Health Tip.
Did you know that the word ‘vegan’, like ‘vegetarian’, comes from the latin word ‘vegetus’. It means lively or vigorous and isn’t that what we all need in our life, to have energy and vitality to accomplish all the wonderful things there are to do in this life. Healthy eating and simple habits of living will help bring us that reward. In my book, Vegan Homestyle I’ve outlined some simple steps for Eating For Good Health.” Since many diseases have their start in the digestive tract, good health depends not only on what we eat, but how and when. One important principle is not snacking. What?! You might say, no snacks? Aren’t I supposed to eat every few hours?

Actually, when the stomach is allowed to digest a whole meal and then rest for a little while the interdigestive phase kicks in and helps rejuvenate the digestive organs. This allows the digestive enzymes to be replenished and digestion to be more efficient. So try just water between meals and space your meals at least 5 hours apart. After a few days, many people realize that things are working much better.
