Welcome back to the Cabral concept. I'm Stephen Cabral, board certified naturopathic

doctor and today on our Total Wellness Tuesday edition I have something to

bring to you is a tip that I give to all of my digestive-based clients meaning like all of the clients that I see

wellness clients in my wellness practice in Boston all of them come in well

digestive base at least with issues surrounding bloating gas burping indigestion heart

burn IBS Crohn's clites some type of digestive-based issue and what I'd like to do is

I like to explain the digestive system and how that works to them, but I also then just give

them this one simple tip that I'm going to get to in one second.

So this one tip though just makes it so much easier for your body to digest and that means you get to expend less energy.

A lot of people forget that about a third of the body's energy, its capacity, what it needs

to actually produce energy on a daily basis goes to

digestion and if digestion is weak

meaning that you're producing less of the enzymes, less of the hydrochloric acid and

bio you're going to have to expend more energy with your body to break down all that

food and so here's how it works essentially when you put food into your mouth you need to chew it up really well.

If you're not chewing up really well, of course, then it's going to cause more distress for your stomach.

Your stomach has to produce more acid, it has to do more churning to break down that food.

That's the second part is the acid. The third part, what we're going to do

is we're going to have your gallbladder and liver going to actually use this stuff called

bile. And the bile is going to be dropped into the first part of that small intestine called

the duodum.

Very, very important.
