Stop treating your stomach like a compost and start treating it like a garden.
Adam had it easy. He ate the fruit off the trees and the leaves from the plants. There was no pasta, pesto or pizza. Our modern diet, with all its complexity, requires more gusto than our sedentary bodies can achieve. Flatulence is not the only fallout. We pay for our indigestion with our energy and our longevity. Every stress on the digestive/eliminative system is a drain to our daily energy level and a threat to long range health. Change your bad habits. Navigate through your meals for optimum digestion and turn your health around.

Explains the Laws of Quantity, Frequency & Chemistry. Digestion Times of Different Foods. Mastication. Good Habits. Bad habits. Foods to Avoid. Influence of Emotions. A Perfect Meal. An Awful Meal. How to Strengthen Digestion. Use of Herbs & Enzymes. Controlling Appetite. Food as Energy.

Man can survive on only one third of his daily food intake. The other two thirds goes to benefit the health insurance and medical care industries.
