A Handful is a Healthy Portion
Written by John Joseph Immel |
The proper portion of food is one anjali. An anjali is the volume of your two hands making a cup together. After eating, the stomach should be 1/3 food, 1/3 liquid, and 1/3 empty. Empty space in the stomach gives the stomach room to digest. Overstuffing the stomach causes partially digested food to enter into the duodenum too quickly and leads to ulcers.
