Different parts of healing metabolism 1. Peristalsis movement: Peristalsis is a series of wave-like muscle contractions that move food through the digestive tract. As we shift from having an active lifestyle to a more sedentary lifestyle, this movement weakens which causes us to have digestive issues and weaker metabolism. Practising Agnisaar and subsequently Nauli are the ways to help the body in peristalsis. 2. Building up adequate stomach acid: Due to nutrient deficient diets we had been eating, chronic stress and excessive antacids/medications that we consume, the body decreases the production of stomach acid resulting in lots of indigestion issues. Having enough calories and ACV helps a lot in building up stomach acid. 3. Enzymes for fat metabolism: Fat is metabolised in alkaline environment in the small intestine. There are different types of enzymes required to digest fats. Liver, gall bladder and pancreas secrete bile salts and lipases to help breakdown fats and derive energy from them. 4. Gut microbiome: Our gut has both good and bad bacteria, probiotics are the good ones and help the body in break down and digestion of an important component of our food which is fibre and green veggies. There are 100 trillion microorganisms in an average body which is destroyed by eating packaged food with added preservatives. We must actively include fermented food in our lifestyle to restore the gut health. 5. Oxygen intake: Having more oxygen intake gives the body a chance to produce more energy and also relax at the same time, also helping in better absorption of vitamins and minerals. 4228 deep breathing, 4228 jumps, 4228 while climbing stairs helps immensely in increasing lung capacity for more and richer oxygenation. 6. Vitamin D: Vitamin D plays a significant role in the regulation of calcium and maintenance of phosphorus levels in the blood which is crucial for bone health. It also holds crucial in fat metabolism and activating certain hormones for full benefits of absorption of nutrients you are eating. Spending time in sunlight is the best natural source of getting Vit D. If you’re diagnosed with deficiency, supplements help a lot in restoring the levels. 7. Insulin Resistance: On top of all these, Insulin Resistance is what we want to reverse and heal by improving our metabolism slowly.
