Other reasons for indigestion
Not enough digestive enzymes and other micronutrients.
Lack of digestive enzymes and other micronutrients (vitamins,
minerals, etc) is probably another (along with improper food
combinations) major cause of indigestion. Enzymes are required to
start the chemical reactions that break food into smaller and smaller
'pieces'. Enzymes also require vitamins, minerals and other
micronutrients to function properly.
Some of these can be manufactured in your body, but some has to
come from your diet.
Lack of these enzymes and other micronutrients slows down or
halts the digestion process. This gives harmful bacteria time to
putrefy the food.
These enzymes and micronutrients are very perishable and are
easily destroyed by processing. Cooking above 118 Fahrenheit
destroys practically all the enzymes in food.
Much of our soil is so depleted that farm crops depend entirely on
the chemical fertilizers they are fed to grow. That means that the
food we eat is totally devoid of virtually all trace minerals and
micronutrients that we require for proper digestion and survival.
I'm sure that you know that digestion begins in your mouth.
Digestive enzymes are secreted while the food is in your mouth. To
get enough digestive enzymes to the food you should chew it
properly (anywhere between 30 to 40 times).
If you don't chew your food properly it means that it leaves your
mouth without sufficient amount of digestive enzymes. This slows
