• Digestion Matters Feeding Basics for Feeling More at Home in Your Body

While vitamins and minerals that are removed are often added back into our processed food, enzymes are not. That's right, the most essential component for digestion of food is completely processed out. To make matters worse, enzymes are destroyed by heat, so they are lost in most cooking. We may redeem some enzymes in a quick stirfry, but generally when we cook fresh food, including meat, to temperatures over 118 degrees, we lose the natural enzymes. Without the essential component of enzymes to digest it, how valuable is this "food" in providing energy, or fuel, for our bodies? Consider your own daily meals. How many are from food that is packaged or cooked? Our body's digestive enzymes know what they're doing and have specialized roles in the digestive process. To keep it very simple,...

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have a good friend in the hospital being treated for pancreatitis. He has had parts of his pancreas removed. How does a person survive without a pancreas? - G.B. ANSWER: The pancreas, which lies beneath the stomach and next to the duodenum - the first part of the small intestine - has two important functions. It makes insulin, and it makes digestive enzymes for food absorption.

• Got Superfoods? Why You Need Them

The institution of superfoods is a technological advance that allows those of us wanting to make healthier eating choices the ability to do so, without sacrificing good nutrition. In fact, consuming superfoods actually enhances our levels of nutritional intake. Let's discuss exactly what they are, and why we need them. We are in a time where we have become too dependent on cooked foods and should understand that when food is cooked over 100 degrees fahrenheit, destruction of phytonutrients, loss of protein, and loss of digestive enzymes all occur. If you use the microwave you basically destroy all nutrients within seconds. What is left are foods that are void of anything substantial for our bodies to assimilate nutritionally. They don't call it nuking for nothing! That is why implementi...

• Naturally Combat Diabetes with Cinnamon

Studies have shown that botanicals such as cinnamon can improve glucose metabolism and the overall condition of individuals with diabetes - improving cholesterol metabolism, removing artery-damaging free radicals from the blood and improving function of small blood vessels. Onions, garlic, Korean ginseng and flaxseed have the same effect. One reason for the effect seems to be that cinnamon slows the rate at which food passes from the stomach to the intestines. Food supplements such as Cinnergen, developed by the health and technology company eFoodSafety.com, combines a mixture of 12 concentrated whole-food nutrient extracts including cinnamon, oat seed and blueberry leaf, as well as digestive enzymes to improve absorption.

Eat with good form How you eat - not just what you eat - can help control weight and keep your digestive tract healthier, dietitians say:- Sit down. Don't eat while walking around, working, driving or watching television. Distractions make you more likely to overeat.- Take small bites. One good measure: aim for half-inch squares when cutting chewier foods such as meat or fish.- Drink between bites. Don't use liquids to "wash down" big chunks of food. Not only is it a choking hazard, you put more strain on your digestive system. Take small sips of water after each bite to slow your pace.- Chew well. Your food should feel like mush before you swallow. That gives digestive enzymes in your saliva a chance to begin breaking down food before it reaches your stomach.- "Chew" semi-liquid foods,...

• Pet Health Pancreatitis in Dogs -- What Is It?

In the recent months I've seen a surge in the numbers of dogs presented with the signs of pancreatitis. I've noticed their owners have been more inquisitive of the causes, the pathology and the preventative steps to pancreatitis, perhaps more than many other diseases. And at the urging of several of these unfortunate owners, I've decided to write about it in the hopes of preventing your dog from getting it. Let's break down the word "pancreatitis" first. Pancreas refers to the gland located next to the stomach and small intestine that serves two functions -- to provide insulin for the bloodstream and to provide digestive enzymes for the food that enters the small intestines. The word "-itis" is the Latin term for inflammation. So pancreatitis is an inflamed pancreas and in most cases it...
