Basic Optimal Health Principles
1. Feeding and nourishing
your body’s systems
2. Cleansing and removing
toxins from your body
Connecting The Body Systems
1. Colon
2. Small Intestines
3. Liver
4. Lymphatic System
5. Circulatory System
The Digestive System
• Where the nutrients &
many toxins are absorbed
in our bodies
• Learn how the Digestive
System works
Digestion
The process by which food and drink are broken down so the
body can build cells and provide energy
Step One
Feeding and Nourishing the Body Systems
• We chew the food, digestion starts in the mouth.
• As we chew the food, the body produces enzymes
to assist in the digestion process.
Digestion
Step Two
Food moves down into the stomach where
further digestion occurs
• The stomach is the only acidic organ in the body
• The stomach breaks the food down & turns it
into an isotonic liquid-state called CHYME
Digestion
Step Three
This chyme moves down into the small
intestine, for further digestion and
absorption.
• The small intestine is about 21 ft. long &
1.5 inches in diameter
• The small intestine is where most of the nutrient
absorption takes place
Absorption
Inside the small intestine are thousands
of finger-like structures called VILLI,
that increase the surface area for
nutrient absorption.
• This extended surface area
add up to about 200 square
meters (about the surface
area of a tennis court).
Folds In Small Intestine
Villi
Inner
lining,

absorption
occurs

layer
Absorption
Distribution of
Nutrients and Toxins
Every thing that is absorbed through the VILLI
(nutrients, medications, chemicals & toxins) enters
the blood stream and lymphatics, and is then
carried & distributed throughout the body.
Digestion
Step Four
The unused food passes into the large
intestine (colon)
• The colon should eliminate the unused foods and
toxins from our bodies 2 to 3 times each day, and
reabsorb the water that is released in digestive
juices.
• Did you know?
The large intestine is about 5 ft. long and 2.5
inches in diameter
Our Digestive Tract is subjected to toxins
“AUTOINTOXICATION”
The production of toxic chemicals produced by
the colon bacteria, and the continuous diffusion
of these toxins into the colon and ultimately the
blood stream, may result in possible damage to
the colon as well as distant sites in the body.
THE COLON
•The Western diet is full of
white flour, meat, milk, sugar
and processed and “fast”
foods.
•As a result, many people are
exposed to waste build up in
their colons contributing to
“autointoxication”.
How Our Body Handles Toxins
Blood carries toxins to the liver...
• The liver filters blood coming from the
digestive tract.
• Excessive years of toxic exposure may impair
the function and efficiency of the liver.
• If the liver becomes impaired, the toxin
produced by “autointoxication” may also
affect the lymphatic system.
Lymphatic System
Two Main Functions:
1. Protects us from infection (viruses,
bacteria, fungi) and tumors
2. Cleans up waste products
Lymphatic System
Runs along side of the
circulatory system. It
has no pump: fluid is
moved passively during
muscle contraction.
Lymphatic System
• When functioning correctly, the lymphatic
system will dump its waste products into the
colon where it is excreted.
• However, when the colon and liver are not
working to full capacity, the lymphatic
system may release wastes into the
bloodstream where it may settle into organs
and tissues.
Circulatory System
The transport system for your blood
(heart, arteries, veins and capillaries).
• Transport nutrients from intestinal absorption
and carries oxygen from lungs to all cells and
tissues of the body.
• Brings wastes from all cells and tissues to the
kidneys for excretion.
Did You Know?
 All of your body systems must be functioning
properly to achieve optimal health.
 Compromise any of our body’s systems and we:
• Don’t function properly
• Don’t feel well
• Compromise our capacity for optimal health
What is Wrong with the
Current Western Diet?
Wrong Foods -
excessive fats, sugars, processed;
• NOT enough: fresh fruits, vegetables, whole
grains, berries, nuts, plant proteins
Wrong Amounts - portions are often 3-4 times the
normal size
Wrong Time -
eating large meals at dinner, just
before sleep, skipping breakfasts, rushing lunch, etc.
TYPICAL WESTERN DIET
Foods / Ingredients and Their Effect on the Body
Donut
White Flour - When mixed with water makes paste.
Donuts have little to no fiber and have large amounts
of sugar.
Sugars - Destroy B-Vitamins. B-Vitamins feed our nervous
system and help keep us calm. Also, excess sugars can
bind to proteins, cell membranes and even DNA
significantly impairing function.
Hydrogenated Oils -The food industry uses this process
to prolong the shelf life of foods. This “industrial” fat
or hydrogenated oil contributes to heart disease,
inflammation and impairs cell function.
Coffee
Coffee provides excess caffeine, may destroy friendly
bacteria, and is nutrient depleted.
TYPICAL WESTERN DIET
Foods / Ingredients and Their Effect on the Body
Cheese
Burger
More white flour which makes paste. Processed cheese is made
with hydrogenated oils and high in saturated fat and salt.
Ground beef- high in saturated fat, may contain antibiotics
and other chemicals.
French
Fries
Potatoes fried in more hydrogenated oil, high in salt, low in
nutrients. White potatoes rapidly raise blood sugar levels.
Cola, Sodas
Phosphoric acid in soda’s can leach out the calcium in our
bodies. High in sugars, devoid of nutrients.
