There are certain types of foods that are eliminated by the body quicker than others. These
are unprocessed foods containing adequate fiber in foods such as fresh fruits, freshvegetables, and whole grains. If these types of food would be consumed more, bodily
conditions of diseases, constipation and other bowel complications would be avoided. When foods types like beans, peas, green vegetables, fresh fruits of all types, whole grain
breads, and cereals are eaten, an easily managed mass of residue is easily passed through
the intestines. The time frame of 72 hours or less is normal for the remains of the
consumed foods to pass through the bowels with elimination of four to six hours for
extremely healthy people. This short time span is easier on the gastrointestinal tract than
the consumption of white flour and sugar foods that are low fiber residue. The body becomes more active and alert when the body does not consume food for a
period of time. It is believed that three hours or more is adequate between meals before
another meal should be eaten. Of course, this varies on the type of meal that is eaten,
what types of food, and how much is eaten. It is also a natural tendency of the human body to rest while it is digesting food: ten
minutes before consuming a meal and half-an-hour after consuming the meal is thought
to be the most beneficial. The largest meal of the day should be eaten around noon as the
body’s physiological capacities are at their peak during this time. This would be a
problem in today’s world as after the meal, lying down for about half-an-hour may
present a problem. So, many individuals eat their largest meal after work or at the end of
the day when they can relax at leisure.
