Think of your belly as a wood-burning stove. It takes just the right amount of kindling, a few well placed logs, and enough air and space to stoke the fire.

If stack too many logs on at once, or not enough for a period of time, the fire will go out.

It is the same with our digestive system.

(Also- note that if you throw a big bucket of ice water onto the fire, it will for out!)
