For some of us, digestive discomfort has become a fact of life. We complain everyday about luck of energy or occasional gas and bloating, assuming that this is inevitable. "If you see a thirty something man with gray hair, or a forty year old woman with bold head, or a fifty year old stroke victim in a coffin, or a sixty-five year old grandpa with shaking hands, or a seventy year old grandma with dementia - look no further than their compromised guts." - says Konstantine Monastyrsky

{New York Times best-selling author of Crazy Sexy Kitchen Kris Carr is my favorite blogger and speaker, wellness warrior and cancer thriver. Her motto: Make Juice Not War!}
'I decided to forget about cancer and focus my energy on my digestive health instead. Finally, improvements I could see, feel and measure. Hi Sweet Friends, we've all heard the saying, "listen to your gut." Your gut is the epicenter of your mental and physical health. If you want better immunity, efficient digestion, improved clarity and balance, focus on rebuilding your gut health.
And frankly, our quest for getting well can be downright exhausting! I'm doing everything I can to heal and...why won't the sucker just go away?'
Hippocrates, the Greek physician, cautioned that
"All Diseases Begin In The Gut." So, what do we do? How do we feed ourselves properly? The answer is: get back in touch with your body's inner intelligence. No clever doctor or scientist or smart book can calculate for you what you should be eating at 8 a.m. Make no mistake, your body knows the nutrient composition of foods on this planet. Only your body has the unsurpassed intelligence to figure out what it needs at any moment of your life, as your nutritional needs change all the time, explains here:: Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride. in the article: One Man's Meat- Another Man's Poison. She is a medical doctor with two postgraduate degrees in Neurology and Medical Science in Human Nutrition.

Bloating 101
When your lunch reaches stomach, acids begin the digestive process, but the bulk of the work is handled by the small intestine. There, enzymes process the sugars, protein, and fat and help your body absorb them. Next food arrive in the large intestine (colon) where bacteria finish the job. By-products of bacterial activity in the gut are very important in transporting minerals, vitamins, water, gases and many other nutrients through the gut wall into the bloodstream. As they work, those bacteria release gas, and, voila, your intestines become distended, you feel overly full and crampy. If gas particles aren’t released right away, the stomach expands like a balloon.
If this sounds like you, the triggers may not be how much you’re eating, but what you’re eating. Try to limit your consumption of starches, grains and artificial sweeteners as they are common culprits. Bloating can also be the sign of a serious health problem. In the human body the absence of good bacteria always comes with pathogenic bacteria getting out of control. The gut epithelium degenerates leading to malabsorbtion, nutritional deficiencies and food intolerances. If the gut flora is damaged, the best foods and supplements in the world may not have a good chance of being broken down and absorbed.
