Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a scientific approach to the study of indigestion and the many factors that can cause it. It explores the breakdown of food in the body, beginning with how saliva breaks down starches in the mouth all the way through to the role of bacteria in the colon. In doing so, the author aims to debunk the long-held belief that indigestion is solely the result of deficiencies in the stomach. Tackling the subject in great depth, this book provides a comprehensive examination of the causes of indigestion and explores how foods can either help or hinder the digestive process. It considers the impact of factors such as improperly cooked starches, irregular eating habits, stress, and modern dietary habits on our ability to digest food. By studying the research in this field, the author seeks to illustrate the importance of considering the patient as a whole when diagnosing and treating indigestion.
