Let's start by understanding how the body works. Three major process that must complete a circuit the completion of the first one triggers the onset of the other.

Metabolism; when you eat, your stomach like a kitchen blender breaks down your food into smaller bits, the small intestine further process the food in a wavelike peristalsis into chyme. A semisolid material that can be absorbed.
Absorption - the walls of the intestine absorbs nutrients into the blood stream where it can be transported to the various cells of the body where they serve as food. leaving the roughage to be moved into the large intestine for further absorption before it is passed out as faces.
Flow - the blood stream which is the transport unit of the body carries oxygen, nutrients to various parts of the body including the heart and brain. Until these process are complete the body doesn't get the nutrients it needs to repair, rebuild and protect itself after a while the body starts to complain in form of illness and diseases. Let's assume you eat a balanced diet but very late in the night, it won't digest then the next process can't take place so you eat but the body doesn't. Maybe after eating your food is digested but the walls of the intestine are clogged with previous food that weren't digested and so can not absorption it also means your body is starving even after you've eaten so also if the from first two processes went smoothly but the blood stream can't transport because of blockage cause by fat deposit it also means the cells of the body does not get the nutrients intended for their well being.

Over 80% of health issues can be linked to our diet. What we eat, how we eat and when we eat. If the issue started from our diet then it can be fixed with our diet. The list is endless, the names are frightening, the effects are life threatening from headache to migraine to high blood pressure to diabetics to cancer, if it started with you diet it can be fixed with your diet.

Learn how to stay healthy eating right and doing the right things.

Good morning house, hope we all woke up fine without constipation or bloatedness. If yes that is a sign of indigestion you might have eaten a good meal last night but you body did not get anything it is a simple process of garbage in garbage out.

A colon cleanse would be appropriate. Let start where we left off yesterday how do I ensure that this trio process goes on smoothly so that my body can get needed nutrients to run smoothly without complains (sickness ). The first part Metabolism - many times we eat to satisfy our hungry and taste bud but while we do that let us be conscious that what we put in our stomach is what we eventually become ; obesed, malnourished, healthy or sick. Before you eat consider the food well apart from satisfying your taste and hunger what good will it do to your body? Very important question, if you are eating refined flour for example it could be bread, pastries etc it end up turning to glue in your stomach because it is devoid of fiber and nutrients so it will not, I repeat will not digest. I am sure we know what glue is uses for, that is exactly what it does in the stomach it sticks to the walls of the stomach making it difficult for other food to be digested and absorbed. Instead of white bread consider whole wheat bread or better still cut down on your bread intake. Before eating try to have as much raw veg as possible on your plate. Reason they contain fiber which help your food to digest fast don't forget as much raw as possible like onions, tomato, carrots, cabbage, green leaves, cucumber. When we expose food to heat, most of the nutrients are lost but we can supplement but garnishing with raw veg. Let's start introducing this even to our children their generation is at a greater risk cos they are being raised mainly on sugar. Don't turn your stomach to a dustbin, eat to stay healthy eat right
