Reposted from @certified_orgasmic "Visual appearance of food is an important part of the digestive process. People start to salivate at colorful pictures of food dishes. If the food is pretty and served in a visually pleasing manner the amount of digestive juices secreted is greater than if the food appears distasteful or if it is served in unpleasant surroundings… Food that is simply unfamiliar is often automatically rejected. Some people refuse to eat yellow tomatoes because they “look funny.” Thereby they may miss a wonderful taste sensation. All of this may seem obvious, but it is often overlooked in the physiology of nutrition. The body begins to respond immediately when food is placed within the visual field. If the food itself or the surroundings within which it is presented are unappealing, then actual digestion and assimilation of the blood will be impaired. If, on the other hand, food is artfully presented in a visually pleasing manner, digestion is enhanced. This does not mean that a lot of artifice should be used in preparing food. On the contrary, if food is naturally attractive, such as fruits or vegetables, then a minimum of ‘stage dressing’ is required. Notice that advertisements for steaks and hamburgers prominently feature salad with vegetables, their attractive colors of red, green and yellow to contrast with the distastefully brown or black meat. Digestion, or lack of it, begins with the eyes." Excerpt from The Life Science Health System lesson 20, The Physiology of Digestion A bowl of cherries speaks for itself - no garnish or combinations needed 🍒 I do appreciate all the creative combinations I see from you all - Im inspired daily by the vastness of the fruit and vegetable world! Keep spreading the word that nature is not complex, that it is beautiful and life sustaining. Mother Nature states her Laws clearly... if only we choose to listen 😁🍈🍉🍇🍅🥑🫐🍒🍊 #monomeal #fruity #rawvegan #rawveganmeal #cherries #cherryseason #red #redhead #plantbased #natureisbeautiful #801010 #fruitarian #fruitariandiet #nutrition #awareness #nutritionista #desayunovegano #visualart #veganbreakfastideas #veganlunchideas #tcfry #lifescience #physio https://www.instagram.com/p/CeBWBypAtqz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
