A very common ailment among people today is low hydrochloric acid in the stomach. This results in poor digestion of food and reduces the body's ability to extract nutrients from the foods we eat.
When we eat on a regular schedule the body recognizes this and begins producing extra stomach acid when mealtimes roll around. I eat on the Creative Health Institute schedule - 7:30 am, 12:30 and 5:30 pm.
I don't even need a clock to tell me that it's mealtime. About 15 minutes before mealtime I can feel my stomach start to change, and my hunger grows greatly. If I haven't eaten lunch by 1 pm (for example), my stomach starts to growl. This is from the increased stomach acid looking for work to do.
There are lots of reasons that Raw Living Fooders are healthier - enzymes, organic food, pure water, sprouts - but eating on a regular schedule really helps our bodies to make the most of all these wonderful foods we're eating.
