Let's talk about why you're actually constipated
Most people only tell you what to eat…
But not why your digestion is struggling in the first place
Here's what's actually going on
Your food isn’t breaking down all the way
So it piles up in your gut and gets stuck
That’s because your stomach acid is weak
And it’s weak because your digestion was designed for natural, enzyme-rich foods
Back in nature, we ate straight from the ground
Fruits and veggies full of digestive enzymes
And these enzymes work with your stomach acid to break down food properly
But most of the food people eat today
Bread, pasta, meat, beans, frozen meals, microwavable foods
Have no enzymes
And the vegetables we do eat, our cooked
But cooking and processing these vegetables completely destroys the living, digestive enzymes they contain
So your stomach’s been working alone, non-stop, for years
And now it’s tired, weak, and overwhelmed
So, quick fix you can try tomorrow:
Start your day with raw fruits only
Melon, grapes, peaches, plums, a banana smoothie, etc...
Then at lunch or dinner, instead of drinking water with or right after your meals
Eat non-sweet, raw fruit with your cooked meal
Like cucumber slices, celery sticks, leafy lettuce, or bell peppers
This gives your body the enzymes and hydration it needs to help break down the enzyme-less, cooked food better
Drinking water with or right after your meals actually dilutes your stomach acid
And we need strong stomach acid to break down our food efficiently
This is just a small shift, but it makes a huge difference in digesting your food more efficiently
