you are what you eat -- not exactly.

[Guest guest]

We've all heard the old adage 'You are what you eat " , but it's not

entirely true. You can eat a good diet, but if you don't assimilate it

(absorb the nutrients into the blood stream), and if you don't

eliminate the waste properly, you aren't getting the good from the

diet. I believe it's more correct to say, " You are what you assimilate

and what you don't eliminate " .

 

What you don't eliminate becomes toxic. I'm a firm believer that all

health begins in the digestion (good health and bad health). If

elimination is too slow (constipation) or incomplete, toxins build up.

If elimination is too fast (soft or runny stools) or if you have a very

fast transit time, there is less assimilation of nutrients.

 

Be a student of your digestion. Know your transit time (swallow corn

whole or eat a bunch of raw beets and see how long it takes to come

out). Study digestion and what you need to do to support your digestive

tract (I'm not talking OTC antacids or laxatives!). With compromised

digestion, ALL body systems have to work harder, which leads to

disease.

I so agree about the assimilation and elimination process.  This came up so

often in the Cayce readings.  I have been really negligent in yoga practice as

of late, but have found that really helps me with the digestion process.

Jerri,

I just took a wonderful Yoga for Weight Loss workshop and the teacher put a lot

of stress on digestion as being a key to keeping your body healthy.  There are

some great yogic breathing practices that help w/ digestion.  If your are

interested I would gladly share the notes I was given with you.  Email me off

line (pmluton).
