Good breast health starts in the gut

IF YOUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM DOESNT WORK WELL, NOTHING WORKS WELL.


The gut is responsible for the processing of the food we eat and absorbing the nutrients, vitamins and minerals needed for the body to function properly and keep healthy. Hormones and the nervous system coordinate digestion and absorption. Everyday factors such as poor diet, stress, illness and certain drugs can have a detrimental effect on the gut and can inhibit digestion. Stress is a normal part of life in today’s modern society however, problems arise when our lives cause an abnormal amount of stress, and one of the first parts of the body to react to stress is our digestive system.


Gluten

Nutrient absorption is efficient because the Gastrointestinal tract is folded with several surfaces for absorption and these surfaces are lined with villi (hairlike projections) and microvilli cells. If we are gluten intolerant, an immune reaction occurs that causes the villi to become damaged, which interferes with the body’s ability to absorb nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, even water in some cases.

A gluten-free diet allows the body to repair and heal itself because it is no longer being challenged and attacked by the immune system.


Grains and Sugars

Refined grains are energy-dense but nutrient-sparse. Grains disturb insulin levels.

Insulin helps control sex hormones estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone as well. Insulin helps control the manufacture of cholesterol . DHEA levels are directly correlated with insulin levels.


Sugar is an addictive substance and depresses the immune system. Sugar lowers the ability of enzymes to function and interferes with absorption of protein, both necessary for health digestion. Sugar also feeds cancer cells. Any time you have excess sugar you store it as fat and any time you are deficient you burn up your muscle. Eliminating sugar as much as possible has a dramatic effect on your health. Here is a list of reasons why we should eliminate sugar from our diet: http://bit.ly/dnBaj4 .


If you made no other adjustments to your diet but eliminated or vastly reduced grains and sugars, particularly processed, it is likely your health would rapidly improve and within days you’d start losing weight and bloating. Within weeks you’d have a very noticeable improvement in health and weight. Within months, in addition to the dramatic health and weight improvement, you’d also be experiencing a tremendous increase in your energy, mental acuity and positive focus.


What to eat?

We have come across a list of foods and drinks allowed/not allowed. It may be a worthwhile starting guide for you: http://bit.ly/NkD3P


Your future is your choice. It requires action.

Usually we rediscover health only when it is taken from us.


Your breast health starts with your digestive health

Case 1 – 39yo, two young children. Painful, lumpy breasts. MEM images showed excess glandular tissue (hormonal imbalance and higher risk). 3 months of diet change and probiotics. Repeat images showed breast tissue less glandular. Lumps reduced, tenderness subsided, feeling of wellness and energy.

Case 2 – 49yo cyclical tenderness and lumps. Years of high carbohydrate and sugar consumption. One month elimination glutens, grains and sugars settled down breast symptoms, improved MEM images, bloating gone, clearer thinking, feeling of wellness and happiness.

Case 3 – 54yo with history of auto immune, chronic fatigue, hypothyroid, uterine fibroids, stress, breast lumps, poor digestive and liver functions. MEM images show severe hormonal imbalance (glandular tissue), cystic breast tissue, irregular breast anatomy, higher conductivity in one breast suggesting tissue change. High risk. 3 months of gluten, grain, sugar and lactose elimination showed improved MEM images, softened breast tissue, bloating gone, weight loss, positive feelings of health, increased energy.


Safe Breast Imaging can provide you with a picture of your current breast health. It is your starting point and allows you the opportunity to improve your breast and overall health and reduce your risk of serious poor health. It is not too late to change, but it is necessary.
