Hello again,
You have some wonderful resources in England - there is Simon Brown who's written several books and has a discussion forum
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...guid=125990411
You can purchase his books here at the shop on cybermacro.
And there is what is called the Macrobiotic Guide, has many wonderful articles and also resources of what is happening in your area.
There are many aspects to learn of mb and I'm sure you will, all in good time. But since digestion is what you mentioned, I would begin by being very conscious of chewing. Try to chew whatever you're eating until it is liquid in your mouth. It is easier to do this when eating alone and of course not doing any other activity, like reading, etc. Saliva is the first aid in your digesting your food, and the more you use it to your advantage, the quicker you will see results.
I'm sure there are also articles on chewing - if you don't succeed in finding more info, I'll look up what I have.
