Improve digestion
In order to be used by the body, food must be broken down into molecules small enough to cross the cell membranes of the gut. This process is known as digestion. These small molecules are then absorbed into the blood and lymph.
Poor digestion plays a role in many common diseases, either by directly contributing to symptoms or by exacerbating those due to other causes.
The digestive system needs to be working well to absorb the nutrients in food and to avoid the absorption of food molecules that are not properly broken down.
Natural levels of stomach acid and digestive enzymes decrease with age. Food excesses, chemical use, and stress also contribute to the wear and tear on the digestive system. You have to improve digestion and you can help alleviate many disease conditions and promote optimum health.
