Greetings

A Happy, Healthy Digestive Tract - Acid or Alkaline?

 

Maintaining digestive balance is essential to overall great health!

 

 

God created a unique "dance" in your digestive tract by making the stomach acid, the small intestine alkaline and the colon acid. This balance is very important to optimal health. If you are just embarking on your health journey, you may need supplemental nutrition to help regenerate this balance.

 

So what can you do to keep your digestive system 

happy and healthy? 

 Balancing Bowel pH is key!

 

Probiotics:  Friendly bacteria in the digestive system occur mainly in the colon and small intestine and are critical to carry out useful functions, including providing protection against potentially harmful bacteria.  It is estimated that the actual number of bacterial cells in the digestive system at any one time is about 100 trillion cells!

Zymex:  This formula can serve a number of beneficial functions including improved detoxification.  In essence, it takes the load off of the liver.  This is especially valuable in women who suffer from breast tenderness and swelling.  Another key area to be aware of is for those who suffer from acute IBS, Colitis, etc.  Another beneficial formula for further support in these cases is Okra Pepsin.

Zypan, or Betaine HcL, or Digestzyme:  These formulas are especially important to acidify the stomach.  Without appropriate stomach acid, food will ferment in the stomach potentially causing acid reflux (GERD) or heartburn.  Improperly digested food in the stomach will cause additional problems in the small and large intestine, such as bloating, foul smelling gas, constipation, diarrhea, depression, anxiety, on and on.

Further, an alkaline large intestine can interfere with protein digestion/absorption and assimilation of various nutrients like calcium, iron and other minerals.

Fiber:  I won't belabor this point since it has been the topic of a couple of recent newsletters (go to the eNewsletter archives at www.nutritionaldirection.com to review these).  One point I will repeat is that supplemental fiber is so important to create short chain fatty acids which are important to help prevent colon cancer.

From the Biblical Book of Isaiah, Chapter 55, Verse 11: 

 "So shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it."

 

Wow, what an absolute PROMISE from God!  There is no one I trust to do what he says like my God - the One and Only true God!
