Ayurveda, Digestion + Meal Spacing

You may have heard from Ayurvedic Tips that you aren’t supposed to eat more than a few times a day. On the other hand, meal stacking is a common occurrence today, and even recommended by doctors.

Some of the channels are gross… like the Big One. The Big One is called the Maha Vaha Srota and it is the mouth to anus channel.
