Al-Musnad (by Imam Ahmad) narrated that Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe
Wasallam said:
فى "المسند" وغيره: عنه صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال: "ما مَلأَ آدَمِىٌ وِعاءً
شَراً مِنْ بطنٍ، بِحَسْبِ ابنِ آدمَ لُقيْماتٌ يُقِمْنَ صُلْبَه، فإنْ كان لا
بُدَّ فَاعلاً، فَثُلُتٌ لِطَعَامِهِ، وثُلُثٌ لِشَرَابِه، وثُلُثٌ لِنَفَسِه".
"The son of Adam never fills a vessel worse than his stomach. The son of Adam only needs a few bites that would sustain him, but if he insists, one
third should be reserved for his food, another third for his drink and the last third for his breathing."
Based on the valuable & true words of Khaatmun-Nabiyyeen, it is clearly understood that when we shall fill the stomach with food only, there will be
no room for water & air, hence a total collapse of digestion resulting in various ailments; bloating, acidity, respiratory problems, decrease in the
efficiency of major organs including heart, brain, Thyroid, lungs, kidneys, liver, pancreas, spleen & even the reproductive organs.
When the stomach is full, body can't give you the true signals of THIRST,
one of the reasons that people drink lesser water is that they have no room
for the liquid in stomach.
We tried to follow Nabawi advice by reducing the quantity of food to 1/3rd & after few days, the body re-adjusted itself with urge of thirst coming
frequently; but because the habit of drinking enough water was absent, THIRST defined itself as pain in the lower back & sides of lower back (like
a kidney pain). Subhanallah that the pain started to disappear slowly when water was taken & after 10 days, the body entered in a new phase with lesser
desire of food, smart desire of water with good urine output & ultimately, the breathing & heart pulse rate improved, a much more clear skin tone / color. And a significant sign was drop in diastolic (the bottom number) of blood pressure, totally amazing. But it is good to remind here that drinking 5-6 glasses of water at an empty stomach is totally false, almost a crime to your body by your own hands.
Tibb-e-Nabawi Peace Be Upon Him gives you a clear message, follow your beloved Prophet in each
& every aspect of your life, either it is the diet or else, starting from waking up till coming back to the bed, every action should be as per the teachings of Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam.
