5 Habits to Break

Gluten Protein: GLIADIN

It can irritate, inflame and eventually damage the lining of the digestive tract leading to the development of what is called “Leaky Gut Syndrome”;

5 Habits to Break

Gluten Protein: GLIADIN Leaky Gut Syndrome is a condition in which the lining of the gut becomes more permeable, allowing larger food particles, instead of their constituent amino acids, to get into the bloodstream...

5 Habits to Break

Gluten Protein: GLIADIN In a Leaky Gut scenario the antibodies form what is called “Immune Complex” which means that the immune system treats the invading “food” as toxin and attacks it vigorously – Forming the basis for all sort of allergies and sensitivity with detrimental effect on health. (autoimmune diseases)

5 Habits to Break

Milk Protein: CASEIN It is not the lactose only but the ANIMAL protein “casein” that is causing you damage! – Likewise “gliadin” in wheat, casein is seen by the immune system as an invader and the result is the development of “Immune Complex”

Holtford, P. 9-Day Liver Detox. P.31

5 Habits to Break

Coffee: CAFFEINE The Pick-me up Effect:

- Adenosine brain receptors are blocked; (Hormone responsible for controlling DOPAMINE breakdown)

- The body makes Adrenaline from Dopamine;- Adenosine blocks Dopamine breakdown;

- Excess Dopamine and more Adrenaline;(Excess Production)

5 Habits to Break

Coffee: CAFFEINE The Pick-me up Effect:

- Over alertness, stimulation, motivation... (Fight & Flight situation) = STRESS - Calls for Sugar

- Under normal functioning, the body uses Adenosine to break down Dopamine andAdrenaline to return to normal...

5 Habits to Break

Coffee: CAFFEINE The Pick-me up Effect:

... But in such a scenario the body shuts down its sensors – awful feeling takes place;

(The body doesn’t respond to Dopamine/Adrenaline)

- Need of stronger dose of Adrenaline is felt;... And hence more caffeine is consumed.

5 Habits to Break

Coffee: CAFFEINE The Pick-me up Effect:

What about people that can drink coffee,even at night, but their body seems not to suffer the common side-effects? (over alertness & lack of sleep)?

...Dopamine & Adrenaline RESISTANCE?What would be the consequences? ANXIETY, STRESS, DEPRESSION, LOW MOOD, ANGER, ETC...

BAD FATS FACT: - After damaged fats are ingested they can be taken directly to the brain where they disturb thinking processes by blocking the conversion of Essential Fatty Acids.

5 Habits to Break

BAD FATS TRANS-FATS are very difficult to digest and SLOW to detoxify – They burden the liver!They clog the liver for long periods when it could be dealing with other toxins – Can lead to a fatty liver.
