that incompletely digested proteins laying dormant in the intestines and bowels, can ferment, or putrefy, (depending upon the other substances we put in our bodies). Without whole grains or fruits and vegetables, COMPLETE protein digestion cannot take place. Additionally, without grains and/or fruits and vegetables, there is no fiber to clear this rotting matter from intestines and colon. Left rotting in the colon, their presence can lead to polyps

I will simplify this formula in bullet form at the bottom of this article. Prior to doing so, I want to give one word of warning. If you, like my younger self, have subsisted on fast food, coffee, cola's, white flours and grains, sugary pastries and candies, your body will rebel at a quick transition. Over the years, rather than digesting foods with a healthy supply of digestive juices, your body has had to rely upon other methods. Fermentation, (when sugars and grains combine). Putrification, (when bacteria must form to dissolve food matter enough that it can push through to the lower intestine, liver, gall bladder, etc).

When menopause hit me while living in a very HOT climate, my body shut down. I gained weight for the first time in my adult life. I could not move about readily to get any exercise. I was living with other people who cooked in the manner I had known as a child. Lots of pastas, (white), heavy gravies with white flour, heavily cooked vegetables. No fruit. It took a toll. When trying to alleviate the situation, (after moving from that environment), my body was quick to complain. The foods I was re-introducing were not digesting well. I told my body to STOP digesting by ingesting sugar, in some form. Sugar production, especially in the stomach, is a signal to the body that digestion is finished. ALL FOODS, are finally and ultimately converted into sugar, after all the nutrients are extracted.

I "played this game" with my body over several months. But the "meals" I continued to partake in were healthy. With the addition of yogurt, to introduce healthy bacteria back into my stomach, and by using apple cider vinegar or lemon juice in my salad dressing, (closest in composition to our stomach acidwhite vinegar is NOT), I was soon able to resume my healthy way of eating without having to stop the digestion process due to discomfort. Similarly, my physical activity had to be gently reintroduced. Walking too long a distance only released toxins into an already-stressed-out system, causing joint pain, nausea
