The body, blood, skin, organs, bones, mucous, phlegm, water, etc. build up and break down, largely according to the food, nutrients provided. Edema is the accumulation of fluid in the soft tissues. It can occur anywhere in the body: head, arms, legs, etc and is generally caused by poor diet and or weak digestion. Edema is more common in women than in men.
The body digests, transforms food, nutrients into blood, into structure into function, into health or disease. There are only two kinds of nutrients: building and cleansing. Building nutrients (protein and fat) build and fuel all structure and function. Cleansing nutrients (water, minerals, sugar, etc.) reduce, cleanse, cool and moisten.

How many times have you heard that health begins in the colon? Although this is not a great dinner-time topic for conversation, it is important to remember. A healthy colon is a healthy you.
Here are some easy tips for great digestion.
1. Eat whole unprocessed and unrefined foods such as apples, pears, plums, etc. with their skins. The skins offer benefits as well as the whole foods. Stay away from refined grains such as white rice and white flour. Instead eat whole wheat flour and brown rice. Whole grains are a great source of vitamins such as B and E as well.

GastroIntestinal Reflux Disorder (GIRD) and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) are two common digestive disorders that share similar symptoms: heartburn (burning sensation and or pain in the stomach and or chest, behind the breastbone), abdominal bloating, gas, nausea, shortness of breath and or acidic or sour taste in the throat. Both are generally caused by poor diet: too building or too cleansing.
Digestion is a very simple process. Food is taken via the mouth, chewed, mixed with saliva and sent down via the throat and esophagus into the stomach, where it is mixed with acid and enzymes. This mixture sits and ferments (souring process) before being sent down into the small intestines for further digestion and eventual nutrient absorption into the bloodstream.
