Weak digestion is basically a health problem that can become very serious, and is often the cause of many seemingly unrelated diseases.

Digestion is a huge topic, and something we should pay a lot of attention to. Without proper digestion, our body won't get all its vital nutrients, and vitamins, and a poor digestion can lead to a whole array of health problems, such as constipation, and colon disease.

Gout is one of the forms of arthritis or joint inflammation. Usually one or two joints are affected at a time. Commonly joints of feet and ankles are inflamed in gout. The commonest site is the ball of the big toe . The first attack of gout subsides in a week or so without treatment. There may be a long gap of many months or years between attacks. As time passes the attacks become more frequent and more severe involving many joints. When the frequency of attacks increases progressive joint damage sets in. This is known as chronic gout. This leads to disability and crippling. Gout is very rare in women but usually affects men. In women it is seen after menopause

The stomach produces about two liters of digestive secretions per day. Insufficient activity of the nerves that control the stomach can cause a reduction in the production of stomach acid and pepsin (protein digesting enzyme), which causes a major slowdown of food digestion. Sometimes even the mechanical churning of the stomach is slowed. Stomach acid and pepsin are strong substances that can turn a piece of meat to liquid, and are important to destroy incoming bacteria mixed with foods. The reduced stomach acid hampers digestive function, incapacitating hormones and digestive enzymes. When levels are low, patients often report feeling like the food sits in their stomach like a lump. This reaction causes a loss of appetite, nausea, and distended abdomen. As a diagnostic point of view, the tongue is often puffy and swollen, and is sometimes pale or has a thick white coating. Weak digestion can sometimes cause paradoxical symptoms of stomach burning, perhaps due to irritation, in which case the standard Western practice of treatment with acid-blocking drugs can be very harmful. Digestion tends to weaken as we age, in part due to reduced hydrochloric acid secretion.

How You Eat is More Important Than When or What You Eat. In my book, The 3-Season Diet I discuss the three major contributing factors of weight gain, in order of importance: how, when and what you eat. The state of one's mind while eating (how you eat), even from the youngest age, may be one of the most important factors in our digestive strength. The how, when and what you eat will be a topic in a future newsletter.

Mechanical and chemical digestion begin in the mouth where food is chewed, and mixed with saliva to break down starches. The stomach continues to break food down mechanically and chemically through the churning of the stomach and mixing with enzymes. Absorption occurs in the stomach and gastrointestinal tract, and the process finishes with excretion. Digestion is usually divided into mechanical processing to reduce the size of food particles and chemical action to further reduce the size of particles and prepare them for absorption.
