When improper DIGESTION affects the way you feel ...
... discomfort may not be your only problem
It is hard to live with gas, bloating, belching, and heartburn. But improper digestion also means, that your body may not be getting the full nutritional value out of the food you eat. Most of the nutrients your body needs come all bound up in proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Proper digestion breaks down these complex forms into simple substances your body can utilize. Digestive discomfort is often a sign of imbalance and improper functioning at some stage of the digestive system. Even if your diet supplies all the nutrients necessary for optimum health, inefficient digestion could result in dietary deficiencies.
Over the years, science has acquired a significant understanding of the processes that occur in the digestive tract. For example, we know healthy digestive function depends upon the presence of adequate amounts of stomach acids, enzymes, co-enzymes, and a group of beneficial microorganisms called "intestinal flora." We also know that if theses elements are not functioning effectively, the delicate harmony of the entire system can become upset and lead to discomfort and a reduction of nutrients available for absorption.
Looking at indigestion from this viewpoint, the obvious solution to digestive problems would be to restore harmony be rebalancing the elements involved. Instead, we too often resort to remedies like antacids that may temporarily relieve symptoms, but can also contribute to the problem. The cause, however, remains unaffected and ultimately could impact overall health if digestive disfunction is prolonged. Therefore, you need to deal with the causes, not just the symptoms!
Many people believe that indigestion is just the result of excess stomach acid, when in reality, it may be caused by an acid insufficiency or lack of important enzymes needed to properly complete the digestion processes. Excesses of alcohol, certain drugs, waterborne chemicals, food preservatives, and pesticides can all destabilize the harmony of the digestive system and contribute to potentially serious problems. Age and illness can also undermine efficient digestion, as does stress.
