If I
asked what is your body's #1 "hot spot" for creating health
and avoiding all types of disease, what would you say?
"My stomach?"
Nope.
"Oh, my colon, right? You
always talk about how important the colon is."
Wrong
again.
The
answer is your small intestine.
In
the big scheme of things, there is no other system that is more
important. With all the systems in our bodies, all the functions, all
the actions going on every second, the small intestine is almost always
where all health and all disease begins and ends. Viruses
notwithstanding. What you habitually put into your mouth can help you fight
off viruses...or invite them in for a backyard barbeque.
Tennis anyone?
The
small intestine is only called small because the "tube" is not as
wide as the large intestine (colon).
The
inside wall of it is covered with thousands of little finger-like
structures called villi and each villi is covered with hair-like
microvilli--this is where your nutrients get absorbed.
End
to end your small intestine is about 20 feet long! (Versus the
"short" 5-foot large intestine.)
And
if you opened it up and spread it out flat with all the little villi and
microvilli lying individually on their sides it would cover the surface of
an ENTIRE tennis court!
Yeah,
nothing small about that.
Where the action is
The
small intestine is where the real digestive action is. Although your
stomach does the initial breakdown of foods, the crucial point is just
AFTER this.
The
vital functions of your small intestine are to:
1- finish the digestion of
your food and
2- absorb nutrients
Here's
the amazing process how it does that:
When
your food leaves your stomach, it's supposed to be a thick, pea soup-like
mass called chyme -- pronounced 'kime.'
As
the chyme drips through, digestive enzymes are secreted by your small intestine,
plus bile from the liver (thanks to the gallbladder) and juice and enzymes
from your pancreas.
At
this point proteins are fully broken down into their amino acids, fats are
reduced to fatty acids and carbohydrates become simple sugars.
In
other words, your food is ready to become YOU -- nutrients that your body
can use for cell energy and growth. (You are quite literally what you eat!)
Then
your small intestine absorbs the nutrients through tiny blood vessels in
its microvilli.
The
small intestine is BRILLIANT -- it knows what nutrients you need the most
and absorbs those first. Then it will take up any remaining carbs, proteins
and fats last.
The
nutrients are put into your blood, sent off to the liver to have any toxins
filtered out, and then transported all over your body.
Once
digestion and nutrient absorption is done, the food (now just some fiber,
waste and water) moves to the large intestine where fiber is broken down,
water is absorbed and...an upcoming bowel movement is created.
Don't screw up a good thing
This
is a magnificent process that is vital to your health and life. Your body
needs nutrients to function and, well, to even exist at all.
So
why would anyone want to screw up this crucial process?
But
that's what millions of people do every single day.
You
see, the hard to digest, acid waste-creating "convenient" junk we
humans eat today have put a tremendous strain on ALL of our digestive
organs that can and can lead to illness, disease and early death.
It
ends up being a domino effect -- here's what I mean:
The domino effect of disease
creation
When
your stomach has trouble breaking down what you've eaten, it has to
repeatedly secrete acid. This is how it attempts to jump-start digestion
that has been halted or slowed.
All
that acid production causes many or all of the nutrients in your food to be
destroyed, and makes for LOTS of excess acid that can come sliding up your
throat.
That
means that your chyme is not broken down like it should be when it leaves
your stomach. That causes instant stress on your small intestine and
pancreas to do more of the work than they should have to.
It
also means that your body's ability to produce enzymes is pushed, since SO
many are being used up trying to digest this mess inside you.
The
large amount of acid and toxins in your chyme also ruins nutrient
absorption -- instead of just nutrients, the microvilli end up absorbing
LOTS of toxins, which then sail on to your liver.
So
now your liver gets stressed out by filtering more toxins than it's
designed to. It can only do so much, and eventually toxins end up staying
in your blood and getting transported everywhere.
That
leads to inflammation all over your body. Since your blood vessels go
everywhere, your entire body is fair game.
And
you become the perfect home for obesity, sickness and chronic disease to
flourish.
Keep things running smoothly
It's
essential to keep ALL of your digestive organs running smoothly, especially
the all-important small intestine.
Your
health and your life depend on it.
Luckily, it's also easy to do.
It takes just 2 steps:
1- Eat foods that are easily
digested together, and concentrate more on alkaline foods that come with
their own enzymes.
2- Give your body a little
enzyme help if necessary.
The digestive health
system can help take care of step 1. Check it out here.
In
my #1 best-selling
digestive health system, I show you which foods are alkaline vs. acid
forming and how to combine ALL foods in order to make your whole system
work smoothly.
That
means just the right amount of stomach acid and other enzymes being
secreted, foods broken down like they should be, less toxins to strain the
small intestine and liver, and more nutrients to help make for a healthier
YOU.
It
also means that your body will get some enzyme help from your foods, so your
organs don't have to do ALL the work.
And
for step 2:
If you're someone who has not been kind to your body (be honest) and has
likely taxed your enzyme-making ability, Digestizol Max
can help give your digestive system a much-needed enzyme boost.
Digestizol
Max's 14
plant-based enzymes help to break down all the different foods you've
eaten and conserve your body's enzyme supply (or pinch-hit if your enzyme
making ability is already impaired). Click here to
learn more.
Don't
wait until you're sick and in pain to do something about keeping your
digestion smooth. By then it might be too late.
Respect
your digestive "hot spot" (your small intestine) as well as ALL
your other digestive organs and they will return the favor handsomely for
many years to come.
Because,
as you now know from this brief biology lesson, you literally ARE what
you eat.
To
your health,

great for years!!
Sherry,
I had been diagnosed with IBS
since the 70's. I was given medication for it. Through the years, I have
had to take laxatives. Back in those days, you did not have internet and
could not find any help.
Back in 2007, I went for tests
and was diagnosed with GERD and given that purple pill to swallow and was
told I had IBS also. Also, the doctor wrote a prescription for GI cocktail
which I had to take daily too.
After talking this medication
for a while, I knew there had to be a better answer than doctor pushing
pills down your throat.
But in 2008, I was on the
internet that day and found your Great Taste, No Pain plan
and ordered it. I received it and could not believe how I was eating
incorrectly and combining my food wrong. No wonder so many people have
digestive problems!
It took several weeks for my
body to readjust itself before I got better. I have been on your plan so
long; I do not have to look at the book. I have it memorized.
I love your recipe book. My
favorite is Sherry's Outrageous Spaghetti Sauce. I love it! I half it, and
put the rest in different containers to eat another time. I love your
recipes I have made, my mother-in-law is borrowing them right now.
I thank the Lord I found your
website. I wish more people could find about you.
Thank you so much for doing research
and showing people how to end their digestive troubles.
Marilynn
