Today, we move forward with digestion and elimination, related to detoxification, a new topic that has become pretty popular. There are lots of sites and companies out there selling various products that promise complete body detoxification. However, our information and tips will focus on detoxing through natural and nutritional food sources. Many physicians believe that detoxing with nutritious food is the best choice because you know that what you are ingesting is healthy and pure.
Indigestion
Many people suffer from indigestion without ever knowing the cause. They take over the counter medicines for quick fixes, only to have it return often. So, although there are quick fixes, permanent fixes come from changing your eating habits and ridding the body of toxic acids. Indigestion can be caused by many things including increased secretion of acid, decreased secretion of acid, enzymes and other digestive factors.

Heartburn
Heartburn can be one of the most painful digestive symptoms out there. Many who experience it for the first time may confuse it with a heart attack. Others may not know what they are experiencing, only that they are going through severe pain in a dangerous area, the chest. Many hospital emergency rooms report mistaken self diagnosis from those rushing to the hospital thinking they are suffering from a heart attack. They also report almost just as many deaths from those mistaking a heart attack for heartburn and not going to the hospital. Heartburn though, is usually caused by over eating.

Detoxing to Eliminate Heartburn & Indigestion
We learned from our last blog that detoxing and cleansing the body can take care of many problems our bodies face. We also learned that indigestion and heartburn are normally caused by the various foods we eat, over eating and improper digestive functions. The good news is, detoxing can play a key role in the elimination of indigestion and heartburn. Eating better, healthier foods will keep our liver, kidney and digestive systems functioning properly. And, when you perform natural detox, you are cleaning your body out and getting rid of the junk. You are then replacing it with healthy fruits and vegatables full of the vitamins and minerals our bodies need to function at an optimal level.
Here are a few tips that will assist you in getting rid of indigestion and heartburn.
1. Perform a natual green juice fast.
The fast will allow your body to cleanse and sort of start with a clean slate. The green juice will provide your body with the nutrients you need while you are cleansing.
2. Incorporate solid, healthy food back into your system slowly.
Make sure that you don't go into a fasting shock and incorporate healthy foods back into your diet slowly. Take 2 weeks and add first your vegetables. Then incorporate the fruit into your diet and stay on fruit and veggies for an additional 2 weeks. And finally, incorporate healthy grains and nuts back in to your diet.
By following the aforementioned steps, you will feel a huge difference. You will no longer suffer from heartburn and indigestion. And, if you continue to suffer from these problems, you should consult your doctor immediately. This may be a sign of a more serious digestive problem.
Immediate Relief Tips
For those who are in immediate relief from heartburn and indigestion, here are a few tips that can assist you.
1. Drink Peppermint Tea
Peppermint tea is best for indigestion and works quickly. It allows you to expell gas, tastes great. The best tea to drink is a pure loose leaf tea. Take the tea and place it in a tea pouch and place the pouch in your cup. Boil water and pour it into the cup that your peppermint tea pouch is in. Let it steep for 10 - 20 minutes, depending on how strong you want it, and drink down immediately.
Peppermint is also easy to grow at home and readily available in most grocery stores. If you grow it at home, you can actually pluck a leaf and eat it.
2. Drink Lemon & Water Before a Meal
Another great trick is to squeeze half a lemon into a cup of water and drink it prior to eating. This works great if you expect to suffer from indigestion. and, because this is the day before Thanksgiving, this will be the perfect time to try this as we all tend to over eat on this particular holiday.
3. Eat an Orange
Eating an orange provides great relief because it relaxes the digestive tract.
4. Juice Fresh Ginger Root
Juice and drink fresh ginger root and then squeeze a little lemon into it to help with the taste. Ginger is amazing for ridding the body of indigestion and heartburn. However, ginger root juice has a super strong taste.
