GastroIntestinal Reflux Disorder (GIRD) And Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

GastroIntestinal Reflux Disorder (GIRD) and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) are two common digestive upsets that share similar symptoms: pyrosis (burning sense experience and or hurting in the tummy and or chest, behind the breastbone), abdominal bloating, gas, nausea, shortness of breath and or acidic or rancid taste sensation in the throat. Both are generally caused by mediocre diet: too building or too cleansing.

Digestion is a very simple process. Food is taken via the mouth, chewed, amalgamated with spit and sent down via the pharynx and oesophagus into the stomach, where it is mixed with acid and enzymes. This mixture sit downs and agitations (souring process) before being sent down into the little bowels for additional digestion and eventual food soaking up into the bloodstream.

The major symptom of GIRD and GERD is heartburn. Heartburn is usually caused by a dorsum up of hydrochloric acid (HCl) into esophagus, irritating and or combustion sensitive tissues. HCl is produced by the stomach. Its dorsum flowing is generally prevented by esophageal anatomical sphincter musculuses that control the gap and shutting of the valve, which links the pharynx to the stomach. When these musculuses go weak, back flow, pyrosis can occur.

Weak anatomical sphincter musculuses can be caused by poor, anaemic diet. Protein and fat construct and combustible all construction and function. Everything else (fruit, veggies and grains) reduces, cleanses, chills and moistens. Low protein, low fat and high saccharide diets (grain, pasta, bread, salads, natural vegetables, fruit, especially tropical, juices, etc.).

High saccharide foods, fruit, vegetables, especially when eaten at the beginning of the meal, be given to thin and weaken digestive acid and enzymes, producing abdominal bloating, gas, nausea, reflux and in the extreme, heartburn, acid indigestion.

Overeating, especially protein, fat and amylum can also bring forth the same symptoms. The digestive tract, mouth, throat, tummy and little bowels are more than or less 1 long tubing (25+ feet) that links to another long tube, big bowels before exiting the anus. Food and fluids, digestive energy moves down. Gluttony can geta any portion of the tubing causing a dorsum flowing of energy, nutrient and fluids, just like a clotted drainage that dorsums up and overflows. Back flowing is generally prevented by valves in the throat, esophagus, stomach, little intestines, etc. that unfastened and close. Overeating, eating too fast or disorderly tin clog, jam the valves causing reflux, heartburn, etc.

GIRD and GERD that are caused by mediocre diet can generally be cured by proper diet.

The followers diet, repast program will generally forestall and or remedy most lawsuits of GIRD and GERD. There are always exceptions.

1/3 Protein and fat (meat, eggs, chicken,. cheese, beans, etc.). One protein per meal.

The Truth About Carbohydrates - What To Eat, What To Avoid

If you are among the millions of Americans making an effort to eat smarter and live healthier, there is something you should know: carbohydrates are not the enemy. On the contrary, these organic compounds are the main source of energy for the body, which makes them an essential part of every healthy diet.

Along with proteins and fats, carbohydrates are one of the three main nutrients found in foods, and they are often grouped into two main categories—simple and complex. Simple carbohydrates consist of up to three units of sugar linked together. Examples include fruit sugar (fructose), milk sugar (lactose) and table sugar (sucrose). Simple carbohydrates are digested quickly and converted to glucose (blood sugar) immediately by the body. As a result, they can be used for energy soon after they are digested.

Complex carbohydrates include foods such as vegetables, legumes and whole grains that are most often high in fiber, vitamins and minerals. Unlike simple carbohydrates, complex carbohydrates consist of multiple sugar units linked together in chains. Because of their intricate nature, they are digested more slowly. This means that they are broken down into glucose at a gradual pace and thus provide a steady supply of energy for the body. The high fiber content in many complex carbohydrates plays an important role in this process, as fiber helps to slow the conversion of carbohydrates into glucose. It also helps normalize blood glucose levels by slowing down the time it takes food to leave the stomach and delaying the absorption of glucose from a meal.

