🔥Why is digestion so important?🔥

A healthy digestive system will:

🔥Strengthen immune response

🔥Clear skin

🔥Increase energy levels

A strong digestive system will more effectively absorb all the nutrients and energy from the food you are eating.

A diet of highly processed and refined foods make less work for the digestive system, weakening it over time.

Single ingredient foods in their most natural form are familiar to the body and will be broken down more efficiently. Examples include:

🔥Whole Grains

🔥Legumes

🔥Fruit

🔥Vegetables

🔥Lean Meats

🔥Nuts

These foods strengthen the digestive fire.

🪨What are minerals and why do we need them?🪨

Essential and trace minerals are crucial for our health. There are thousands of minerals on earth.
The ones that are called essential minerals can be split into two categories:

Major minerals, which can be found in large quantities in the body:

🪨Calcium

🪨Chloride

🪨Magnesium

🪨Phosphorus

🪨Potassium

🪨Sodium

Trace minerals, which are found in small amounts, but are just as important:

🪨Chromium

🪨Copper

🪨Fluoride

🪨Iodine

🪨Iron

🪨Manganese

🪨Molybdenum

🪨Selenium

🪨Zinc

Each of these minerals is essential for the normal and healthy function of our bodies. For example, calcium helps keep our bones and teeth strong, magnesium helps maintain a healthy nervous system, while iron supports many vital functions, such as the immune system and gastrointestinal processes. What’s important to note about all these minerals is that we hardly ever notice their benefits, but we do notice when one of them is a little off balance.
