Pineapples, like many fruits and vegetables, contain active enzymes that help digestive the nutrients it contains. But, these enzymes are often destroyed by cooking, or depleted by their long journey from the farm to the grocery store.
You might only notice healthy digestion when you don't have it. Most people don't even think about their digestion until symptoms start. Enzyme supplements & probiotics can make a significant difference for you digestive health...
The digestive process takes food material, breaks it down into absorbable pieces and transports it into the body. It is a complex process, involving many organs. Digestion begins with the scent of food stimulating the secretion of saliva. When food enters the mouth enzymes in the saliva begin to break it down. Chewing physically breaks down food pieces and stimulates saliva production. The mucus membranes of the mouth can absorb some nutrients.
Swallowed food travels don the esophagus and into the stomach. The stomach uses muscular contractions to mix the food with digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid. High acid levels kill germs that may be in the food. Food stays in the stomach longer if it contains more fat and shorter if it contains more sugar.
The small intestine attaches to the stomach. Near it's beginning, ducts from the liver and pancreas release digestive juices. Nutrients are absorbed through the thin intestinal wall and transported via the bloodstream, to where they are needed. The remainder of the food is pushed through into the large intestine where water is absorbed. The remaining food is compacted and prepared for excretion as stool.
The liver produces bile, which metabolizes fats and proteins. It also takes the toxic material from food substances, like medications, alcohol, and hormones, and processes them to make them harmless. The liver produces factors for blood clotting and the immune system. The gallbladder is a storage area for bile from the liver. The pancreas manufactures enzymes and hormones, like insulin. Insulin allows cells to take in sugar to burn as fuel.
Many foods that we eat, other substances we consume and our lifestyles contribute to digestive disorders. Highly processed foods, alcohol, medications and tobacco are difficult for our body to break down and cause great strain on our organs, such as the liver and pancreas. They may also physically damage the digestive lining. Processed foods are also deficient in nutrients so not only does the body have to work extra hard to digest the food, but it also gets depleted of the things it needs to do its work. Water and fibre intake is important to have proper moisture and bulk in the stool and make bowel movements regular.
BLACK WALNUT
Black walnut fights parasites, fungal infections and aids with healing ...
Black walnut is primarily used to treat parasitic infections in the gastrointestinal tract. It contains compounds that kill some forms of parasites. It also has laxative activity to flush to parasites out of the body. Externally it has been used to heal wounds and fight fungal or b\viral (warts) skin infections. Some studies show that black walnut may be useful to treat high blood pressure and cholesterol.
Parasites follow egg and larval phases with hatching usually occurring around the time of the full moon. Most anti-parasitic herbs will not kill the parasites if they are still in the eggs. It is most effect to begin parasite cleansing around the time of the full moon and to continue cleansing for a few moon cycles. When doing a parasite cleanse it is advisable to seek help from a health professional who can monitor your progress and decrease possible treatment side effects.
Most black walnut supplements are made as encapsulated dried husks or bark, a tincture of the same plant parts or loose dried herb. Do not use black walnut for prolonged periods of time because it contains chemicals that can cause cell mutations. For the same reason black walnut should not be used during pregnancy. You can become dependent on the laxative activity of black walnut.

YARROW
Yarrow is beneficial for balancing hormones
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is a flowering plant that was used in ancient times to stop the bleeding from battle wounds. More recently, yarrow has primarily been thought of as a tonic for the digestive and female hormonal systems. Yarrow has a number of beneficial effects on health; It is useful as a sedative, anti-inflammatory, digestive, antispasmodic, and tonic. It can be used to treat conditions such as: insomnia, anxiety, muscle spasms, digestive disturbance, diarrhea, headaches, pain, fevers, and the symptoms of the common cold.
Digestion and Antispasmodic
Yarrow can be used as a digestive bitter that promotes the increased secretion of digestive juices. This increases the secretion of saliva, stomach acid, digestive enzymes and bile, all of which promotes better digestion and helps to alleviate symptoms of: gas, bloating, and constipation.

Because yarrow also has antispasmodic abilities, it can help to reduce spasms in the digestive tract, including IBS, and gallbladder attacks.
