   papaya is the best food for the stomach there is. it’s loaded with enzymes that help the digestive process. Fresh papaya should be eaten on an empty stomach as many times as possible during the day. You can also purchase papaya tablets at any natural food store. You can use these to replace the enzymes in your stomach.

   Do you suffer with heartburn and indigestion? If so the reason could be lack of enzymes in the stomach. When enzymes are present the acid that builds up in the stomach is reduced, sometimes even neutralized. I have personally seen many people totally reverse their stomach problems with enzymes.

   Your body is a living enzyme organism and you need live enzyme food that is properly digested, properly assimilated and allows waste to be properly eliminated. There are literally hundreds of thousands of enzymes active in every organ, tissue, and fluid of your body, and each has its own specific function. Enzymes digest our food and convert it into substances that fortify our muscles, nerves and glands.

   Enzymes assist kidneys, lungs, liver, skin and colon in their important eliminative tasks. Actually, it would be easier to list what they don’t do, for they are indeed involved in every aspect of our lives. In other words, Enzymes move our muscles, stimulate our nerves, make our hearts beat, keep us breathing and even cause us to think!
   •ENZYMES are catalysts
   •ENZYMES are required by all food to be digested
   •ENZYMES are destroyed by cooking and processing food
   •ENZYMES from an animal source are only active within the small intestine
   •ENZYMES from a plant source become active as soon as they enter the body
   •ENZYMES are needed for every chemical reaction that takes place in the body
   •ENZYMES are connected to every working organ in our body and run our life processes
   •ENZYMES are needed by vitamins and minerals to accomplish their delivery within the body
   •ENZYMES can prevent proteins, carbohydrates, fats from fermenting and turning rancid in your system
   •Purify Blood
   •Enhance Mental Capacity
   •Strengthen The Immune System
   •Cleanse The Colon
   •Break Down Fats
   •Enhance Sleep
   •Lower Cholesterol
   •Shed Excess Weight & Fat
   •Bacteria Balance in the Intestinal Tract
   •Improve Aging Skin

   dairy or any products that are basic(not acidic) heartburn is caused by a buildup of stomach acid eating basic foods will neutralize the acid

   I was told that bananas were the best natural cure for heartburn, not milk like so many believe. As far as everyday foods, that probably differs for everyone. Probably avoiding citrus and tomato products as well as heavy spices should avoid most incidences of heartburn.

   1.Your best friend is bulk oatmeal which is cooked so easily in the dreaded microwave(stovetop is better) but this is easy so will get it done before work every day and at night for a cinnamon-rich snack and no acid nighttime surprises.

   I soak my oats the night before so i can just stick it in the microwave

   buy bulk oats and keep in a clear cannister next to the micro with a 1/2 cup measuring cup in it

   put into bowl:
   1/2 cup oatmeal oats
   3- 1/2 cups of water

   ( i add cranberries or blueberries if u like or a piece of seaweed)

   Microwave on 5 power for 5 minutes!!

   add cinnamon, maple syrup, cool whip if it gets you to eat it. lol
   I use cool whip and organic cinnamon on it for a nighttime treat instead of soy yogurt ice cream.

   OATS ARE GREAT FOR THE HEART AND SOOTHING AS WELL.

   2. ALOE VERA JUICE—george’s brand is soothing to all aspects of the gastrointestinal system….george’s tastes like water..the other brands are more viscous and take getting used to.

   3. rice and other bland foods with cooked carrots and a bit of seaweed is delicious

   4. vegetarian diet, esp vegan diet is good for the compassionate side of the peoples and helps the burning caused by meat proteins.
   Pasta salad with garbanzo beans and sliced beets and carrots cookedin the pasta water is good hot or cold

   5. bananas flamb’e in a little earth balance spread with organic cinnamon is a blast

   6. homeopathics remedies will assist the body in healing

   7.CHAMOMILE , a relaxant and anti-inflammatory remedy that helps the whole digestive tract……get the most natural organic form at the health food store or mexican market teas for 99 cents

   avoid coffee, alcohol, tobacco, pastries or spicy foods of coure, but you already found that out lol

   meditation, sauna, hot tub, massage weekly also help with stress reduction …………..love others and yourself.
