Andreas Moritz Quotes

“A meal consisting of foods such as meat, chicken, fish, cheese, or eggs cannot be properly digested later in the day. Oily foods or those fried in oil are too difficult for the body to digest in the evening. Instead, such a meal turns into toxic waste matter in the intestines.”

“An eating disorder occurs when the main meal of the day is consumed in the evening.”

“Boosting self-confidence and self-esteem are important by-products of exercise that stem from an improved oxygen supply to the cells—not to mention the improvement in self-esteem that comes from losing excess fat, seeing muscle definition, feeling stronger, and generally looking great. All this results in greater well-being, both physically and mentally.”

“Eating a balanced vegetarian/vegan diet is one of the most effective ways to prevent the formation of gallstones, heart disease, and cancer. If you feel you cannot solely live on foods that are of vegetable origin, then at least try to substitute red meat with chicken, rabbit, or turkey for some time. Eventually, you may be able to go fully vegetarian. All forms of animal protein decrease the solubility of bile, which is a major risk factor for gallstones.”

“Eating a large meal in the evening is a major contributing factor in the development of gallstones in the liver. Eating food before going to sleep also upsets the digestive functions, for similar reasons.”

“Eating to the point at which you feel completely full, or feel that you cannot eat any more food, is a clear signal that the stomach has reached the point of dysfunction.

Digestive juices in the stomach are only able to combine with ingested food as long as the stomach is at least one-quarter empty. Two cupped handfuls of food (use your own hands to measure) equal about three-quarters the size of your stomach. This is the maximum amount of food the stomach can process at one time. Therefore, it is best to stop eating when you reach the point at which you feel you could still eat a little more.

Leaving the dinner table slightly hungry greatly improves digestive functions and prevents gallstones and disease from arising. ”

“Ideally, there should be at least three hours between eating and bedtime.”

“Our technological and economic advancement has led to an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, which requires additional forms of physical movement to keep our bodies vital and healthy. Regular exercise helps to increase our capacity to digest food, eliminate physical impurities, balance our emotions, promote firmness and suppleness, and strengthen our ability to deal with stressful situations.”

“Since the body cells have to sacrifice some of their own water for the removal of the nerve toxin caffeine, the regular consumption of coffee, tea, or colas causes them to become dehydrated. For every cup of tea or coffee you drink, the body has to mobilize 2 to 3 cups of water just to remove the stimulants, a luxury it cannot afford. This also applies to soft drinks, medicinal drugs, or any other stimulants, including watching TV for many hours. As a rule, all stimulants have a strong, dehydrating effect on the bile, blood, and digestive juices.”

“The boost in energy experienced after drinking a cup of coffee is not a direct result of the caffeine it contains, but rather of the immune system’s attempt to get rid of the caffeine. An overexcited and suppressed immune system fails to provide the 'energizing' adrenaline and cortisol boosts needed to free the body from the acidic nerve toxin, caffeine. At this stage, people say that they are 'used' to a stimulant, such as coffee. So they tend to increase their intake of it to feel the 'benefits'. The often-heard expression 'I am dying for a cup of coffee' reflects the true peril of this situation.”

“The ideal time for evening meals is around 6 p.m., and the ideal bedtime is before 10 p.m. ”

“The liver, especially, seems to benefit from aerobic exercise. The increased availability of oxygen during and after exercise greatly improves circulation and enhances the flow of venous blood from the liver toward the heart. A sedentary lifestyle slows this process, causing blood flow in the liver to stagnate. This, in turn, leads to the development of gallstones. For that reason, regular, non-strenuous exercise can prevent new stones from forming. ”

“Undigested foods always end up congesting the body, first in the intestinal tract, and then in the lymph and blood. This greatly affects the quality of digestion during daytime meals. Gradually, the digestive power, which is determined by balanced secretions of hydrochloric acid, bile, and digestive enzymes, becomes subdued, causing similar side effects to those that result from overeating.”

“When performed in moderation, exercise serves as a great immune stimulant and improves neuromuscular integration in all age groups.”
