All systems are connected and when one is weakened, the others must take up the slack! Some tips for good digestion:

* do not drink too much before, during or shortly after meals.
* chew your food completely - this is of utmost importance.
* eat foods that are minimally processed such as lean meats, green leafy vegetables, raw nuts and seeds and complex carbohydrates such as squash, carrots and other root veggies.
* minimize fruit, especially in the winter time. minimize dairy (hard cheese is ok), minimize breads and grains
* drink plenty of fresh, purified water between meals.

Using an enzyme supplement can aid in digestion and reduce the stress on the kidneys and the joints.

The digestive portion of a body terrain test can assess the level of balance and function in the intestinal tract and what lifestyle and/or supplements are needed to make improvements.
