It is easy to ignore the importance of healthy digestion.  The industrialized food diet most commonly consumed today is very difficult to digest.  Processed sugars, dairy products, excessive omega-6 fatty acids, flour and other processed grains are especially irritating to the human digestive tract, resulting in chronic inflammation, poor microfloral balance, reduced immune function, and nutrient mal-absorption.  If a significant portion of our diet includes these pro-inflammatory foods, it will hinder nutrient absorption even when we intend to eat healthier foods.  The liver, gall bladder, pancreas, and other organs become burdened and over-worked.  Transitioning to a Mediterranean diet along with periodic cleansing and specific whole food supplimentation can return your digestion back to a natural balance.  With improved digestion, treatment of other nutritional deficiences is much more effective.
