Good digestion, the immunity glove for winter!
Poor digestion can cause more than stomach discomfort! Chronic fatigue, premature ageing, arthritis, poor skin, dull and limp hair, toxicity, allergies, cancer, and many other diseases can be a consequence of inadequate digestion.
Poor digestion results in the body’ s inability to breakdown food and absorb nutrients, this leads to an accumulation of toxins which results in general health and immunity decline.
Elizabeth Lipski, C. C. N., author of Digestive Wellness says that the best diet in the world won’ t help if you aren’ t digesting your food properly.
Digestion is the engine room of the body itself, and paramount to the body’ s immune system. The purpose of the gastrointestinal system is to break food down small enough to be absorbed in the form of nutrients, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants which build and fuel our organs and bodily functions, strengthen our immunity and eliminate waste products and toxins.
The most crucial area in the body with regard to general immunity lies in the digestive tract. The lining of the intestine has the largest mass of lymphoid tissue.
Gut-associated lymphoid tissue or GALT is made up of several types of lymphoid tissue that store immune cells that both attack and defend the body from pathogens. Because GALT is the largest lymph system in the human body, the digestive tract has the most profound effect of all the internal organs on overall immunity.
Symptoms of poor digestion may include abdominal pain, allergic symptoms, belching, feeling bloated, a burning sensation after eating, chronic bowel irritation, chronic fatigue, constipation, diarrhoea, gas, rumbling noises, insomnia, joint and muscle pain, nausea, skin disorders, sugar cravings, and vomiting.
The Other Option’ s DIGESTIVE REMEDY Siberian Pine Nut Oil naturally stimulates the release of digestive hormones which boost digestion and increase the absorption of nutrients. Additionally The Other Option’ s DIGESTIVE REMEDY Siberian Pine Nut Oil is a natural anti-inflammatory which strengthens and heals the inflamed or ulcerated lining of the oesophagus, stomach and digestive tract, all of which are factors that inhibit digestion further.
