Relaxation is the absence of unnecessary effort. Resistance to situations and the flow of existence is unnecessary effort. Resistance is non-freedom. This so because resistance is reactionary. Anything reactionary is bound to events. If one is bound one cannot be said to be free.
Protein requires an acid medium in order to be digested. The production of hydrochloric acid is stimulated when protein is consumed and enters the stomach. This activates the enzyme pepsin which has the function of splitting and digesting protein. Incidentally, seasoning your steak with pepper aids digestion because pepper stimulates the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Also if you are dehydrated your body may not have enough water available to produce adequate amounts of hydrochloric acid and you’ll experience problems such as heartburn and reflux.
