Q Being busy, I finish meals in 5 minutes and only crave spicy, stimulating food. Is this related to my thin constitution?
A Fast eating and stimulating food lower digestion and absorption, fixing thinness in place. Since the stomach can't break food down enough, absorption doesn't match the amount eaten, so the habit of eating slowly is the starting point for constitutional improvement.
Detailed Answer
Swallowing food quickly without chewing enough increases stomach burden and reduces digestive enzyme secretion. Diets centered on spicy food, instant food, and caffeine irritate the stomach lining and lower appetite further. In the end, little is absorbed and the stomach becomes weaker, repeating a vicious cycle.
Oriental Medicine Clinic Perspective
Oriental medicine treatment restores the weakened stomach so it's less shaken by stimulation, while helping you gradually change your eating speed and composition. You don't have to fix everything at once. Once the stomach stabilizes, eating fast feels less uncomfortable, and meal times naturally lengthen.
