“Therefore, most aspects of bodily health and illness depend on the digestion of food: if the food is digested well and with ease, then the person is healthy; but if there are digestive problems, then the person becomes weak and can end up in danger, G-d forbid.
Good digestion occurs when the food consumed is not excessive, and when it is easily digestible. If you eat a lot and the stomach is full, then digestion becomes difficult, for then the stomach is not able to expand and contract, as it should by nature, to properly process the food.”
-Shulchan Aruch, chapter 32
