In
this issue of the Bowtech Newsletter we will present a scaled down version of
proper food combining, along with some simple, but effective, breathing
techniques/exercises, and maybe a few other things that may help to brighten
your day. Breathing Exercises
Complete Breath
1)
Inhale into the lower abdomen. Let the belly rise outward as
you inhale down into this area. Exhale through the nose. Practice alone 10 times
and then rest. 2)
Breathe into your middle area. This is just below the end/center of
the rib cage. You will feel a little bone there. It is called the Xyphoid process.
Expand outward about 10 times. Exhale through the nose, and then rest. 3)
Breathe into your upper chest. Be sure to feel your collar
bone (clavicles) rise. Expand outward 10 times. Exhale through your nose, and
then rest. This exercise should present little difficulty since this is the way
most people breath most of the time. 4)
Combine these three in a complete breath. Expand from the
bottom (abdomen), reach the pubic bone area if possible, then into the middle
(stomach), then into the upper chest, lifting the collar bones. Exhale by
pushing the breath out through the nose. 5)
Inhale again starting from the abdomen, then expand the
stomach and finally the chest. Practice this five times, then rest. You may feel
light headed at first, but this is normal. Cleansing
Breath 1)
Inhale a complete breath as described above. 2)
Hold the air for several seconds. 3)
Pucker the lips as if whistling. Vigorously exhale through the
mouth a little air at a time. Stop for a moment and then exhale more. 4)
Repeat until all air is exhausted. Do at least 3 times. You
should feel refreshed. Rhythmic
Breath 1)
Inhale a complete breath, reaching your maximum capacity in 6
heartbeats. 2)
Hold this breath for 3 beats. 3)
Exhale to your maximum in 6 beats. 4)
Hold air out for 3 beats. 5)
Repeat 7 times.

Food Combining The principle of food combining is actually just the opposite. The principle is really not combining certain foods. William Hay, an American physician from the early 20th century, conceived this program and not surprisingly, it is now called the Hay diet. The basics of this diet/program/lifestyle are as follows: 1)
Do not mix proteins and starches. Protein requires acid, while
starches require alkaline. When eaten together they neutralize each other for
digestive purposes and cause gas and bloating. 2)
Fruit must be eaten alone on an empty stomach. Wait 20-30
minutes before eating a meal after eating fruit. Why? Fruit digests quickly, and
if other food is there, the proteins will putrefy and the starches will ferment.
In Fit for Life by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond, it is
recommended that no more than 3 different fruits be eaten at one time. 3)
Vegetables can be eaten with anything but fruit. 4)
Do not drink with meals, or drink a small amount after a meal.
