THE CHEMISTRY OF DIGESTION & HEALTH- MICRO BREWING
Are you ready for this challenge. The prerequisites for your success in this venture are many. Two most important ones are : Will power of Hercules & Unbending discipline of steel. Apart from the above you must examine & put aside your conventional beliefs, convictions, bad habits, & question your shallow schooling / education about your miraculous ANATOMY & CHEMISTRY of food.
The human stomach is analogous to a micro brewing beer Vat. Three core aspects stand out in this regard.
A} The precise temperature control of the contents in the Vat like Stomach.
B} The breakdown to very fine particle size of the inputs & flow-ability in a semi liquid state.
C} Zero tolerance to dilution of the contents with foreign liquids of any kind.
Dual Pathways to Energy :
The Anaerobic route does not use Oxygen & it takes place in the Muscles of the body. The complex Disaccharide Sugars in Carbohydrates & Starches are subjected to a chemical treatment named Glycolysis & broken up into Monosaccharide components which are easily injected into our Blood stream through the Liver. This magic happens inside the Bacteria Cell walls/envelope. The inside of the cell is jelly like Cytoplasm hence no exposure to Oxygen filled environment.
The Aerobic route uses Oxygen & takes place in the Alimentary canal starting with the mouth & continuing till the small intestines. The starches are broken up in the mouth with the help of Enzyme called Alpha Amylase / Ptyalin into simple sugars and further by pancreatic Amylase & other juices into Maltose. Subsequently into Glucose with the help of enzyme called Maltase. At this point it is ready to be injected into the blood stream through the liver.
The breakdown of Proteins happens in the stomach with the help of Enzyme called Pepsin into Peptide chains. The Gastrin hormone in the blood stimulates the stomach walls to produce Pepsinogen which further tickles the glands to manufacture copious amounts of Hydrochloric acid to maintain a pH2 level for efficient breakdown. Subsequently in the small intestines with the help of more enzymes like Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, & Carboxypeptide the breakdown continues into Amino Acids. At this point the body can use up the AA or store them up as Urea with the help of Urea Cycle, Deamination process in the liver. Yet another option is to store up Polypeptides as alpha Keto acids using the Catabolism process or convert them into Glucose & store up as Fat using the Ploymerization process with the help of enzymes like Ribonucleic acids & Ribosomes. This stored up Fat is recycled into other AA when ever needed by the body. Fats are also emulsified into Fat droplets with the help of Bile salts in the stomach region.
The Anatomy of Breakdowns : Lock & Key mechanism.
Enzymes are Protein molecules with 3D shapes. They act as the Locks and attract complementary substrates as Keys to match up. The chemical reaction of breaking down gets completed & the substrate is released, thus freeing up the locks to dock with more matching keys.
CANE SUGAR is SUCROSE broken up into FRUCTOSE + GLUCOSE
MILK SUGAR is LACTOSE broken up into GALACTOSE + GLUCOSE
BARLEY SUGAR is MALTOSE broken up into GLOCOSE + GLUCOSE
FRUCTOSE is the killer component of your sugars, beware.
Personally, I have always been consuming the above two ingredients & the result is a DISEASE FREE body even at 72.
Keeping in mind all the above aspects of the brewing beer Vat like stomach the following TEN COMMANDANTS have been formulated to aid & lead you to Vibrant health which manifests as fountain of youth subsequently.
1} Thou shall consume all your micro-sized meals from Sunrise to Sunset. The stomach is influenced by the heat & light of the mighty Sun & functions best during daylight hours.
2} Thou shall ingest small quantities of food, which can be accommodated in the palms of your two hands at any one meal.
3} Thou shall eat solid food at room temperature or piping hot state. Frozen or cold foods lower the temperature of the stomach & result in sludge formation which refuses to move forward / downwards causing physical distress / uneasiness.
4} Thou shall drink a large tumbler of Luke warm water twenty minutes before every meal. This is a must because your body will need this neutral liquid to make up copious amounts of rich ALKALINE SALIVA & other complex digestive acids, enzymes, hormones when you begin to eat your solid food.Water has memory in the form of vibrations. Drink slowly with attitude of gratitude.
5} Thou shall maintain the potency of powerful digestive acids by refraining from mixing any foreign liquids, along with your solid food, like milk, wine, beer, alcohol, water, cold drinks, fruit juices. This is a serious matter because dilution of powerful acids will delay & surely stop the digesting process. Never drink cold water all day long. This drip irrigation fools the body into redirecting the water to wrong regions like the brain.
