What are the symptoms of a healthy functioning body and more specifically a healthy and effective digestive system?

- You feel lethargic and tired after eating a big meal as your energy is used to digest the food
- You experience uncomfortable gassy or bloating symptoms after eating
- You have irregular bowel movements
- You have fat around your tummy.
The key to digestion and energy is to digest your food as quickly and efficiently as possible. The goal of eating food is to increase our energy and give us fuel for our body.
Do you ever feel fatigued and tired after a meal? Bloated? This could be due to poor digestion. Ideally we really want to use as little of our own energy
to get the energy out of the food. Unfortunately many of us could be using so much of our own energy to digest the food.The thing that makes all the difference is not the number of calories a food contains, but how quickly the food or rather sugar enters your bloodstream. Food that enters your bloodstream quickly makes you gain weight; food that enters your bloodstream slowly helps you lose weight. So when it comes to weight loss the focus must be on the qua
lity of food rather than on the calorie count of the food. You need enzymes to break down the food. I believe 80% of root cause for energy, skin, weight- loss is from poor digestion over a period of many years.Most of the enzymes we need for digestion come from vegetables and plants. If we can’t digest our food it is stored as fat or eliminated – nutrients and all. We can’t make these in our body so the key here is we need living food not dead food!What do I mean by Living Food? As soon as you pick a fruit or vegetable (let’s say an apple) it starts to die, its loosing nutrients. A bruised apple is an example of enzymes been released.You can eat the perfect diet full of nutrients but if you don’t have enzymes it won’t do you any good!Manufacturers and growers want to keep their food on shelves longer andappear fresh. To do this they need to kill the nutrients and enzymes. To do this they use Aspirin, Sulphur or Heat processes above 118 degrees or radiation.
Growers and manufacturers deliberately destroy the enzymes and nutrients in our food to keep the food on the shelves longer. So what can you do? Focus on eating fresher whole foods that have all their nutrients in tact so that it takes longer for your body to break it down. This will keep you full longer, promote stable blood sugar, boost your metabolism and give your body nourishing calories rather than empty ones.
