Most Recent Posts How to Improve Your Digestion.Posted Jul-30-07 15:08:03 PDT Eating is vital for the human being, because through it the organism obstains the energy it needs for all the systems that make it up to work properly, however, we often skip some basic principles that result in a series of ailments, mainly in the digestive system, that can be avoided by symple precautionary measures. The organs that intervene in digestion utilize mechanical and chemical means to transform food into simpler substances that are assimilated by the tissues and thus provide our body with fuel. The digestive process starts in the mouth. We chew the food to make smaller,softer pieces, which we can swallow. The enzymes present in saliva act to break down the food molecules and transform them into substances that are easier to digest. Along the digestive tract other chemical reactions are produced which work to transform the carbohidrates, rupture the proteines and convert fatty accids. The gastric juice secreted in the stomach helps to break down the nutrient's down even more. The stomach's movement push the food toward the small intestine. There, the food is mixed with pancreas liquid, bile and the intestine's own secretion, which finish breaking it down. Through tiny projections called villi on a membrane that covers the small intestine, the useful susbstances are absorbed and enter the blood to be used by the body. The substances that cannot be digested and are useless to the organism are transformed in the colon into a solid mass that is discarded through defecation. Digestive Disorders We've all suffered at one time or another from indigestion, a rather imprecise term used to describe a wide variety of gastrointestinal problems, such as dyspepsia ( pain or discomfort in the upper part of the abdomen or the chest ), nausea, rumination, globus sensation ( the feeling of having a lump in your throat ) and even halitosis or bad breath. The accelerated lifestyle to which we are accustomed leads us to neglect our eating. Everyone eats as they can,at different times and with hihg-calorie convenience food or ready meals, washed down with carbonated drinks. Exercise, on the other hand, doesn't normally have a prominent role in his spectrum. These factors do not help in good digestion, and this becomes manifest in diverse disorders: Welcome to my Omnilife Blog...Here is my testimony.Posted Jul-20-07 07:49:06 PDT Hello and welcome to my blog. I'll start with my personal testimony. I was diagnose with a herniated disk in 1998.My doctor recommended surgery but I was affraid and refuse...for the next 4 yrs. I stay home suffering..somedays were good but some days were horrible...if you have back problems you understand :( I have ciatic..and because of this I lost the feeling on my right leg...between my knee and my ankle. In 2000 one of my sisters told me about Omnilife...but since the doctors told me that my disk was GONE!! I never though I could do anything else to help me...finnally in 2001 I went to visit my family in California and my sister insisted that I try the products...which I did just to make her happy. I started taking Power Gain,Omniplus and C Max. To my amazement I was PAIN FREE within 3 days!!!!! I told my sister I WANT THIS!!! I join the company in order for me to #1 Be able to buy them from home...and #2 To save money of course. I came home and told my husband...which didn't believe in natural products...and He told me..If you believe...go ahead and take them....He immediately saw my change...I was actually MOVING!!! I ask Him to put a fence around the garden and I sat there and painted ..He couldn't believe it!!! After taking care of my back....I started taking care of my HORRIBLE PMS..I added another product call FEM...I can't tell You how long after..but my Mood change..I wasn't bloated or moody when I got my period. Within 3-5 months I started feeling a tingling sensation on my right leg...the one that I had no feeling..and keep telling my husband.." I think I feel something"...Well within 6 months after I started taking the products I REGAIN THE FEELIN ON MY LEG!!!.... I got back to work....after been inactive for 4 yrs..I open a food stand...now this is a LOT of work!!!! But I was feeling GREAT!! I decided to close the business after 3 yrs. because my kids are getting ready to go to college and I wanted to spend more time with them :) I started selling clothing and other items on Ebay.....and now I think is time to let people know about this AWSOME company..and help them to feel better.
