The human body is made up of five elements – space, air, fire, water and earth. Did you realize that your food is also made up of the five elements? Everyone has heard the saying, ”You are what you eat,” but did you know that eating applies not only to food, but to what you hear, touch, see, taste and smell? Not only is what you eat important, but so is how you eat.
In this class you will gain an understanding of your digestive fire and learn about simple eating practices and tips for improving digestion.
