Top 5 things for a Healthy Digestion
1.    Digestive enzymes – Intolerance Complete
·         Digestive enzymes digest all food, and our bodies make digestive enzymes mainly in the pancreas, the stomach, the small intestine, and the mouth.
·         There are 22 known digestive enzymes with names that end on “-ase” such as:
o    Amylase (digests carbohydrates)
o    Lipase (digests fats)
o    Protease (digests proteins)
o    Disaccharides (digest sugars)
·         Enzymes are essential for every chemical reaction in the body and for the normal activity of cells, tissues, fluids, and organs.
·         All food, vitamins, minerals, hormones require enzymes to be processed and absorbed.

2.    A Refrigerated probiotic-*  Resistant to stomach acid and bile  Dr. Formulated 90 billion 
·         Probiotics are live microorganisms (in most cases, bacteria) that are similar to the beneficial microorganisms naturally found in the human gut.
·         Our gut is home to over 500 bacterial species
·         These “good bacteria” are used to prevent and alleviate many different conditions, but particularly those that affect the gastrointestinal tract.
·         Only live cultures are true probiotics; look for high Bifidobacterium in a probiotic

3.     Fiber- Raw Fiber Garden of Life — High quality Psyllium free fiber
·         Psyllium Free fiber maintains healthy digestion and colon care, which is simply challenging to do through diet.

4.     Ionic Magnesium Citrate-Calm- by Natural Vitality
·         Magnesium and minerals aid in digestion, calm and relax our muscles and mind, and balance our minerals (electrolytes) in our body.
·         Magnesium deficiency is common cause of chronic constipation and is key to healthy bowl movements.

5.    Omega Oils
·         Healthy fats lubricate our intestines.
·         When we fuel ourselves with health fats our body is able to release the unhealthy stored fats and learns to burn fat, not muscle.

What Are Electrolytes and How Do They Affect Your Digestion?

                    What Are Electrolytes and How Do They Affect Your Digestion? We've all heard that electrolytes are essential for staying hydrated, especially during intense physical activities. But these essential minerals do more than just help us replenish fluids. They are also important for regulating nerve and muscle function, balancing pH levels, and aiding in digestion. So, what exactly are electrolytes, and how do they affect your digestion? In this post, we will explore these essential minerals and their importance in maintaining a healthy digestive system. Firstly, let's define what electrolytes are. Electrolytes are charged minerals that conduct electrical impulses in our body, helping to regulate various functions. Electrolytes are primarily found in bodily fluids like blood, sweat, and urine. Some of the most important electrolytes include sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and chloride. Now, let's talk about how electrolytes affect your digestion. Elect

Histamines: How They Impact Digestion

   Histamines: How They Impact Digestion   Histamines are molecules that play an important role in our immune system. They are responsible for triggering an inflammatory response to protect us from harmful foreign substances. However, histamines can also have a negative impact on our digestive system if they are not properly regulated. In this blog post, we will be shedding light on the truth about histamines, what they are, and how they can affect your digestion. We will also discuss ways to manage histamine levels to improve gastrointestinal health.   As mentioned, histamines are a natural component of the immune system. They are produced by mast cells, which are found in various tissues, including the gastrointestinal tract. When the body encounters a potential threat, such as an allergen or pathogen, mast cells release histamines into the bloodstream. This causes the blood vessels to dilate and increases blood flow to the affected area, leading to swelling, redness, and oth

The Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems

  The Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems Understanding the human body involves understanding the systems that keep it functioning optimally. Two of these systems are the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, which are integral parts of the autonomic nervous system. They ensure the body's internal functions run smoothly and adapt to various situations - whether we're calm and relaxed or facing a stressful event. The sympathetic nervous system, often referred to as our 'fight or flight' response, kicks into gear during times of stress, increasing heart rate and blood pressure, while diverting blood flow from non-essential functions like digestion to more critical tasks. This can result in slowed digestion and alterations in the gut microbiome. Conversely, the parasympathetic nervous system, or our 'rest and digest' response, predominates in times of relaxation. This system promotes digestion by stimulating the production of digestive enzyme
