Digestive System
Your health is often govern by your digestive system. Everything you eat travels from the stomach to the intestines where nutrients are absorbed and waste is eliminated via the bowel. Food is broken down by digestive enzymes and "good and friendly" bacteria in the gut.
If your digestive system is out of sync, due to poor diet, stress and over dose of antibiotics, food intolerance or toxin overload, food remains semi digested and problem such as leaky gut irritable bowel syndrome, nausea and bloating arise. Food itself will become toxins if not digested properly.
How to boost your digestive system:
Only eat when you are hungry and do not overeat or eat large meals late in the evening
Take time over meals to teat mouthful and properly and slowly
