Our poor digestive systems! In our fast paced lives we eat on the run without much thought of what we’re actually putting in our mouths. We consider a muffin and a coffee breakfast – if we even remember to eat breakfast. For the rest of the day we grab what’s convenient and can fill our hunger void without much consideration as to what we’re really eating. If we consider food laced with preservatives, pesticides, dyes and additives, drinks spiked with artificial sweeteners, coffee, alcohol, prescription drugs and other chemicals, on top of a fast paced lifestyle, it’s no wonder we have digestive upsets.
Symptoms of Poor Digestion Include:
- Indigestion
- Abdominal bloating after eating
- Excessive gas, belching or burping
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Stools poorly formed: pale, greasy, floating
- Undigested food particles in stools
- Ridges on fingernails (indicates malabsorption)
- Bad breath/bad taste in mouth
- Excessive body odour
- Heartburn, acid reflux
- Yeast infections, candida
- Low tolerance to alcohol or sugar
- Dark circles or bags under eyes
- Food allergies or sensitivities
- Consistent gas from most foods
- Inflamed, achy joints (arthritis, gout)
- Sore, stiff, painful muscles
