Why Digestion Nutrient-Based Nutrition?
Did you know that bloating, constipation, and stomach pains are all symptoms of poor digestion? How about the fact that nutrient deficiencies can cause poor digestion? If you have been searching for answers to your digestive complaints, but come up empty, it is time to look at your nutrient intake. By correcting nutrient deficiencies and consuming the nutrients needed for proper digestion, you can possibly eliminate bloating, gas, constipation, and any other undesirable and embarrassing digestive symptom. The Nutrevo Body digestion nutrient-based eating plan takes a 4-step approach in optimizing digestion naturally:
Focus 1: Remove Bacterial, Viral and Fungal Pathogens
The gut microbiome is host to billions of bacteria, viruses, and funguses. When balanced, these pathogens pose no problem. However, when there is an overgrowth of any of these pathogens, symptoms of bloating, gas, constipation, and more can occur. Allicin found in garlic, rosmarinic acid found in rosemary, and monolaurin found in coconut oil are just a few nutrients and foods clinically shown to be antimicrobial, antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal.
Focus 2: Replace with Digestive Enzymes
Breaking down food particles and absorbing them in the gut can be an issue among many people. When foods are not properly digested, the leftover food particles can ferment and cause severe bloating and gas. Replacing digestive enzyme function using targeted nutrients and whole food sources of amylase for carbohydrate digestion, protease for protein digestion and lipase for fat digestion can mean the difference between severe bloating and no bloating at all.
Focus 3: Replenish Good Bacteria in the Gut
Poor diet, stress, medications, and even our environment can cause a gut imbalance where there are more bad bacteria than good bacteria in the digestive tract. Replenishing the gut microbiome with targeted nutrients and whole food sources of prebiotics and probiotics can help restore balance.
Focus 4: Repair the Gut
After the wear and tear of many years of abusing gut health, the gut is left inflamed, leaky, and possibly malfunctioning. Nutrients such as glutamine, zinc, curcumin, and omega 3 fatty acids can naturally help reduce inflammation and restart the gut healing process.
