For thousands of years digestion has been viewed as the root of all health and wellness in Ayurveda, and so Ayurveda has an elegant approach that is both vast and comprehensive.Simply put, when you eat good food and digest it well, you build good blood. As if by magic, digestive enzymes inside your stomach break down the food you eat into nutrients your body can utilize. Once these nutrients are broken down and absorbed into your blood they are fed to your vital organs. Therefore, the better your digestion, the better your blood, the better your organs, and the better your health. Ayurveda never forgets that good nutrition depends on good digestion. As awe inspiring as digestion is, it is not beyond your influence. In fact, your influence over your own food choices and digestive capacity is one of the greatest opportunities you have to influence your blood chemistry, and therefore your health. Anytime you take medicine, the first interaction of your body with the medicine happens in the digestive tract. The most profound way your body interacts with your environment - food or medicine, is by eating it. Food and digestion is where your body meets nature in the most profound way, a fact you can harness to your advantage. In short, your influence over your digestion can be a determining factor in your state of health and wellness. HAVE A DIGESTIVE PROBLEM? WE SPECIALIZE IN DIGESTION!SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION |
