If you experience any discomfort in the abdominal area, or have that fat that never goes away even when you lose weight or do exercise, you may have issues with your digestion. Here are some tips to get you by.

A very common health situation involves digestion. Food quality, food allergies, refined carbohydrates, genetically modified foods lead to the inability of the body to correctly digest food. The result?

Abdominal pain, burning feeling in the upper abdomen, heartburn, nausea, abdominal bloating, belching, vomiting, flatulence and, of course, that "tire" around the waist.

The liver, pancreas and gallbladder are closely connected to the digestive tract. The liver is similar to a chemical processing factory and has many functions, including the production of the digestive liquid called bile. The gallbladder stores and concentrates this bile, while the pancreas produces a juice that contains powerful digestive enzymes.

As the liver is one of the largest and most important internal organs, especially in the digestive system I wanted to explain more about it.

The liver produces cholesterol and bile* from the breakdown of dietary fat and old red blood cells. Using amino acids* it makes protein and stores iron, vitamins and more. It also removes substances such as poisons and waste products from the blood, excreting them or converting them to safer substances.

The liver is the most vulnerable to deficits in function. Today’s diet, combined with environmental stresses and a hectic lifestyle, subject the liver to too many refined carbohydrates, fats, chemical toxins, and devitalized foods that can disrupt the liver’s intricate biochemical processes. Because it is responsible for eliminating the very toxins that cause these disruptions, any deficits in liver function can lead to a cycle of liver deterioration.

Performing over five hundred different functions each day, the liver requires many different nutrients to operate efficiently. Nutrients to support healthy liver function are vital in many cases and certain foods can aid digestion, such as leafy green fresh vegetables.

The irritation and choking of nerves in the spinal cord (subluxation) can cause communication to this vital organ and other parts of the digestive tract to be interrupted, and therefore nutrients and messages necessary to operate correctly never reach the area. The reverse of that is; communication from the liver is altered resulting in even more confusion.

Chiropractic adjustments assist in restoring communication and can greatly improve function.
