The digestive system is often overlooked for it's importance until, we find ourselves with heart burn or signs of intestinal imbalance such as constipation or diarrhea.
The digestive and intestinal systems are two different and unique systems, but work together for your optimum health. The digestive system is responsible for turning the nutrients of our food into the various forms that it can be utilized by all organs and glands. And the intestines are primarily responsible for removing those things we eat that can't be absorbed and the wastes that come back from our other organs and cells.
Spinal misalignments can pinch or put pressure on the nerves that are transmitting signals from the brain, that are needed for proper function of the digestive and intestinal systems. When the systems are not in peak operating condition, you may experience headaches, back aches, unwanted weight gain or loss, depressive moods, an overall lack of energy, as well as other symptoms.
Other medical conditions and prescription drugs, as well as the food we eat can also have negative affects on both of these critical systems.
