Lesson #1
Preserving life is a matter of what we eat so food and drink are the nourishment of life. For this reason, nourishment should be considered a special daily supplement to one’s life that should not be neglected nor abused. The stomach and spleen receives the nutrients that send the pure liquid (pure liquid that supports animal life, that becomes blood) to the organs and viscera, just as the grass and trees grow by the means of the ch’i of the earth. In other words, Taking care of the stomach is of the utmost importance Yojokun (way of nurturing life) and taking care of the body. Ancients always set limits to their food intake in order to not disrupt the balance, and this nourished their health. You always must be aware of what goes into your mouth. The ancients often said ‘’disasters go out through the mouth and disease comes in through it.’’ Food and drink should be used to extinguish hunger and thirst. Once the desire is fulfilled, you should stop eating. Control yourself and set limits.
Another great point he made is that you should write down all the things that consistently make you ill, and then avoid them. A consistent malady becomes a chronic illness. Some will make you ill immediately and others over time. Avoid both at all costs.
