Aquarius - Medical Astrology Sun Sign AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 18):

No one loves salads, greens, and all that healthy food such as mung beans and alfalfa sprouts like you do! Of course, your downfall or weakness from a medical astrology perspective, is that you're the world's biggest STARCH eater, too. Potatoes, bread, macaroni and cheese, spaghetti, and pastas of ANY kind, are your favorite foods in life, Aquarius. And while this is an excellent food group in moderation, I'm afraid you're not moderate at all in this area. You could eat starches morning, noon and night and forget about the rest of the food groups, entirely! No one is trying to take away your delicious pasta salad, or say you can't have any more macaroni and cheese--but I'm suggesting that you become more moderate about it, instead. Starch for an Aquarian is a sure way to put them to sleep shortly after the meal they eat! You don't have narcolepsy (people who fall asleep any time day or night without reason), you have starches that make you sleepy!! Well, how in the heck can that happen? Sounds ridiculous doesn't it? Let me explain. Starch, when it enters a body, requires the MOST amount of fresh oxygen, which is carried on the backs of our red blood cells, in order to chemically break it down so that the body can utilize it. Aquarians love their starches, so they over-eat on them and exclude the salad greens, the fresh fruit and whole grains. The body is alerted that you've eaten a huge bunch of pasta, so it "calls" a lot more red blood cells that are carrying fresh oxygen, to the stomach region to begin the long-term process of breaking the starches down. As this happens, Aquarians begin to get sleepy about 30 minutes to an hour after eating. You get groggy, you can't think clearly, you yawn a lot (did you know that yawning is the body's way of getting fresh, extra oxygen into the body???), your eyes go half closed and all you want to do is lay down and take a nap!! This is very bad for Aquarians particularly if they're DRIVING or flying a plane or doing some other skill that requires you to be mentally alert. If you're feeling blah or groggy, then accidents happen--a car wreck, you lose a finger in a machine or some other awful injury. All because you ate too big of a load of starch foods and the oxygen went to your stomach and not to your brain to keep you alert or awake enough!! Italian mothers everywhere are wailing on this one right now! They favor starch foods more than most! Now, it looks like I'm taking this away from them, but I'm not--not really. Moderation is the key here and I'll bet Italian mothers make a mean antipasto salad and know a lot of fruit dishes to go with it, too! Check out Alternative Medicine remedies for information available on this condition so that you can help yourself. Ideally, you can do most of it yourself by not eating starches every day, such as bread, pasta, spaghetti, macaroni and cheese or potatoes in some form. Choose items from other food groups, too. Be sure you have a salad and for dessert, a fresh fruit. Then, not all the oxygen is going to go to your stomach and leave your poor brain deprived and you groggy!
