Loss of Appetite
Most of the medicines used to increase appetite often end up reducing it completely. Things that are too salty, sour, or spicy; hot spices, herbs, roots, or barks soaked in alcohol and taken to improve digestion, can sometimes be useful if taken at the right time, in the right condition, and in the right amount. Everyone knows from their own experience or by seeing others that these things can sometimes have a good effect. But, as with all medicines, if taken in large amounts or too frequently, they can do more harm than good. Regularly using these things can cause more damage, especially if the person gets used to them. What’s the point of increasing your appetite for just a day or two if it disappears again after that? Just like food, some of which is absorbed by the body and some is expelled, these substances also don’t provide any nutrition. Slowly, they build up in the body and cause serious diseases. These issues don’t happen in the intestines, where they could be removed with laxatives, or in the blood, where they could be removed by bleeding. These are common misunderstandings. Anyone with basic knowledge of physiology knows that nothing stays in the blood for long, and the intestines also get cleared regularly. It’s actually the solid parts of the body that undergo changes.
People who use these things occasionally in small amounts don’t harm themselves much. Sometimes, salty fish or sour foods, especially in the summer, can have a good effect, particularly when there’s a craving for these things, and the desire goes away after eating them. But if the craving comes back quickly, it’s a sign that these things are harmful.
The best solution, apart from regular exercise and spending time in fresh air, is drinking water regularly. In the morning, especially one or two hours before breakfast, and again one or two hours after every meal, and before going to bed at night, drink a glass of water. Drink moderately during meals, and if you eat heavily, drink small amounts of water at a time.
