HOW MANY TIMES AND WHY?
The day's activities both at work and at home, are usually accompanied by snacks, minced, midmorning, "snacks" or whatever you want to call. The truth is that many tend to eat or drink between meals. The scientific opinions vary according to the approach. Allopathic medicine defends the hypothesis that eating several times a day is healthier, while homeopathic natural medicine follows the body's biological scientist, and recommends eating only three times a day, if people are in normal and are older than seven years.
The case of children under seven years is an exception, the number of times you must feed can be up to five per day, and for babies under 12 months, up to seven times. In both cases, given the age, the digestive system is faster and the type of food that should be given to children is more liquid than solid. It is best to consume fruit compote with honey, vegetable protein, juices, vegetable soups and purees.
Control the number of times you eat a day is desirable for many reasons, mainly preventive. Every morsel of food that enters the stomach, produces a production of gastric juices, if this segregation continues for more than one continuous hour with an interval of less than four hours from one meal to the other stomach acidification levels exceed normal levels (less than pH 1), eroding the walls of stomach mucosa. With the passage of time, may develop gastritis, ulcers and bleeding easily become, creating a favorable place for a stomach tumor or cancer.
It also helps maintain healthy teeth and gums. A person who keeps eating all day without intervals of at least 4 hours or have the habit of chewing gum or candy, facilitates the proliferation of bacteria in the mouth, there is a wear tooth enamel and is many times in cavities, gingivitis and other oral problems. Also, it contributes to higher levels of gastric acid, and that responds to the stomach ensalivación that occurs in the mouth, ie in which all are occurring chew stomach acids.
Excess stomach acidification has other complications like blood acidification and its effects.
So far we have given references because it is not convenient to eat between meals from the standpoint of physical science. However, there are no consequences, because the energy levels of the body are affected. The biological rhythm that each system is altered by the work on effort is given to process multiple digestions in the day. The liver, pancreas, kidneys, heart and other organs suffer wear. The time and energy to be available for self-detoxification in a high percentage decrease. Rather than renovate an organ or nourish new cells being formed, must produce extra energy to compensate for the additional physical work. In short, the person is likely to get any kind of bacterial or virused, simply by biological dysfunctions.
It is good to avoid consuming extremely harmful products such as soft drinks [1] * of all kinds, flavor, color and brand, as well as containing acids synthesized, refined sugar, and drug-dependent substances like cocaine, has high amounts of carbon dioxide. This last element is the same as the lungs expel air after removing oxygen. In other words, are 100% harmful.
The consumption of soft drinks, snacking, food quality and other factors previously observed as constipation, gastrointestinal result in very poor health.
As a reference the situation that exists in many countries, it is enough to observe the results of the latest research in 2008 in the Mexican population, indicate that 70% of Mexicans suffering from gastric problems, from halitosis, gastroenteritis, heartburn, hepatitis , gastritis, peptic ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, tumors and cancer [2]. In Spain in 2007, 80% of the population had some gastric problem [3].
Who usually eating or drinking, several times, at 8 am, 10 am, 12 pm, 1 pm, 4pm, 8pm, 11pm and on, the digestive system must start several digestive processes, according to the number of times you eat a day . That is, if in total 7 times a day ate then are 7 different digestive processes. This is the way forward of the digestive system. When this occurs, each new obstructs the previous process and therefore the bolus which was being processed is retained in the area that was. Thus also are formed fecal clusters in various parts of the intestines, giving a feeling of fullness total.
From the point of bio-rhythm, all the systems in our body work in coordination, while some are more activated in certain times of day, others are activated less. Normally distributed always work in groups of three organ systems. For example, the digestive system when activated at the highest level, then at the same time the circulatory system begins to lock with more intensity, 70% of bloodstream will diaphragm positioned in the body. Immediately peristalsis mechanism comes into operation with higher intensity immediately ready filtration systems such as the kidney.
Following the previous comparison of the body and the similarity with the car, the engine has been working 24 hours, every day, the engine can overheat and damage. Something similar happens with systems containing the body, overwork will create problems. For example, in the case of the digestive system, when used to excess, too often, large amounts of fats, carbohydrates and proteins of animal origin, increases the internal body temperature at 37oC over. The medical staff called "internal fever or stomach", many times the person does not perceive this state, however, one of the symptoms is that the person present resected lips, irritations, "fires" or small painful sores on the lips and gums.
The stomach flu, has an impact on health rather important. In recent decades there has been significant research on the subject, in order to prevent this problem that generate multiplier effects on health. Dr. Manual Lezaeta Acharan in his book "Natural Medicine to everyone," says the internal fever is one of the most serious problems that contribute to disease multiply. One of the best ways to avoid this mismatch and many others, is completely avoiding fast foods or "junk".
These and other important issues are addressed at the International Holistic Health we will develop the following December 15, 2012 worldwide via Internet, will cover these and many other issues of theoretical and practical form will be held in the 20 academic hours classes. If you want to be part of this program take advantage of the great opportunity that the Institute IIHH for its acronym in English (International Institute of Holistic Health) offering to the Hispanic community.

[1] * The gas (also called soda or carbonated beverage) is a flavored beverage fizzy (carbonated) and without alcohol. These drinks usually consumed cold, more refreshing and to prevent the loss of carbon dioxide d, which gives the effervescence. Started manufacturing of carbonated drinks in New York in 1832, when John Matthews invented an apparatus for mixing water with carbon dioxide gas, and also add flavor. The popularity of the beverage business born carbonated water mixed with flavors of choice, called soda fountains. Flavors such as orange, lemon, grapes were in high demand. At that time the gas is also sold in pharmacies as a remedy to cure various ailments. In 1885, W. B. Morrison a pharmacist owner of "Old Corner Drug Store" in Waco, Texas, developed a distinguished flavor in your soda fountain. Your name Dr. Pepper, the oldest gas, which is still sold in the United States. Almost at the same time (1886), another pharmacist named John S. Pemberton, experiment with herbs and spices as African kola nut and coca leaf in the city of Atlanta. The result, he named a drink Coca Cola. Pemberton died just a year and a half has been introduced to the market the new product. In 1898, a North Carolina pharmacist Caleb Bradham, looking for a tonic to the headache which adds pepsin. In 1903, registered the trademark of this drink as "Pepsi". Web: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bebida_gaseosa
