It is important to figure out what is bothering your digestive tract, since indigestion is not only a symptom but a condition that can lead to more serious ailments. You should be aware of how your medications affect your digestion and you should probably avoid foods that bother you.

Cabbage Cures?

They say cabbage heals ulcers and prevents cancer. Here is one great site for finding information: The World’s Healthiest Foods: Cabbage.

Some people drink cabbage juice (the fresh juice is sweet, with a bit if an edge). If you buy a good WIDE MOUTHED juicer, the process is quite easy.

The Zone Diet

Dr. Barry Sear’s Zone Diet shows you how to balance lean protein with favorable carbohydrates and heart-heathy fats. In fact while taking a medication that often causes dangerous weight gains, I actually lost pounds thanks to the Zone Diet.
