Good Health Begin with a good Digestive System
Good health begins with good digestion. Improve digestion and you will improve your overall health, it’s as simple as that. And if you think you have perfect digestion, think again. In a perfect functioning digestive system, nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream and waste is flushed out in a timely manner. Unfortunately this is not so common in today’s world. Today, with processed foods lacking enzymes and natural fibers and loaded with refined sugars, combined with a more sedentary and less active lifestyle, the time that food sits in our colon is slowing down. In fact, if you are not removing solid waste from your body at least 2x every 24 hours, then you more than likely have a digestive issue that you didn’t even know about.
Include enzymes in your diet. Enzymes are another vital component to support the healthy aging of the cells in the body. Make sure to include a percentage of enzyme-rich raw, pickled and very lightly cooked vegetables and fruits in your daily diet and chew them thoroughly to release their enzymes and to avoid putting any stress on the digestive system. When our foods are getting properly digested and assimilated, circulation of blood and nutrients to the skin is improved, keeping it youthful and wrinkle-free.
