Digestion 101 - Chew Your Food

Colonic westchester
Practicing chewing food before eating is not always the easiest thing to accomplish. Frequently, we are eating on the go or in a rushed manner in order to get to the next thing we have on our agendas. Food frequently goes into our mouths and barely gets moved around before we decide to swallow. When we do this, we compromise our digestion. Chewing our food is critical for good digestion and it starts in the mouth with chewing.

 

Each day, I ask clients if they chew their food. The most common answer is, “I think so.” If you were to ask me the same question, my answer would be, “I try to do so.” However, I know I do not always accomplish this first important step in digestion. So over the last week, I have made an effort to chew my food completely. This exercise involved a lot of conscious effort on my part and taking time to slow down. With each meal, I was keenly aware of the amount of chewing I was doing and the time it took me to complete the meal. As a result, I felt better after eating and tended to consume less and feel less hungry after each meal.

There are Bugs in My Body?

Did you know we have 400 to 500 types of bacteria in our digestive system? Probably not since we can't see or feel them, but they are everywhere - in our mouths, stomachs, small and large intestines and many other places. However, the majority of these bacteria reside in our colons and we eliminate several ounces of these bacteria each day through our stool. Some of these bacteria are friendly or benefical and some are not so friendly and can cause us some distress.

That is sure a lot to think about and may even cause some alarm, but hope is not lost...you can fight the battle with probiotics. Probiotics or "friendly bacteria" offers many protective and nutritive properties.

Constipation - What a Pain!

My interest in Magnesium started a couple a couple of years ago when I discovered the role it plays in alleviating constipation by assisting in the relaxation of muscle. I suffered for many years with constipation and tried my best to manage it through the avoidance of gluten-containing foods in my diet, but nothing really helped. After searching and searching, I discovered magnesium. Magnesium is best known as “the antistress mineral” that acts as a co-enzyme involved in more than 300 enzymatic reactions and works closely with Vitamin D, Calcium and Phosphorus. As I reflected on my diet, I noticed that I was not really getting a lot of magnesium in the foods I ate each day. I was avoiding wheat and wheat-wheat containing foods, eating a lot of fruit and rarely consumed nuts, seeds or seaweeds. Although, my diet was relatively healthy, I was not eating many of the foods that provided magnesium and had never really given much thought to if I was getting my recommended daily allowance. Today, I supplement with magnesium and ensure I am getting an adequate amount in the foods I choose. I include brewer’s yeast and molasses daily, buckwheat and almonds in several times per week and try to get in kelp and seaweeds several times per month. Since starting this process, my bowel function has returned to normal, my sleep is better, my PMS is hardly existent and I feel more relaxed.

Can't Seem to Lose Weight No Matter What You Do!!!

At least once a day, I have a client tell me that they are unable to lose weight despite great efforts. Changes in diet and exercise don't seem to work. Sadly, I agree...all efforts can result in little or no loss of weight. When we eat the Standard American Diet (SAD), take medications and/or antibiotics or are up to our eyeballs in stress, weight loss is near to impossible. Our systems are usually weighed down with toxins and our livers are asking for help. A first step in combating this frustrating dilemma is cleansing. A gentle full body cleanse with a clean diet is the first place to start. To learn more about cleansing programs call me at 914-409-7760 or www.evercleancolonics.com.

Detox and Cleaning the Liver

Now that the holidays are over, it's time to clean up! A great place to start is in the liver. Did you know the liver is the largest internal organ we have and that everything needs to visit the liver before it moves on to the rest of the body? That means cookies, cakes, chocolate, chips and cheeseburgers all go to the liver to be processed. The liver looks at each ingredient in those foods and gives a "thumbs up" or a "thumbs down". Those things that don't get a good review can be stored in the body and potentially be toxic.

5 Reasons to Detox

5 Reasons to Detox


By Elaine Zeitler, Certified Colon Hydrotherapist and Health Coach



Recently, a lot of attention has been buzzing around about cleansing and detoxification. The topic of juice cleansing and off-the-shelf detox programs are becoming so popular that you probably know at least one person doing such a program. While some folks jump right into a detox program, you may want more information. If so, here are 5 reasons to consider cleansing and detoxification:



1. Jump Start Weight Loss

There is no better way to jump start a weight loss program than to start with cleansing. By eating healthier foods and cleaning the body, weight loss naturally happens. Once cleansing begins, we naturally think before we put “less than desirable” foods into our bodies.

2. Lack of Energy

Lack of energy and fatigue is something we confront on a daily basis. Lack of sleep, poor diet, and stress may contribute to the drain on our energy. Many of the foods and beverages we ingest each day are chock full of chemicals, additives and preservatives. As these substances accumulate in the body, our energy is constantly strained. The body is constantly trying to break these down. When we cleanse, we start to remove these toxins and energy naturally begins to return.

3. Clearer Skin

Commonly, we try to remedy acne and skin problems with medications, creams and visits to the doctor. However, the buildup of toxins in the body manifests itself as an outbreak in the skin. This may take form as acne, rashes and more serious skin inflammation. A full body cleanse offers an improvement in skin outbreaks.

4. Clean Up from the SAD (Standard American Diet)

When it comes to choosing what to eat and nourishing our bodies, there is a lot of confusion. When we go shopping or try to decide what to eat, we are confronted with countless options. While most of these foods are considered safe, many contain chemicals and additives, many of which buildup in the body and are difficult to breakdown and remove. Detox is an easy way to cleanse the body of these toxins.

5. Remove Toxins

Our bodies are constantly bombarded by toxins. Toxins are found everywhere – in the environment, our food, our water, cleaning solutions and even our personal care products. We are in deep overload. It is difficult for our bodies to break these toxins down and sometimes they are not fully eliminated. As we begin to cleanse, we start to remove these toxins and start fresh.
