This removes the "draggy" feeling, and so helps the stomach and Intestine that when they squeeze or contract their contents, these contents are carried along their course without having any high hills to climb. In order that all the food will be out of the stomach before the next meal Is eaten, these thin Individuals whenever possible, lie on the right side for filtcen minutes just before lunch and before dinner.