Although complex carbohydrates are used more efficiently by the body, omitting simple carbohydrates from your diet is not necessarily the answer when you are trying to lose weight and maintain a healthy body weight. As with any weight loss plan, the phrase "everything in moderation" applies here also. When we consume too many carbohydrates—regardless of whether they are simple or complex—the extra calories are stored as fat, which can lead to weight gain and obesity. Try instead to eat an assortment of healthy carbohydrates such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans. Such foods contain an abundance of fiber, as well as antioxidant-rich plant compounds called phytonutrients that may help the body fight disease.

At the market, opt for brown rice instead of white; choose whole grain breads and pastas; and experiment with less familiar grains such as quinoa, teff, millet and bulgur when preparing salads and side dishes. Foods that are best to avoid altogether include cookies, pastries, crackers and other foods that contain high amounts of white flour and refined sugars. These highly processed foods have been stripped of much of their nutrient value.

The FDA Seeks to Make You a Felon

It is a proven fact that "Vitamin C Complex" cures and prevents a horrible disease known as Scurvy. A Nobel Prize was awarded in 1937 to Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi who isolated the "Vitamin C Complex" and proved its link with Scurvy.

Through the latest attempts by the FDA to overturn the unanimous passage of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, they intend to make it a felony for you to tell another person about this fact regarding Vitamin C.

By sharing education and the links between nutrition and better health, they seek to make you a felon.

The American Medical Association, through an article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, stated that it is clear Americans are not getting sufficient nutrient support from diet alone. Their conclusion was that Americans should consider dietary supplements to ensure sufficient nutritional support.

The FDA seeks to make it illegal for me to educate you about that fact.

The FDA is seeking to protect the interests of drug companies who administer poisons and have no financial interest in people like you helping another American Citizen, through education, to improve their state of health. This may result in their doctors taking them off of so-called maintenance drugs which they were intended to stay on for life.

Their doctors take them off these drugs because their improved state of health eliminates their requirement for them.

With the sickness industry counting for nearly 1/5 of the GDP, healthy Americans are bad for drug company business. I say too bad and ask you, to represent the true benefits and needs of the People and remain vigilant to the attempts of the FDA to eliminate access to safe and effective dietary supplements in the name of protecting drug company interests.

Drug studies are no long conducted against a current known treatment to ensure that a new drug is more effective. Instead drug companies have created a smoke screen by making the public think that studies against placebos are better science and better for you.

As a result, newer and more expensive drugs replace cheaper, existing drugs which are as effective and, according to articles published in the New England Journal of Medicine, sometimes more effective than the newer, more expensive alternative.

This is the status quo the FDA seeks to maintain.

From the proposed new laws from the FDA, if you even told someone not to eat fast food because it's "junk food" or that extensive research has proven that Aspartame metabolizes to formaldehyde in your liver, you would be committing a felony as an unlicensed medical practitioner.

The passage of DSHEA was correct. The FDA should seek to ensure that dietary supplements are made according to good manufacturing practices. Studies showing the effectiveness of dietary supplements can only be performed on supplements that are made according to such standards. Recent media reports of concerns over the effectiveness of certain types of dietary supplements are based on indirect analysis of unverified dietary supplements and therefore any conclusions based on such data is untrustworthy.

Researchers, backed by drug industry money, know this, but they also know that the average person and the average journalist lack the knowledge to see through the veil.

The FDA supports these studies because they serve an agenda, which keeps you paying for drugs through the products you buy, the checks you earn and the taxes you pay.

The United States pays more than any other country, per capita, to treat sickness and yet the World Health Organization ranks the US 37th in overall wellness in the world. The sickness paradigm is a failure when it comes to anything other than trauma care. A massive money machine, supported by the FDA is what keeps it going.

The FDA should exist to serve We The People.

They clearly do not.
