HUMAN ANATOMY STOMACH

Did you know that;
In our stomach the food and liquids we take in are mixed with digestive juices. These are all mixed together within the stomach until they are small adequate to be absorbed into our system. The curious part is that each day this all adds up to about 11.5 liters which flows through the digestive system. Out of that entire whole only approx. 100mls is of no value to us, and ends up being passed through the bowels as feces.

Did you know that;
The stomach has to break down the distinct types of food we ingest. One of these being protein. To do the job the stomach secretes enzymes and hydrochloric acid. The stomach is so sufficient at its job that between 2-6 hours later it is totally emptied of its contents and is ready for the next batch. Now you know why you're hungry.

Did you know that:
You liver is a food inspector? One of the jobs of the liver is to survey the nutrients that are going to go to our bloodstream. Its job is to contribute detoxification by getting rid of the impurities. This assists the digestion process. Good think to keep your liver in top working condition.

Did you know that:
That by our not finding after our digestive ideas properly we could be hurting our financial economy? Well at least indirectly anyways. Digestive problems cost Approx billion every year in America, in both direct costs and individuals suffering from these problems who cannot work.

Did you know that:
We may be able to help control indigestion by the way we cook? In order for us to properly suck in our food it takes 100 of enzymes of many distinct varieties. There are enzymes in our food, but we destroy these when we cook our food. So because the body needs them it is forced to develop them. After a while our body may get tired of doing all this extra work, so it will go on attack and not yield a sufficient amount. Then once that happens, you best start heading for the antacids, because you are in for a bout of indigestion. With the germs and pesticides and other things that are foods are exposed to, unfortunately we surely don't have a choice but to completely cook our foods.

And recovery the best for last...

Did you know that:
You could stand on your head and the food would still get down to your stomach? Now we surely recommend that you don't do this. The think it will get down there, is because the esophagus is about 25 cm., long, and our muscles will compact in waves to push the food down these 25 cm..

These facts that we have just covered are very curious to most people. By listening to them or reading them, you have in case,granted yourself with some fairly titanic knowledge about the digestive system. Dream that, being able to learn something about the human body without becoming overwhelmed or bored. Now that is interesting!

From notice stimulating these varied pressure points, a estimate of powerful effects have been found, even though these meridians cannot be physically identified. It's been developed over at least a concentrate of millennia; the follow of needling many exact points in the human body. The Meridian theory could be described as a network of vigor streams in the body that lead to exact centers, such as lungs, heart, and many other vital parts of the body. There are many charts and graphs that map these available.

Within these charts, are a estimate of definite points along the meridians that are called acupoints. Some of these meridians have many acupoints, while others less. The distances between them differ as well. No wonder it took so long to examine them. It's believed the meridians are the pathways of Qi (or energy) in the human body. Qi is a thought central to Taoist beliefs. It's carefully to be the life-force behind everything. It's come up in many former cultures together with those of Japan, India, Greek, African, and many others. It's a key concern of Chinese medicine Practitioners. The idea with acupuncture is that Qi flow is like a river. It ultimately flows to a main body of water. Within these flows there are numerous currents.

Acupuncture practitioners apply pressure with needles to these known acupoints, and feel that it changes the pattern of Qi to less turbulent flow, stopping problems caused by the improper flow. There are many conditions that have at least been improved, if not removed by acupuncture rendered by a practiced (and qualified) professional. They often work from distant points in the meridians to ones close to the area causing problems. While longterm medicine can have it's benefits, often a single session can at once show impressive results as well.

Another aspect of acupuncture theory is how it has elaborated on different disease patterns, as well as their extent. This is where it gets more complex. Often the practitioner will have to distinguish between organ disharmony (Zang Fu), and channel problems. The latter often showing quicker results from acupuncture, though both situations being very treatable with this alternative method.

Overall, Bellevue acupuncture is without fail sought by many to alleviate many problems, some finding the results thoroughly effective. While others find that accepted and alternative means solve their problems better.
