A inefficiency way .

This is a circle of digestion:

Physical → chemical→ biological digestion →awareness transfer

the idea is from my Taiwan's Yoga teacher - Qiu . 

He thought that as you drink a cup of water ,then the water temperature will be the same with yours body temperature as like being yours.I must say that , I like this idea, why?I try to extend it. 

This is very inefficiency process may not hart to find out that. 

The Triglyceride in our body ,it from the diet it come in the mouth and chewing then go by gravity ,reflex ,moving wave and combined effect of enzyme or enzyme decomposition into the small intestine ; it has been absorbed to  the liver  become the Triglyceride .

We must ask "Why need so trouble?"

Bluntly in philosophical thinking  in the mystery of diet .the whole process is to make these food energy to enhance be your own  .That's why some people say " you eat what you ar e".Although not all of these words but we can see through in this circle by nutrition ,pressure attitude and lifestyle . 


In some traditional（Tibet and India）medical book has mentioned the 7 substance (Dhatus) are: Chyle(rasa), blood(rakta) , muscle(mansa ), fat（meda)  bone(asthi) , bone marrow( majja ),semen(sukra ).they trans to trans into your own .such low efficiency but  finally seems more a part of your own.what magic like genetic  science.In other words to say the process of digestion are make the food become our own nutrients even the food originally not part of their .and the nutrients also includes the mind.
Another  example, we say something good to the blood ,not because it being the blood when it eating into body ,but it could been transformed into organs of the material to help create blood. so the food itself is not their own.


What to eat let people tired or energetic, many people has experience something like that.may be this is a way  to know what is good for us or let we know that some foods for this body to be laborious to digest.

In this circle,we know a truth is the scientists have put a lot energy to solve this first three  - the Physical,chemical,biological.But how about the last one? The awareness, we can not  completely solve the part only rely on scientists or any other.basically ,we can change this by our own.


This is a skinny lady she come to my place and say that she always feel uncomfortable in her throat. the feel like something stuck in the throat but even physicians still do not have any reason can found it out , even more sympathetic with the weight has been falling and falling.
I try to further asking then each other question appeared:

• In addition to the throat, there is also has stomach discomfort by the always felt that in flatulence. 
• Low body weight and osteoporosis let she afraid any exercise.
• She also ate very little and a lot of things afraid to eat . but the reason is contradictions. if she want to know to eat something for helping gain weight and you answer -"Avocado" then she will say" oh! it's too fat" .
• Can not seem of  flavors（*rasa ）.In other words the knowledge of nutrients or food is good or bad better than taste .
• She lack of understanding of her family
• Even work is not happy too.

I don't know how much cases is like the woman . has very good job and hight knowledge is their common.but not happy  in the mind and body.


For this case ,the yoga class release her symptoms by the easy poses with deep breath and relaxation and gentle massage. also resolved that she's self-doubts -"can not move".
in the process of yoga practice she will not feel any uncomfortable ; I allowed her discharge the air comes out from her body even fart or burp.by the way she always feel good after class.
Her fulling confidence because ease her symptoms . In fact for the long term she still needs the other help in the social system;like the Counseling agencies on her work units,mental health specialist,Gastrointestinal specialist,dietitian specialist and etc.I must allowed her away  although I do not know the other auxiliary systems can be much help to her but I know we can not be satisfied if she fixed here.

*The Sanskrit word rasa is sometimes translated as "flavor," but it also means "juice"—the delicious essence of something. The sweet taste of a ripe peach is its rasa, its essence. Applied in a deeper sense, rasa is the juiciness in life, the subtle lusciousness that gives the world its taste. Without rasa, life would feel dry and flavorless.

You know what you eat?

People always good to use of experiment and observation to build up knowledge then formation of civilization. that's why many old drugs or food in the eating process to find or  such as from observe the behavior of other animals .even there was era of no chemical or science,only by the experience and rely on lever mind to use it .


In Chinese mythology there has such person who end life to tested a hundred herb and handed down to posterity.this story has sad ending of the person is died of poisonous plants. He probably very stupid ,or you can say either the significance can be let people know "do not eat something you don't know" .But at least it shows one thing is - most people may have lost the ability to recognize what intake without our brains is already know .
Is progress or degradation?


The fact is for the most of the material world regardless of food or drug is both bad and good .In other words is as double-effect be a good one and bad.If in medical point of view will use these effects to achieve therapeutic goals. but the perspective on yoga is the physical body in the medium itself which could be have ability to balance the good and bad. so that 's way even vitamins may also give body overload when it overdose,and morphine to be used in patients with cancer or severe pain. and low dose Poppy(opium) can relieving cough.

Another sad story in my home .My dog was eat a poisonous plans and death.I never know this plant is toxic before my dog to eat and die.This tells me a truth - "we do not know more than what we know"  it is many and forever.
We certainly do not like animals or ancient people to eat something we do not know ,after all ,this is too easy can get we needed in our life.But too much choice sometime is a relative to brought other difficult in life , if something is good or helpful we will be more difficult to find it by my self.


Of course, there is many discussion space in medicine .as like modern people has digestive allergic reactions .it just common inquired "what you're eat making you sick?".To see opposed is "over -sensitive".
We can make question - if people must be forced to learn accept different environmental conditions in order to adapt ,we still can allow the "allergy"? or, if  the allergic reaction is protect our body ,how will not hurt themselves to let enough is enough.
The problem can always scroll down.
