Tip of the day-digestion/absorption

Nutritional therapists frequently come across people who eat a good diet but still have nutritional deficiency symptoms. This is because they are not digesting and absorbing their food properly. If your digestion is weak, you probably suffer form boats of intestinal gas, bloating and discomfort. To combat this relax while eating-stress can switch off your production of stomach acid and other digestive juices and reduces the activity of the nerves and muscle that help the digestive process. Also make sure you chew your food throughout and don’t use water or liquids to wash down food (as this dilutes the digestive enzymes).
