You need a sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach
it is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a suffice
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
