First of all lets talk why proper foods and the right combinations make all the difference, especially when a person shows symptoms of disease. There has to be a root cause of any disease, right? So, lets get down to the bottom of it.
First of all why is it that proper foods and the right combinations make all the difference, especially when a person shows symptoms of disease?
We can say digestion begins in the mouth; and actually, that process starts with what the nose smells. Think of what happens when you smell turkey cooking. Your mouth begins to salivate, right? Salivary amylase in the mouth begins the breakdown of carbohydrates. That process, with carbohydrates should be completed in the small intestine.
The process of digesting proteins takes several hours and will only be confused if sugars, fats and carbohydrates like breads are in the mix.
So then, carbohydrates begin digesting in the mouth. The chewing process of proteins alerts the stomach to begin creating hydrochloric acid, imperative in the digestion of proteins. When HCL is at a low, something that happens to most people as they age, then the other component in digesting proteins, pepsinogen wont work properly.
The process of digesting proteins takes several hours and will only be confused if sugars, fats and carbohydrates like breads are in the mix. So depressing, people with poor digestion should never eat sandwiches.
Small bits of food at a time are digested in the duodenum, the first segment of the small intestine. The pyloric sphincter, the gatekeeper between the stomach and the small intestine only allows small amounts in at a time so that the digestive juices, enzymes produced by the pancreas and the liver have time to be produced, meet in the hepatopancreatic duct and travel to the duodenum through the hepatopancreatic ampulla.
Small bits of food at a time are digested in the duodenum, the first segment of the small intestine. The pyloric sphincter, the gatekeeper between the stomach and the small intestine only allows small amounts in at a time so that the digestive juices, enzymes produced by the pancreas and the liver have ample time to be produced, meet in the hepatopancreatic duct, travel to the duodenum through the hepatopancreatic ampulla.
Even if medicine suppresses the body response, let’s say acid reflux which is really an alert that something is wrong and needs the owners attention, the underlying cause is still there. The underlying cause is bad digestion.
Even if medicine is able to suppress the body’s reaction to any pain or discomfort, the symptom which is really an alert that there is a problem, the underlying cause is still there. The underlying cause is bad digestion. The result is a polluted system, then ensuing illness.
Medicine may suppress the body response, which is really an alarm that something is wrong and needs the owners attention but the underlying cause is still there. The underlying cause is bad digestion.
The assimilating factor in the small intestine, which spans the many feet of the small intestine is aided by the finger-like projections called villi and micro-villi, and is slowed immeasurably when the body gets bogged down with days old undigested waste. Aging occurs at a more rapid pace after years of this abuse because the body is starving for nutrition and tired.
Once this pattern is established, once illness sets in, what should you do? What are the next steps back to health? Eat mostly fruits and vegetables, use a juicer and eat food in combinations that ease the work load of the digestive system.
