America’s concern with digestive problems is reaching epidemic proportions, as evidenced by the wealth of over-the-counter and prescription remedies advertised on radio, television, and in print advertising. In fact, there are over 25 million people in this country who suffer from daily stomach discomfort.
There are a number of reasons why so many people experience digestive problems. Our modern diet is increasingly more processed and filled with a variety of non-food chemical agents. Deep-fried and very rich foods are more commonplace. And we often take less time to eat, so we rush our meals and even eat on the run. A number of medications, both OTC (over-the-counter) and prescriptions are typically recommended. Unfortunately, these types of drugs have many potential adverse side effects both short and longterm. Over-eating, alcohol, ice cold beverages, stress, and eating before bed can add to digestive distress. All of these contribute to an interruption of the normal digestive process, and result in a myriad of symptoms that constitute stomach and digestive problems.
These symptoms include heartburn, indigestion, sour stomach, flatulence (gas), nausea, bloating, and belching, all of which make us physically uncomfortable, and can interfere with our activity levels. When we experience these types of discomforting symptoms, we will typically sit or lie down to alleviate them, and we create a cycle of pain and inactivity. We eat, experience unpleasant digestive symptoms, and are literally forced into a state of inactivity in an effort to recover. This vicious cycle is one more contributing factor in Americans’ struggle with being overweight or obese.
Of the dozens of medical drugs available, many are contraindicated with some foods and other medications, making them ineffective or unavailable to many. Some have harmful side effects. Fortunately there are a number of natural and traditional remedies - homeopathic, enzymatic, and botanical - that have been used for years, safely and effectively, to alleviate these annoying symptoms.
Diet plays the most important part in good digestive health. Eating healthy nutritious food is the number one way to avoid digestive problems. If, in spite of a healthy, balanced diet, you still experience stomach distress, there are a number of natural remedies available to help you. Check with your health food retailer to find the product that is right for you.
