Our Cocoa Digestive Formula
Just like our Cocoa Energy Formula, our Cocoa Digestive Formula is a real treat, but is not just a band-aid like an antacid. It is a healthy boost to any digestive system, even a healthy one. BUT, if you have any trouble with digestion, our easy, good-tasting drink can be a real boon to your system while you are enjoying it because it tastes good.
For a real deep handling, read the Natural Indigestion Remedies Blog. It is very comprehensive and provides all the information about a long-term, definitive handling to create ideal digestion. I will do a shorter summary here as regards to what this digestive formula can do for you.
Did you know that all the ancient systems of healing agree that all health problems begin with the digestive system?
Well, think about it. If the nutrition of the whole body depends on the body efficiently breaking down and utilizing food that you eat to be used in all the systems of the body and then the clean elimination of waste not needed, then it's easy to see how this would be, right? I mean, you could eat the best, cleanest, most nutritious food in existence and the finest, purest supplements, but if you can't digest it, it can't help you and you get undernourished and clogged up anyway.
We all know that the body has to inhale and exhale air. That's obvious because if the flow of that stops, you don't get a disease, you die. Well, it's the same with the flows of the digestive system, only it happens much slower, so you have the time to develop all the gradients of disease from a little constipation to death.
Any natural health and healing system has to address the digestive system in order to effect a complete handling of any malady. This is the reason for juicing, fasting, enemas/colonics and colon cleanses, and herbs that help the digestive system. It is to get that flow going again and to give the digestive system the opportunity to heal. That's why natural healing systems have any sick patient start on those things before anything else is done. It is fundamental.
So technically, indigestion would be anything that was less than the digestive system's optimum performance. Heartburn is commonly the only thing people relate to indigestion and they think it is caused by the overindulgence of only one meal. But that one meal is pretty late on the chain of wrongnesses that went before.
The time to start thinking about indigestion should have been when waste didn't come out with the frequency and consistency it was supposed to, like once for every meal. Or some other minor symptom happened like needing to eat more food than normal before you felt nourished.
Backed-up waste causes a lot of trouble and is probably the first thing that goes wrong with a digestive system. This causes other things to go wrong like exhausting your digestive enzymes and depleting the hydrochloric acid (HCL) in your stomach. Waste only backs up because something obstructs the free flow through the digestive system. It starts with undigested, partially digested, or indigestible food.
Not having enough stomach acid is terrible. Not only can you not absorb the proper vitamins and minerals, but you can't kill any microbes or parasites in your food. And this makes you open season for all kinds of sicknesses and problems that start in your gut. And parasites can come from vegetables as well as meat or any kind of food.
You are ideally not supposed to kill your nutrition by overcooking your food to prevent parasites, you are supposed to have a good digestive system with enough stomach acid that will make a meal of the parasites along with the food.
If your digestive system came with a user manual, it would say:
Make sure you chew your food and let the semiliquid (called chyme) that forms when you chew slide down your throat as you are chewing. Do not swallow large, unliquefied clumps that the stomach acid cannot penetrate wholly. This opens you up to live parasites getting through to your intestines, where they breed and steal your nourishment. It is more common than you think.
Also, chewing thoroughly ensures that all the vitamins and minerals and other nutritional components of food can be utilized to the fullest because digestive enzymes will be able to do their work more efficiently, and digestive juices will be replenished from the nutrients obtained.
The last stop of an enzyme's life in the body after a life of moving along metabolic function is the digestive system, so you have to have a steady supply of good nutrition in order for enzymes to be shunted to the pancreas in any kind of decent shape to digest your food. If you don’t get enough nutrition, then it causes a downward spiral because then you can’t utilize enough nutrition to make more digestive juices, and your nutrition starts to go to waste and clogs things up.
Unfortunately, your digestive system doesn’t come with a manual, that’s why I thought it important to tell you all that. You may balk the first time you have to sit there and keep chewing that food. It will seem like forever till it all of a sudden starts to liquify, amazing.
That’s what I thought the first time I did it. I was really irritated and bored by the time it happened, but the next bite didn’t seem half as long because I knew what I was going for. And it felt SO much better immediately because I was getting so much more nutrition. Before this, I hardly chewed my food. I didn’t think about the poor stomach trying to do its job; I thought you chewed your food so it would fit down your throat. Ha Ha. It would have been nice to have a manual.
There are many, many herbs that can increase your digestive power. Actually, eating anything that you absorb and utilize increases your digestive power. The herbs chosen for our formula are well known to specifically be good for strengthening the organs of digestion and soothing the flow with superior antioxidant activity that can even offset the damages done by sugar.
That’s why you will recognize that the majority of them are traditionally included in desserts. It takes a strong antioxidant power to offset and nullify the sudden attack of sugar on the tissues of the body.
There are common terms I could use to describe what this prevents and remedies, but I will leave you to work this out. It can be very life-changing for many people.
Our digestive formula, taken regularly, will increase your overall health in many ways.
The digestion formula has Ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, Cardamom, cocoa, dates, vanilla, and coconut sugar.
