Are You Digesting What You Eat?
When I first started studying nutrition and natural healing, the saying was, Death begins in the colon. Now, with more research it is more correctly said that death begins with bad digestion. In fact the cure of disease really begins with better nutrition and more efficient ways to combine those nutrients. Why?
First of all lets talk why 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.

Carbohydrates begin digesting in the mouth, not so with proteins. Chewing proteins alerts nerves in 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. HCL stimulates pepsinogen to turn into pepsin.
This is because carbohydrates begin digesting in the mouth, not so with 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. HCL stimulates pepsinogen to turn into pepsin, so it is a crucial part of the digesting proteins process.
The small intestine is the major digestive organ in the body. It begins at the pyloric sphincter, a valve-like gate way leading from the stomach to the duodenum, the first section of the small intestine, and ends at the ileocecal valve. If foods have been combined correctly there will be less stress in the duodenum.

If foods have been combined correctly there is less stress in the duodenum and better health.
When putrefied food stays in the system long enough, the body becomes overloaded with real debris. The immune system is overloaded trying to keep waste clean enough to store in the body.
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, is slowed immeasurably when the body gets bogged down with days old undigested waste. The body begins starving for nutrition and the aging process accelerates. Over many years, illness sets in and the body will most likely be overweight.
Once putrefied food stays in the system long enough, the body becomes overloaded with real debris. The immune system is overloaded trying to keep waste clean enough to store in the body.

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.
