Managing Health and Healing -
Simple Truth 3
Healthy Digestion
Maintains A Healthy Body
|
|
Most people would rather not think or talk about matters
of digestion. They choose to deal with the consequences
of neglecting this aspect of their health - quietly.
People pay a terrible price when their digestion goes wrong!
When it strikes, you will consider almost anything to get relief.
Unfortunately, most of the time people deal with the symptoms
of indigestion - not the problem.

People are discovering that they are far better off restoring the digestive process.
Digestion is the cornerstone of Radiant Health and, it is an elegant process.
Each time food is taken in:
- Chewing breaks into smaller pieces
- The food liquefied and treated with acid
- An army of
microbes process the liquefied food until it can be be
absorbed through the intestinal wall
- The wastes are
collected, combined with indigestible food left over
from the last meal and
eliminated.
The body doesn't benefit from the food we
eat; it relies on the digested nutrients it can
absorb. Digestion is an intricate dance between enzymes,
stomach acids and microbes. One partner preparing the
food for the next with one goal - provide absorbable
nutrients to keep the body strong and healthy.
The digestive tract is a twisting, turning tube with
pouches and valves. The functions are:
- Provide an orderly path for food to follow
- Create nutrition to
sustain the body
- Separate caustic agents from delicate body structures
- Protect the body from toxic substances, infectious micro-organisms and parasites
- Gather the remnants of undigested food, toxic substances, infectious organisms, parasites and the wastes produced by the body
- Quickly expel these toxins and wastes to avoid contaminating the body
DIGESTION IS MORE COMPLEX THAN IT MAY SEEM.
It is an intricate dance between enzymes, stomach acids and microbes. One partner preparing the food for the next with one goal - a strong, healthy body.
ENZYMES
The digestive tract converts food into nutrition to sustain the body. The processes involved in the conversion of food to nutrition are fully dependent on the interplay of digestive enzymes, stomach acids and microbes.
Dr. Howell, (Enzyme Nutrition, Avery Publishing, WaWe NJ., 1985) writes: "Enzymes are protein molecules that catalyze chemical reactions. All living things depend on the swift completion of thousands of biochemical, enzyme reactions every hour."
We are completely dependent on these metabolic enzymes for virtually every body function: energy, alertness, memory, thought and hundreds of other activities are totally dependent on enzymes.
Dr. Edward Howell identifies three types of enzymes: digestive enzymes, metabolic enzymes and food enzymes which exist in raw, unprocessed, uncooked food.
Enzymes, while very powerful, are fragile. Cooking and processing foods destroys the raw food enzymes. Dr. Howell writes " … a diet composed of cooked and processed food, in which the natural enzymes are destroyed, leads to enzymes insufficiency and stresses the organs which secrete enzymes.
Enzymes may be damaged or excreted during the process of digestion and elimination. We depend on raw food enzymes to replace these damaged and lost enzymes. A lifetime of eating "dead foods" is a contributing factor …" in the decline from radiant health.
The short version is: if your diet consists of cooked, packaged, processed and preserved foods, Dr. Howell advocates supplementing your diet with enzymes.
MICROBES
Researchers estimate that the intestines of one human contain more beneficial microbes than there are people on earth.
Babies are born with "germ free" intestines, rapidly acquiring an army of beneficial microbes from their mothers during and shortly after birth because, without this natural microbial inoculation, the newborn cannot complete digestion and will die of starvation.
Once established, the relationship with this vast internal ecosystem of microbes, called intestinal flora, influences every person's physical health, mental health and longevity.
During digestion, food is subjected to the action of enzymes, stomach acids and gastric juices;
this partially digested food (called chyme) is turned over to this army of microbes to create the
nutrition that supports the body and keeps it healthy.
| The support includes: |
- Regularity
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Gas, Bloating & Belching
- Liver Function
|
- Vitamin Uptake
- Mineral Uptake
- Calcium absorption
- B Vitamins production
|
- Cholesterol
- Immune Function
- Intestinal Function
|
Disruptions in any or all of these functions is an indication
that these crucial friendly microbes are out of balance. |
|
Your friendly intestinal microbes can be damaged by:
|
- Packaged & Processed Food
- Stress
- Antibiotics
- Alcohol
- Chlorinated Water
|
- Food Additives
- Food Preservatives
- Constipation
- Prescriptive Drugs
- OTC Medications
|
- Birth Control Pills
- HRT
- Pesticides
- Pollution
- X - Rays
|
*Probiotics, from the Greek "for life", is the science of administering living, friendly microbes to promote and maintain the health of the digestive ecosystem. The regular use of a probiotic* supplement is one way to assure a vital population of intestinal micro-flora.

Insanity is: doing the same thing
over and over, expecting a different outcome.
You must change the things you
do to change the way things are.
