions as to how the body is intended to function. Even our enzymes have built-in instructions for nearly every food we encounter.
What came as a surprise, however, was a particular piece of information within the digestive system's instructions — a detail about the quantity of food consumed at any given meal and its impact on the body. Of course, it’s a detail that most of us would rather ignore.
As I was working with a client one day, I was perplexed by how slowly their bone injury was healing. The swelling wasn’t diminishing either. Both of these factors made me dig in further to investigate why it was happening, and after some testing I quickly realized something important.
I was astonished to find that the client had cells in the adrenals and nerve tissues that were actively impeding the body's natural healing process. The cells were tied to excess food consumption. Upon further exploration, I found that these cells were generated as byproducts from undigested food.
Continuous eating, otherwise known as grazing, keeps the 32-step digestive process stalled in the initial 6 steps. For digestion to fully advance, the intake of food must cease.
The biggest takeaway is that once foods successfully pass step 6, it is critical to cease all other food intake. This break in eating should occur approximately 90 minutes after the start of your meal.
The ideal quantity of food the body requires seems to be dictated by the blueprints, which are governed by the food's energy content. This energy is based on two types of hydrogen: one originating from sun-exposed foods, and the other derived from foods grown in natural soil.
Keep an eye out! Aging As Intended plans to release a new food chart very soon, which will categorize foods based on their energy.
