What to Drink and When? - According to Digestive Fire

As I have stated earlier, our digestive fire is directly related to The Sun. Here I will tell you why. The Sun is energy source to the earth and it is a known fact that plants make their food using sunlight. Sunlight itself is a cure to many diseases given it is filtered properly by ozone layer (without uv radiations); it isn't for nothing that regular sunbathe are considered to increase immunity.

Our body contains some chemicals which when secreted activate particular glands. It is found that the chemicals needed to activate the digestive system are secreted in our body when the sun rises in the morning and reaches the optimum level after 2-3 hours of rising from horizon. It is said that anything that is eaten at that time gets digested perfectly. When the sun is directly overhead (noontime), the secretion is limited and the digestive system is moderately active. In the evening, before sunset, the digestive system less active and it becomes inactive for the food right after sunset. The only thing that is recommended after sunset is milk, as the juices secreted by our stomach at night are useful only for the digestion of milk.

Therefore everything edible has a time associated with its consumption. This post is only for the drinks and hence what to drink and when is as follows:

7 am -12 am : It is the right time to drink fruit juices. One can have a glass of fruit juice right after or with the breakfast.

12 am-6 pm :  It is the right time to have yoghurt, buttermilk or any fermented drink. You can have it right after the lunch if thirsty.

6 pm-12 am : It is the right time to drink milk.

NOTE: One should drink water only before and after 50 minutes of their meal.

Science Behind Kali Mirch (black pepper)

Kali Mirch is "mine of health benefits" ,Using kali mirch in your cooking offers a range of health benefits, because it contains essential nutrients your tissues need to function, and it also contains phytonutrients that fight disease. It contains piperine which  is a cancer fighting compound.

Kali mirch serves as a good source of dietary fiber. Fiber makes what you eat more filling by absorbing water in your digestive tract to physically fill your stomach. As a result, fiber-rich foods tend to help stave off hunger between meals. Dietary fiber also helps prevent digestive disorders, such as constipation, and helps lower your risk of heart disease. Using 2 tablespoons of kali mirch in your cooking boosts your fiber intake by 3.5 grams, and provides 9 percent of the daily fiber intake requirements for men and 14 percent for women, as set by the Institute of Medicine.

Consuming kali mirch also helps you reach your recommended daily vitamin K intake. Each 2-tablespoon serving of kali mirch contains 23 micrograms of vitamin K, which is 26 percent of the Institute of Medicine's recommended daily intake for women and 18 percent for men. The main role of vitamin K involves blood coagulation -- it allows your body to form blood clots needed to prevent or stop bleeding. Getting enough vitamin K in your diet also promotes healthy cell growth and supports your skeletal health.

Kali mirch also contains essential minerals, providing a considerable amount of manganese and copper. You need both minerals for a healthy metabolism. Manganese helps your body break down nutrients, while copper aids in energy production. Manganese and copper contribute to the health of your cartilage and bone tissue, and copper also promotes nervous system health. A 2-tablespoon serving of kali mirch boasts 1.8 milligrams of manganese and 184 micrograms of copper. This provides 20 percent of the daily recommended copper intake established by the Institute of Medicine, as well as 78 percent of the daily recommended manganese intake for men, and the entire daily recommended intake for women.

Adding kali mirch to your cooking also ups your intake of piperine, a phytonutrient abundant in black pepper. Piperine has an effect on gene activity in your cells, and consuming piperine helps fight cancer growth and development. One study, published in "Food Chemistry" in 2013, found that piperine reduces the activity of HER2, a gene that drives the growth of breast cancer cells. And according to a study published in "PLoS One" in 2013, piperine promotes the death of prostate cancer cells, and it helps prevent the spread of cancer by inactivating genes that prostate cancer cells need to invade other tissue.

Why We Should Not Drink Water Immediately After Eating or While eating!!!

It is very common that people drink lots of water after there meal and it is a trend that they sit with a big glass of iced water while eating. But actually drinking water while eating or after eating leads to diseases like peptic ulcers, constipation and other gastric problems. And prolonged habit can even lead to hypertension, depression and gastric cancer.

It will sound funny that our stomach and digestion process is actually related to The Sun, it does sound unbelievable but its true. The Sun it directly related to our Digestive fire the detailed explanation will be discussed in next post. 

The fact is that everytime we eat something our digestive fire ignites ( digestive juices are secreted form glands such as saliva,HCl , pepsin etc) and it is no rocket science that fire is extinguished by water ( the acids or the juices become diluted and hence their action on food is very less) due to which the food is not digested properly. And when the food is not digestion properly it decomposes(rots) as the time is defined for the food to go through each phase of digestion. The products and byproducts of decomposition process have harmful effects on our body, this become worse when it leads constipation and the harmful by products of our body are not excreted properly and timely.

Note: 2-3 sips of water are permissible according ayurveda if it is necessary like if the food gets stuck while swallowing. 

What to drink after food will be posted soon.
