If you Know Homeostasis, you Know Health – TBoSS #8
The To Be of Service Show #8 (TBoSS)

John Daly here,
I thought I’d go over a term that I use quite frequently when I’m discussing health with people and that is “Homeostasis”. Though I’ve expanded the definition of the word to include mental and emotional well-being, it does give a good foundation for understanding how the body perpetually tries to restore equilibrium to the body’s temperature (98.6F), it’s blood ph level (7.365) and even blood glucose levels during our day-to-day lives.
Understanding this process we can start to see that when we reduce the stressful foods, relationships and lifestyle choices from our lives we can open ourselves to a higher degree of well-being.
Research I recommend on these subjects:
Dr. Robert Young’s “The pH Miracle”

&
Herman Aihara’s “Acid and Alkaline”

Digestive Enzymes, Nutrition and Your Health
Nutrition by Natalie
Information about Digestive Enzymes
Digestive Enzymes are enzymes that specifically work in the digestive system to facilitate the digestion, absorption, and transportation of nutrients. They also work to promote timely elimination of digestive waste products that are not of use to the body. Without enzymes, our cells would not get adequate nutrition and we would not survive.
Enzymes function as catalysts to enhance and dramatically speed up biochemical reactions that occur in every one of our cells. They are only activated in water, so staying hydrated is very important for enzymes to work effectively. Enzymes must be present to ensure proper digestion of nutrients, energy production, metabolism, transportation of fluid to cells, and elimination of toxins among many other functions.
Enzymes exist in foods to help our body’s breakdown what we eat. Raw, uncooked foods are the only foods that contain enzymes. Since the majority of our diets are cooked foods, we significantly limit the enzymes available in our food for digestion, thus putting more stress on our digestive systems. Some supplemental enzymes should be taken with food to enhance digestion and absorption of nutrients, whereas other supplemental enzymes should be taken on an empty stomach to support circulation, decrease inflammation, support our immune systems and combat stress. Imbalances in these factors have been scientifically proven to be ociated with or the cause of numerous diseases.
