Digestion and GI (Gut) Health
Good Health Depends on a "Happy Gut"
It may surprise you to learn that many health problems and diseases begin in
the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract.
A vigorous digestive system is needed in order to assimilate many nutrients
--- especially minerals --- from food. Good digestive function also helps
prevent bacteria (including H. pylorii, the "ulcer bacteria") and intestinal
parasites from getting a "foot-hold" in the body. The biggest surprise of all
may be that low digestive function, not excess stomach acid, is the most common
cause of GERD, heartburn and "acid indigestion. You can read all about this
seeming paradox here: Low Gastric Acid
Function Self-Test Poor digestion is associated with abnormal bowel
function (constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome), allergies (both
seasonal AND food allergies), autoimmune conditions, GERD and heartburn,
Candida, cancer and a number of other conditions. Getting your digestive tract
into good shape is one of the most important things you can do for your health.