6} Thou shall attempt to enjoy one item of solid food at one meal. Mixing too much variety in one sitting clashes with each other & confuses the stomach. It just shuts down leaving you with undigested food, gas generation & its entrapment which results in extreme pain. Seven course dinners & massive buffets are a sure quick way to the grave. Starches sugars & proteins interact with each other to produce harmful chemical reactions. Therefore eat them separately. Examples of single item meal are as follows :
Dark bread/toasted whole wheat bread/flat beard with butter.
Platter of meats/sea food/fish - two cups equivalent
Cooked vegetables - one cup
Raw vegetables, fruits, salads without proteins - two cups
Cooked Lentils or lentil soups - one cup
7} Thou shall cook, prepare or assemble your own food in silence & soul conscious awareness. In case your loved ones are cooking your food then make sure they are kept contented & happy at all times. This is the only way you are going to ensure that positive love-full vibrations go into your food first & latter on in your system. Imagine yourself ingesting unhygienic street food cooked by a dissatisfied unpleasant angry person, who is compelled to do this for a living/profit.
8} Thou shall eat in micro sized bites, chew slowly with mouth shut & masticate the morsels of food in soul awareness till it is liquid in the mouth itself. Please note that food is digested in the mouth & absorbed in the stomach. This habit will make you feel fuller & allow you to eat less. which is the pathway & secret to Vibrant health. Thou shall drink lots of water all day BUT NEVER WITH FOOD.
9} Thou shall walk away from the ever inviting but dangerous platters of cakes, pastries, sweets, ice creams, puddings, milkshakes which are over flowing with harmful sugars ( Fructose). At this point your single item meal has used up all the available INSULIN in your system. These sugary desserts if consumed now will end up in your blood stream which I dare say will prove FATAL. Go ahead & kill yourself with a piece of sweet. How ever we have beautiful alternatives for your sweet tooth now, if you can not resist the temptations, like dates, figs, cinnamon, licorice, molasses, jaggery, maple syrup, & sweetest of all honey.
10} Thou shall also focus on the elimination process of the body. Early morning drink the first glass of Luke warm water with lemon juice & 10 drops of tinctures Neem/Turmeric/Ginger. The second glass of Luke warm water must have 5 spoons of ground mixture of Flax seeds, Chia seeds & Psyllium husk. This regime will ensure total & easy evacuation of the unwanted elements from the body. It acts like a internal rope broom which ensures absolute cleaning. In the beginning you may have to sit down & walk like a crow to get the rigid bowels moving into new habit.
SPECTRUM OF HEALTH - JUST TO WIDEN YOUR HORIZON
VIBRANT HEALTH LEADS TO FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
This is a very crucial cross road from where you have two choices : to go down or to go up. Most of us are on the middle rung of the ladder of Health, that being APPARENT HEALTH - We think we are healthy enough, but realistically we are not. Mere absence of disease is not good health.
The cause lies in our overall unawareness. We are overloaded with wasteful thought patterns & habits arising from seeds of hurt, anxiety, worry, fickle, faithless, & inhibited.
Our unconscious choice of seeds & eventual thought patterns lead us downwards one rung to MARGINAL HEALTH - The cause of this stage is negative thinking arising out from seeds of lust, inferior. defective, ugly, victim, loser & crushed.
The lowest rung of the ladder is Ill health. This is a serious matter but the cause is very much in our control if we choose to do so. It is the perpetual pattern of Toxic thoughts arising from the seeds of Ego, jealousy, pride, greed, selfish, rude, cheating & CONTROLLING THE SPOUSES, CHILDREN, WHOLE WORLD. It is a sure highway to INSANITY - Go figure.

The other path that takes you up on the ladder of Health is that of discipline & self control. One rung up takes you to OPTIMUM HEALTH - people in this category are very much conscious of their physical bodies & wish to stay in perfect shape most of their lives. Actors, singers, musicians, athletes, fall in this category of mania for good physique. They earn millions through the display of their bodies & skills. They also spend at least 2 hours everyday in the gym, rain or shine & eat frugally exercising total discipline in all aspects of their living. They have Positive thinking patterns, which grows from the seeds of contentment, helpful, love-full, aware, easy, quiet & happy.
Finally the top most rung is that of VIBRANT HEALTH - This is attained by a select few who venture very hard in the field of Elevated thoughts, regular meditation, & Raja yoga. Saints, yogis, toddler children, fall in this beautiful category. The basis of such perfect health are the seeds of no memory, Peace, affection, kindness, giving, generous, honesty, & soul consciousness.
