| 1.putting things onto the stomach
2. toxins spilling past the liver into the main blood stream (need to speed up digestion)
3. toxic bile from gallbladder being dumped into the base of the stomach | Describe three ways that the stomach can become physically irritated. |
| They make lactic acid, which improves the digestion of foods and increases absorption, as well as aiding peristalsis of the intestine. | Describe how our intestinal flora aid in the digestive process. |
| Staying physically active
avoiding dehydration
learning to perceive stressful events in the proper context.
Getting enough sleep | Give four examples of how a person can maintain normal testosterone levels. |
| headaches, irritability, frequent infections, depression | List 4 symptoms of sleeping less than 8 hours. |
| 1. If the stomach doesn't churn properly, there will be a lack of digestive juice, therefore poor absorption of minerals, leading to deficiency. 2. Lack of stomach acid also leads to poor protein digestion which is a contributing factor in allergies. 3. Weak stomach acid may not kill off organisms in food resulting in parasites or food poisoning. 4. Undersecretion of stomach juices can cause ulcers. 5. Lack of stomach acid can result in decreased peristalsis, leading to constipation and an overload of toxins. | List four examples of how stomach malfunction can be the beginning of chronic disease. |
| Gallbladder problems start when the liver is so overloaded with intestinal toxins that they get dumped into the duodenum or gallbladder before they are fully neutralized.
These toxins, if left simmering in the gallbladder, can cause so much irritation that the gallbladder begins to malfunction.
If the gallbladder doesn't secrete bile properly, the fats and minerals in the bile can become stones.
The most common symptom associated with gallbladder trouble is feeling worse after eating fatty foods. | How do gallbladder problems start and what is the most common symptom associated with gallbladder trouble? |
| 1. The liver is a filter
2. Regulates the blood sugar levels
3. It is the main regulator of the blood: sugar, fats, protein and hormones, | Describe four functions of the liver. |
| S- Stress management
E- exercise
N- nutrition
S- supplementation
E- evaluation | As per Shawn Talbot, define the acronym SENSE. |
| apple cider vinegar, lemon, cayenne, ginger, grapefruit | Provide 5 examples of foods that stimulate the production of digestive juice, that are light and that do not require much digestion themselves? (Eating Alive) |
| Alarm-immediate activation of the nervous system and adrenals glands, the sudden jolt that a stressor delivers to the body.
resistance-activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Help the body do its thing when stress occurs.
overload-bodily systems start to break down and our risk for chronic disease skyrockets. | Explain the general adaptation syndrome to stress. |
