Digestive problems; accountable for more than you know,
from Headaches to Heartburn to Hemorrhoid
According to renowned nutritionist, Dr. Arnold Susser, the most common problem he sees in his nutrition counseling practice is inadequate digestion and absorption of food. Even if a person is eating a so-called balanced diet, this does not mean they are digesting and absorbing it. Deficiencies still can occur. Deficiencies can creep up on you over the years and can cause irregular function in any organ or system of the body from head to toe. The result is digestive problems which range from everything from headaches to hemorrhoids, which is the name of Dr. Arnold J. Susser's, RP, PhD, book, "The Indigestion of America from Headaches to Hemorrhoids.
"I have noticed that between the ages of 22 and 35, we start producing less and less gastric juices and less and less digestive enzymes. The food we used to (when younger) digest and absorb properly, we no longer can. We no longer thoroughly break down proteins into amino acids which are vital to support our hair, skin and nails, to produce hormones, and to maintain our chemical balance. Without enzymes we also cannot break down fats the way they should be. As a result, noxious gases such as nitrogen and sulfur are produced, and fats such as cholesterol and triglycerides form plaque in the bloodstream. We no longer break down carbohydrates (grains, starches, sugars, fruits and vegetables) and they begin to ferment and release toxins.
Though all of this improper digestion of foods, deposits of these noxious materials build up on the lining of the intestinal tract. This is where absorption of vitamins and other nutrients is supposed to occur, but it is blocked by the build up of debris. Instead of absorbing nutrients and oxygen, we are absorbing nitrogen, sulfur. This causes headaches, dulls the mind, irritation and spasm of the intestinal tract leading to irritable bowl syndrome, diverticulosis, and spastic colon. In other words, everything from headaches to hemorrhoids.
"Even the healthiest "balanced" diet cannot be digested and absorbed with inadequate enzymes and gastric juices. Numerous nutrient deficiencies can creep up on you over the years which can cause irregular function in any part of the body from head to toe, Says Dr. Susser, of Great Life Labs, who created Vitalzyme Plus. Some enzymes are available from foods we eat, but the foods must be consumed in their raw state. Heat destroys the activity of enzymes and therefore the body must produce them. This expends a great deal of energy, simply to digest our food. Most of us have experienced the feeling of fatigue after stuffing ourselves at the table. This is because all our energy is going toward digestion. Poor eating habits greatly increase the need for assistance from Vitalzyme Plus.
"This is why I developed Vitalzyme Plus. These natural enzymes (healthy enzymes from papaya and pineapple, plus pancreatic enzymes) do not replace our natural enzymes but add to them. Vitalzyme Plus is quite unique because it is such a comprehensive formula.
I have my own patients take one or two tablets at the beginning of the meal with a glass of juice or water with lemon. This sets up an ideal digestive environment before eating. The nutrients from our food can be thoroughly digested and absorbed.
Furthermore, when enzymes, such as contained in Vitalzyme,
are not busy helping us digest our food, they act as
"clean-up men" as they go through the intestinal tract
getting rid of debris, toxins and other things that should
not be there. They clean up the diverticula, getting out
the fatty materials and plaque and purification and debris
from fermentation, thus keeping a cleaner internal
environment.
Vitalzyme is probably one of the most important parts of any nutritional supplement program
Poor Digestion can Cause Problems From Headaches to
Hemorrhoids!
