Natural Cures

When I became ill with chronic digestive problems my doctor put me on several different types of medications. One medication was for the inflammatory problems in my digestive track and the other two were for side effects from the first medication. I decided, early on, that I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life taking medications. I began researching the effectiveness of probiotics to help build a healthier digestive system. Once I had gotten enough information I began using them daily and within a month I noticed a significant difference in how my digestive system was working. I had less pain and a much more normal routine.

I completely eliminated the medications my doctor put me on and added whole food supplements to my diet. The more I researched about my condition the more I realized how much of this problem lies with the diet I was on. I changed my eating habits and began eating foods that help to make my digestive system function properly and with less effort. The foods I had been eating worked against my natural digestive system and caused it to have to work too hard which caused inflammation which in turn caused the pain I was having.

I gave up carbonated drinks and began drinking a lot more water and real fruit juices. I found that fried foods were a main cause of my digestive dysfunction so I stopped eating all fried foods and began eating baked or BBQ. I subscribed to ahealth newsletter that comes monthly and has many recipes and tips to help me continue living a pain free and medication free lifestyle. Too many people think they have no control over their bodies especially when it comes to illness. I have proven that we can take control and eliminate many of the dysfunctions of our bodies simply by changing what we eat and what we put into our bodies. I have never felt better.