TYPICAL WESTERN DIET
Foods / Ingredients and Their Effect on the Body
Canned
Foods
Ice Cream
Cookies
Pasteurized
Milk
Loaded with salt, may contain preservatives, less nutritious
than fresh or frozen foods. Use canned foods mostly for
emergencies (power failures, natural disasters, etc.).
High in saturated fat, sugar. May contain many chemicals.
Eat sparingly and in small amounts.
More white flour, hydrogenated oil and sugar.
Calcium from milk is not easily absorbed. Whole milk
is high in saturated fat. Excess dairy products may
promote inflammation.
What To Avoid Or Limit
• Limit animal
protein, high in
saturated fat
• Limit refined
carbohydrates, sodas,
saturated and trans
fats, etc.
WHAT
SHOULD
WE CONSUME
Eat Right
FRESH FRUITS
Fruit is high in fibre, natural sugars, water and loaded
with antioxidants like vitamin C and bioflavonoids.
Fibre - Devoid in many processed foods, drinks, etc.
Important for good bowel function, absorption of toxins,
maintaining healthy cholesterol levels, etc.
Natural sugars - The immediate energy source.
Water - We are 70% water and we need to continuously
hydrate our bodies.
Antioxidant/Bioflavonoids - Plant compounds that have
many beneficial properties beyond antioxidation.
Eat Right
FRESH VEGETABLES
High in antioxidants, phytochemicals, vitamins,
minerals and fiber.
Antioxidants / phytochemicals - provide numerous
health benefits not abundant in processed or fast foods.
Dark green vegetables - great source of calcium,
vitamins and minerals.
No fat / full of fibre - cultures who consume large amounts
of raw vegetables have healthy and long life spans.
WHAT TO INCREASE...
Fresh plant sources, high in fibre,
protein, vitamins, minerals…
WHAT TO INCREASE...
Healthy fats, omega-3 fats
in oily fish and nuts
HEALTHY EATING
To Promote Nourishing and Cleansing our Body Systems
• Choose healthy, unprocessed foods at every meal eat a balance of:
Carbohydrates: complex, unrefined carbohydrates with high
fibre content
Proteins: more plant proteins, less animal proteins
Fats: “healthy fats”, mono-unsaturated, omega-3 fatty acids
• Consume smaller portions, pay attention to portion size.
• Eat more frequently, 4-6 healthy snacks or meals per day, do not
skip meals.
• Consume daily plenty of fresh fruits, raw and steamed vegetables,
whole grains, nuts and berries.
Healthy Eating Tips
• Do not eat when tired or
emotionally upset.
• Create a relaxed
environment for eating.
• Sit quietly, chew
thoroughly.
• Focus on enjoying your
meal.
• Do not drink with your
meals—drink most of your
liquids between meals.
What is the Solution...
1. Feed and adequately nourish
your body systems
2. Cleanse and remove toxins
from the body
What is Optimal Health
• To live life with robust vitality, peak level
of functioning.
• To enjoy physical, mental, emotional, and
spiritual health daily.
• To live free of chronic, degenerative and
age-related challenges.
Nutritional Support for Everyone
Foundations of Optimal Health Regimen
• Omega-3
• OPC-3
(bioflavonoids)
• Vitamins: Vitamin C
& Activated B
Complex
What Is Isotonic
Nutritional Supplementation
• “iso” = same and “tonic” = pressure or tone
• Same fluid pressure as in tears, plasma, lymph
and other body fluids
• Isotonic nutritional supplementation comes in a
powder form and when mixed with the
appropriate amount of water becomes an
isotonic formulation
Isotonic
Nutritional Supplementation
• When a supplement is taken already in isotonic form
and before meals:
• The stomach does not have to digest it, secrete and churn
stomach acids
• The waiting time in the stomach, known as gastric emptying
time is significantly reduced, delivering the nutrients to the
site of absorption in minutes rather than hours
• The nutrients are delivered in a higher concentration
allowing for a more efficient absorption in the small
intestine
• All of these factors allow for more efficient and
enhanced delivery of nutrients into the small
intestine where most absorption takes place.
In Addition To The
Physiologic Advantages
Of Isotonic Delivery
Isotonix Supplements:
• Do not require fillers or binders, since it comes in powder form to
be mixed with a specified amount of water
• Easy to swallow since it becomes a liquid formulation“drink your nutrients”
• You can take several different isotonic supplements together, in
one glass, first thing in the morning- as a “new breakfast juice”
• Maximize delivery and availability of all the nutrients you
consume, so none remain in the large intestine as undigested pills
or tablets- often seen on an x-ray (in the case of calcium tablets)
Who Would Benefit
From Isotonic
Nutritional Supplementation
Everyone and Especially…
• Elderly people - who may hate or have difficulty
swallowing numerous pills
• When digestion is impaired or less efficient
• Those with digestive challenges such as post
operative gastric by-pass clients
• Absorption challenges
• Children- who would rather drink a berry/fruity
solution rather than gulp down their vitamin pills
Omega III – Fish Oils
An omega 3 supplement must provide adequate amounts of purified EPA & DHA
EPA
• Healthy fish oil/fatty acid
• Obtained by eating wild salmon (better than farm raised),
mackerel, sardines and herring
DHA
Another healthy fish oil/fatty acid,
Primary structural Omega 3 found in the brain and retina
Obtain from a diet of fatty fish
The average American's daily intake of DHA is estimated to be
100 mg lower than it was about 50 years ago
• Deficiency may lead to severe mood imbalance
