Our digestion can suffer if our stomach is not working optimally
The digestive system can suffer a lot of abuse during our lifetime. Think about it, from morning till night, we put into our mouths whatever is in our arm’s reach: foods, liquids, stimulants, relaxants, and chemicals.
We expect our system to somehow magically grind it all up, sort it out, use the good, eliminate the bad, all without any noise or complaint, and still have lots of energy. And while it is true – our digestive system is supposed to be doing all of this for us – if we abuse it on a regular basis it will stop working optimally. That the human system can withstand the abuse it does has to be one of the miracles of life.
The truth is that many of us are used to the symptoms that signal us that our digestive system needs support. Feeling bloated, tired, gassiness, issues with elimination, nutrient absorptoin, reflux… we might be used to these and not think much about it, but these are signs our digestive system is out of balance.
The apparent stamina of the digestive system is illusory.
Did you know that our digestive system can get out of balance already around two years of age? How we wean our babies and introduce them food is so important.
