Focus on Digestion and
Immunity...
Do you suffer from
symptoms of poor digestion: burping, bloating, excessive gas, feeling
tired after eating, abdominal cramps and aches, indigestion and fullness
lasting 2-4 hours after eating, alternative constipation and diarrhoea.
Did you know that if your
digestion is not working well, that you will be more prone to allergies,
rashes, hives, arthritic pain, sinus problems, and all the associated
"dis-ease" states that go along with the inflammation throughout the body
caused by poor gut function.
It has been stated that
90% of our immune system is in the 'gut". The mucosal lining in
the digestive system is our front line defence. If this is in a
poor state, it follows that we will be in poor health. The friendly
bacteria in our digestive system completely determine our immunity.
Interestingly enough, it is also now known that there are more neurons
(nerve cells) in the gut than in the spinal tissue and the peripheral
nervous system - (i.e. all your nerves all round the body). These
produce serotonin - the feel good hormone. No serotonin - no feel
good!
Now do you understand a
little more why when you come to Best Health, or go to almost any
complementary health practitioner that they will ask you about your
bathroom habits - they will ask you "how is your digestion?"
We know as well that stress
negatively affects your digestive function. Higher stress
leads to increased cholesterol, deficiency in essential fatty acids,
deficiency in Hydrochloric acid - (essential for digestion) raised
cortisol (a stress hormone leading to inflammation) salt retention,
insulin resistance (a pre-cursor to diabetes) thyroid and other
endocrine problems, reflux, disturbance in the good bacteria in the gut,
and increase in all the pro-inflammatory factors.
If you do not produce
enough Hydrochloric acid in the stomach, you will not be able to have a
good balance of the helpful bacteria as they are unable to stick to the
gut wall and colonise there as they should.
So how can you encourage
more production. Swedish bitters - that old remedy - taken before
meals, and some slippery elm (available from your health food store)
after meals will help. Not eating on the run is essential.
Apple cider vinegar - two teaspoons in warm water half and hour before
meals can also help. And we have available good quality
digestive enzymes to supplement your diet - these can make a profound
difference to your digestion.
Be aware also not
to drink with eating - it will dilute your digestive juices and lessen
your ability to properly digest your food. Chlorinated water is
also said to neutralise the stomach acids so make sure the water you
drink is pure. See the
Wellness Site for a recommended filtration system.
So your gut is your
first line of defence. Make sure you treat it well to stay healthy
and fit throughout the winter months - and of course is you need some
help and some good advice - come by and see us, or drop us an
email - we will be able
to advise you on the best quality supplementation, assist you in
reducing your stress levels, and help you bring your digestion into
optimal functioning so that you can be bright, healthy and happy.
