Nutrition For your Cells Part 2

Getting Nutrition To Your Cells Involves Three Functions:

1. Cleansing

2. Absorption

3. Cellular Regeneration

1. GETTING NUTRITION TO YOUR CELLS: Cleansing

OUR MODERN DIET AND LIFESTYLES ALLOW A BUILD UP OF TOXINS AND POISONS IN OUR SYSTEM, THAT STRESS OUR WHOLE BODY, PARTICULARLY OUR VITAL ORGANS AND OUR GLANDULAR SYSTEMS.

Many of us live on diets of highly processed foods and we eat at irregular times or at least have our heaviest meals at the wrong time of the day. We have foods that are low in fibre and high in sugars and fats.

This means that the food we do eat takes much longer than it should to pass through our bowel and it putrefies and creates toxic stress on our organs.

The stress on our livers of breaking down high levels of animal products, meats and fats, as well as the drugs and poisons often associated with animal meats, causes problems.

Often people's livers are swollen and strained from the load we put them under.

The constant demand for digestive enzymes, due to the lack of enzymes contained within the food we eat, can cause the pancreas to swell to an abnormal size.

The villi and micro-villi in the small intestine draw nutrients from the foods we eat and pass them through the walls of the small intestine, into our blood stream and lymph system for delivery to our cells. They become compromised by being brittle and break off.

If stressed they don't regenerate, as they are naturally supposed to. If we then eat high fat foods they can layer our digestive system from our stomach to our colon, with mucus like rubbish that prevents us absorbing the nutrition from the food we eat, and compromises our entire health system.

Our bodies are hugely resilient and can deal with incredible abuse but if we eat low fibre food and don't exercise we can look forward to a high risk of bowel or colon cancer.

If we allow ourselves to become overweight and don't pay attention to the amount of sugars we are eating, we are likely to join the growing ranks of people who suffer diabetes.

If we allow our arteries to clog up with plaque, we can look forward to heart attack and stroke.

In earlier years the result from poor nutrition is low energy and not living life to the full.

As people reach middle age, 50, 60 years, these unwise food and nutrition choices are manifesting in chronic illness and even death.

Medical authorities are happy to admit that up to 80% of all sickness and death can be directly linked to nutritional causes. We need to pay attention and do something about it, or we are likely to deal with sickness, diseases, and shorter lives as a result.

What Steps Can We Take To Aid Our Bodies In Keeping Us Well?

First let's go back to an earlier statement. The body will always replace old cells with newer, healthier cells, provided it has a clean base to work on.

Modern life feeds chemicals into our bodies: petrol fumes, tobacco smoke (either self administered or from being around smokers), the growth hormones and other chemicals that are pumped into most meats we buy from the shops, preservatives and colourings in food, cleaning chemicals, etc, etc, etc. We are surrounded by chemicals in every part of our lives.

If we live in modern society we are absorbing chemicals every day.

We need to clean these out of our system on a regular basis.

If we do not then the chemical builds up and the toxic overload shows initially as:

- Bowel issues: diarrhoea or constipation.

- Skin issues: acne, pimples, boils and liver spots.

- Bad perspiration & body odour.

- Bad breath. And so on, as our bodies try to aid our overtaxed kidneys and push the poisons out in any way they can.

When the overload becomes too great we are at risk of chronic disease and even fatal conditions, stemming from this problem.

When you find the right nutrition programs they are packed with herbs that gently, but firmly, detoxify your body. They draw the toxins and poisons out of the muscles and vital organs and dump them into the blood stream where they can be passed out of your body with your waste products.

This is one reason why you are always recommended to drink at least 8 large glasses of clean water a day (i.e. 2 litres - 1 Quart).

While you should be drinking this anyway it is extremely important at the beginning of a good nutrition program as it is required if you are going to flush the poisons out of your body and start on the road to better health.
