You Are What You Absorb |

You are what you absorb - meaning the whole functioning of your body depends the minute you begin swallowing. We all assume that what we put in our mouth is immediately absorbed - but your mistaken. The lining of your gut, also known as the permeability of the intestine, is what makes a world of difference to your health. : if your stomach is functioning well, you'll benefit from the supplements and healthy foods you're eating.
Let me give you a brief description of absorption: during digestion nutrients, are extracted from food and absorbed by the small intestine. These nutrients are carried through the bloodstream and into the tissues, muslces and organs. When malabsorption begins to develop, it's a sign of inflammation in the intestinal wall, preventing the nutrients from being absorbed.
Imagine your intestine is like a pipe: if this pipe is clogged with fermentation, bad bacteria and toxins, it begins to seep into your blood stream, causing the following problems: - Hair Loss - Abdominal Pain - Food Allergies - Chronic Fatigue - Brain Fog - Itching - Bloatedness - Chronic Rhinitis - Headaches - Difficulty in concentrating - Hormonal Problems
Repairing the intestine can take time but is definitely not impossible. Malabsorption can cause deficiencies of all nutrients, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. The "damage" created by overgrowth of yeast, inflammation, food intolerances, chronic stress and exposure to bad diet can all be repaired through extensive blood tests (this is to spot the problem) and the correct diet wil be administered. |
