It leads to indigestion. It becomes poison. Food eaten when you are hungry is nectar. Unnecessary food is poison. The reason behind this is, when a person is hungry, the digestive juices will be waiting for food. In the contrary, when he is not hungry, the food goes in unwanted. Wanted food is like a pleasant sunshine in winter, but unwanted food is like prickly heat in summer. If you eat on an hourly basis your stomach and soul will suffer. So beware. You have to live for 100 years.
Let’s look at it this way. Suppose you had lunch at 2 pm, and then, because you had company, you had some coffee and cake at 3.30 p.m. What happens then? The food you eat at 2 pm was digested 50% and is in the third stage of digestion. At that time, the cake and coffee join it. What should the intestines do now? Should they continue with their first duty, or put it aside and honor the second guest? By the time the second guest gets digested to 50%, the first meal stagnates, giving off a sour smell. That’s why we get belching, indigestion, acid reflux, etc.
For example, a woman normally cooks four glasses of rice for her family. One day suddenly two guests arrive. She requires two more glasses of rice for them, but by that time their regular quantity of rice is half-cooked. She doesn’t add the extra rice into the pot. Why? Because she knows the first half will become paste and the second half will be half-cooked.
The doctors advise us to eat something every couple of hours to avoid acidity, but by that we develop acidity and gastric troubles. You can’t suppress indigestion problems that way.
Don’t eat unnecessarily. Eat only when you are absolutely hungry. That is the secret of good health and immunity to disease.
