Heal Your Digestive Tract

It is no secret that highly acidic forming food is destructive to the body. In order to help heal the digestive tract, the first thing required is to stop eating highly acid forming food and start eating live foods. Processed foods, even cooked foods may not be ideal for the digestive tract.

Eating "live" or raw plant-based foods can start the healing process in the digestive tract. Even this by itself may not be enough to fully heal the digestive tract. This is where a high quality supplement may be necessary to implement in your dietary routine.

One source of supplementation is the herb known as artichoke which helps to heal all parts of the digestive tract. A high quality artichoke extract will help to repair the digestive tract from top to bottom. If you choose to try raw artichoke, you may find yourself chewing for a good twenty minutes because the leaves are tough. The young artichoke would be easier to eat raw.

In addition to healing the digestive tract, artichoke is believed to provide overall healing as well as providing rejuvenation and anti-aging benefits. In order to absorb nutrients effectively, the digestive tract must be healthy. Even eating healthy foods will not be nourishing to the body if the digestive tract is damaged. Supplementing with artichoke extract as well as eating live foods will help make a difference in correcting this damage.

By fully healing the digestive tract, the body is able to effectively absorb vitamin B12, which is produced in the lower portion of the intestinal tract. This happens by the natural process of fermentation when food is eaten. Vitamin B12 is not an animal food, rather it is created bacteria.
