Pork increases sweating. One client describes it as, "warming and comfortable like a security blanket." Another says, "After eating it I had food coma, I barely made it through the day, I was very tired and sleepy until night time." Pork is difficult to digest due to its oiliness and density. Heavy meats can turn rancid in the gut if your body is unable to digest them, leading to odorous stools, urine, and sweat. Due to the similarity of mammal meat and human flesh, the type of bacteria that ferment and rot meat in the gut are also harmful to humans. Pair with bitters (kale) and sours (lemon) to improve digestibility of the fat in pork. Garnish with aromatics such as rosemary and mint to improve the digestibility of the heavy protein content. For a very weak client, marinate and cook with pineapple juice or green papaya, as these contain protein digesting enzymes. The pork will taste great, and melt in your mouth. Note: Consuming overcooked or grilled meat has been tied to increased risk of cancer. Buy organic meats, even if this means reducing the consumption of meat. Eating meat increases earwax.
