Heartburn, abdominal bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, migraines, ... 80% of people present to a lesser or greater degree some of these disorders.
These are some of the most frequent symptoms of dysfunctions of the digestive system. We call dysfunction when, in the absence of disease, an organ or viscera can not effectively perform its function.
One of the most frequent causes comes from our diet.
Why food intolerances
Currently it is very common to suffer from intolerance to a food of habitual consumption. This is due, in part, to the development of the food industry that has drastically modified the molecular and genetic structure of many foods, which has led to the appearance of macromolecules for which our enzymes are not adapted.
In addition, the introduction of various chemical products in the organism of livestock and cultivated plants and the subsequent industrial handling, have caused in them the appearance of food toxins and an impoverishment of nutrients.
Some of the less tolerated foods are cow's milk, white sugar and synthetic sweeteners, corn and certain cereals which contain gluten, such as wheat.
Consequences of food intolerance
One of the most common consequences of food intolerance is that which affects the small intestine, which represents the 70% of our immune system, our defenses.
Some foods damage the mucosa of our intestine which becomes hyperpermeable, allowing the passage of potentially "dangerous" substances inside our body, producing its intoxication.
As a consequence, in addition to digestive symptoms, disorders such as:
-
- Respiratory and skin allergies, etc.
- Headaches, migraines, cervicalgia, lumbalgia, pseudo - sciatica, ...
- Asthenia, depression, irritability, fatigue.
- Concentration disorders.
- Sleep disorders.
- Pictures of nonspecific pain such as headaches, cervicalgia, low back pain, pseudo - sciatica, etc.
- Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatic diseases.
How to identify a food intolerance
To diagnose a food intolerance, there are several diagnostic procedures. One of them is Holistic Kinesiology. KH is a non-invasive, comfortable and effective method of evaluation and diagnosis that works at the level of the nervous system. The test consists of the application of different stimuli, such as food, on specific points of our body, and observing the reactions or imbalances that these produce, it is possible to detect the existence of an intolerance towards the food that has provoked such reaction.
