Natural Treatments for Digestion

Digestion

Digestion is responsible for 80% of disease according to Ayurvedic medicine. This is often due to three factors that I discuss in my book The 3-Season Diet. They are how, when and what you eat. For the most part we spend very little time thinking about how we eat. Many of us eat in the car, while watching TV, on the computer among others. When we eat in America it is so crazy compared to the skinny rest of the world. We work all day eat little meals to get by and then gorge ourselves right before bed. We have then on the other hand gone way over board on the what to eat category. But remember - the only ones with perfect nutrition on the planet don't know anything about proteins, fats and carbohydrates. I am talking about animals and traditional peoples. In nature, the squirrels eat nuts in the winter - a natural high protein high fat diet. In the spring the harvest is light - berries, greens and sprouts - a naturally harvested low fat diet. In the summer when the days are long and the nights short we need energy so nature harvests a high energy high carb diet - fruits and veggies. So the diet gurus are all right but only for four months of the year. High protein and fat in the winter, Low fat in the spring and high carbo in the summer- simple!
Due to all of these above factors and the excessive stress in our lives our digestion has deteriorated to the point that many of us live on anti-acids, digestive enzymes, restrictive diets and laxatives. Herbal medicines aim at restoring normal function to the digestive system without being dependant on any supplements.
