Enzymes and Digestion Enzymes, well the truth is we stop reproducing them after we are 30 years old.... What are they.. and how does it effect my digestion?? Well the food we eat is exposed to a cocktail of digestive enzymes. Each enzyme speeds up the reactions that break the food into useable molecules, the Role of digestion is to acquire energy by digesting food into small molecules. And then absorbing these molecules. This starts in our mouth  with our saliva and chewing...and the bulk of our food is broken down in  in our stomach and small intestine. Absorption is when molecules pass into our bloodstream. Assimilation is when those molecules enter our cells. Elimination of waste is the job of the colon lymph and lungs, kidneys, and skin.

Why detox the liver?....Most of what you put into your mouth isn't exactly pure. Plants are sprayed with chemicals, animals are injected with potent hormones and lots of foods are genetically engineered with so much stuff that you can't imagine.. I can go one for hours!!!!! What's that mean to us? For one thing, it means these toxins enter your body and can potentially destroy tissues or damage c ... ells. It's the liver's job to cope with these toxic chemicals as they travel from the environment via food into your body, almost like a drug smuggler trying to make it past customs. How does the liver do this? In your liver, there are rows of liver cells separated by space. Together, those spaces act like a sieve through which the blood flows. This sieve—like a customs agent finding out what illegal goods you're bringing across the border—removes toxic substances from the bloodstream. Those toxins can come in the form of everything from drugs and alcohol to chem...

Apple cider vinegar can aid in weight loss. For daily weight management, add 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to 16 ounces of water. This concoction can be sipped throughout the day. Data shows some limited, yet significant, weight loss benefits from sustained daily intake of acetic acid (which is a main ingredient in apple cider vinegar). In a 2009 study published in Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, it was found that subjects that consumed acetic acid for 12 weeks experienced significant declines in body weight, abdominal fat, waist circumference and triglycerides. Triglycerides contribute to the bad cholesterol that we want to avoid. Apple cider vinegar will balance your entire inner body system. The body constantly strives to achieve a state of equilibrium. Apple cider vinegar helps the body maintain a healthy alkaline pH level. Research shows that higher acid levels (lower pH level) leads to a lack of energy and higher incidences of infection. Hence, my desi...
