Do you suffer from fatigue, allergies, acne, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, hair loss, headaches, bad breath, weight problems, hormonal imbalance or other annoyances? If these symptoms sound all too familiar, chances are, you may be suffering from digestive problems. Most if not all of us suffer from some form of digestive disease. This is hardly surprising at all considering that our foods are laced with preservatives, artificial ingredients, hormones, and other chemical additives. Daily we consume refined, processed foods low in fibre and high in animal fats. Add to that a lack of exercise, and an ever increasing level of stress, and you’ve got a major gastrointestinal health crisis.
From the mouth to the very last part of the bowels, health professionals have established a general consensus that most, if not all, major diseases start in the gastrointestinal tract (GI)!
Your GI, Your Health
The human gastrointestinal tract, which starts at the mouth and ends at the anus, is approximately 25-35 feet long and has many functions that contribute to our overall well being.
After food is ingested, a rhythmic muscle contraction called peristalsis pushes the food through the esophagus to the stomach and through the intestines.
Inside, food is acidified, liquefied, neutralized, and broken down into usable particles. The nutrients are then absorbed through the intestinal lining into the bloodstream and assimilated into the cells where they can be used for energy, growth and repair.
The waste products are then eliminated through the large intestine, lymphatic system, kidneys and skin.
When any part of the GI does not work efficiently, individual cells throughout the body gradually lose their ability to function properly.
Digestion
During the process of digestion, almost 50% of all enzymes (naturally found in natural foods) consumed by the body are used to digest our food! Worst still, when live enzymes are lacking in the diet, the average person only digests about 30% to 70% of all that is eaten.
Enzymes are catalysts, they either put things together or tear things apart. Every metabolic function in the body require enzymes. Without enzymes there is virtually no life. Every minute our body uses enzymes to run vital organs like the heart, liver, kidneys, pancreas, as well as billions of other cells that sustain life.
These enzymes need to be replaced as the body uses them up. In short, enzymes run the body.
Unhealthy eating habits and processed foods put tremendous strain on the body. Most “dead” food are void of enzymes. In addition, any “living” food that is cooked beyond 43°C loses most, if not all, of its live enzymes.
When sufficient enzymes are not available to aid the digestive process, the body tends to borrow them from other organs. This phenomenon explains the high incidences of indigestion and the reason why you feel sleepy after heavy meal. Sound familiar? The body is stealing enzymes from other bodily functions to aid digestion.
Dr. Edward Howell, a leading authority on enzyme research, uses the illustration that we are given a “bank account” of enzymes at the beginning of our lives. The more we withdraw from this “bank account” to use for digestion, the less is left behind for the thousands of other tasks which enzymes have to perform in our bodies.
When your body begins to cut back on various bodily functions, many other symptoms occur such as hair becoming dry, nails getting weak or cracked, skin aging, fatigue and other signs of premature aging. These collectively make you look older than you might be!
The more critical ones are often unseen, like the liver not being able to effectively excrete wastes and toxins from the body.
Why are enzymes so important? What are they really? To give you a clue, look at a banana or a mango. A green one. When it turns yellow and ripens, that’s its enzymes working. Amazing, isn’t it?
Assimilation
You are what you eat. Almost.
The truth is, you are what you digest and assimilate! Period.
Indigestion not only starves the body from much needed nutrients and minerals, it causes a whole lot more other problems. You read earlier that the average person only digests about 30-70% of what they eat without the consumption of live enzymes.
Well, what happens to all the undigested food?
Undigested particles cause a great strain to the body. These rotting foods do not just stay in the intestine.
Toxins they produce can make way into the bloodstream and travel to practically every part of the body.
Toxins or poisons can be lodged in any body part, causing an inflammation in that area. Modern medicine may term it as the “Leaky Gut Syndrome”, but toxins and poisons may just be the starting mechanisms for arthritis, gastritis, colitis, allergies, migraines and etc.
Undigested food has been implicated as the main cause of over 80% of all allergies. When talking about poisons, what may come to mind is arsenic or cyanide.
But the slowest and often undetectable poisons could very well be the undigested foods that we have in the body! This internally produced poison often kills the subject slowly by blocking the blood flow, hindering metabolic functions, while decreasing oxygen flow to tissues, besides interfering with vital organs of the body.
Constipation
Constipation, or infrequent bowel movement, can be accurately defined as “an extended transition time of toxic waste”. The longer you take to move your bowels after a meal, the longer the faeces or toxic wastes sit in your digesting tract, putrefying and fermenting. Resulting accumulation of toxins over the years causes alterations in cellular function, which result in organ malfunction.
Modern man’s diet consists of over-processed and lifeless foods which produce little enzyme activity and contain barely any fibrous compounds. We are eating devitalized foods that are not fresh, with little or no nutrients at all.
Look at the state of staple diets around the world. All natural fibre in grains are removed during the-refining stages.
Diets that are poor in fibre, not only slow down the digestion and cause waste materials to stay in the body longer, but it also set up a perfect environment for toxins to form.
Our digestive system is not designed to handle these processed, unnatural foods and substances. For instance, white flour products, which contain very little or no fibre, form a glue-like paste that sticks in layers and layers along the insides of the intestines.
According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, “An under active colon is common to most people these days and over 90% of Americans are walking around with clogged colons.”
Many of us could be walking with 10 to 25 pounds of accumulated and putrefied waste in our colon!
One of the most famous and highly respected surgeons in American history, Dr. Harvey Kellogg, said: “Of the 22,000 operations I have personally performed, I have never found a single normal colon.”
In this fast paced world of ours, we are eating lots of chemicals like colouring agents, artificial flavours and preservatives that can make the food taste good and appear more attractive.
Even non-processed foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and meats are often laden with chemical residues from pesticides, herbicides, hormones and other products used to make them grow. We are essentially well fed but malnourished.
The bottom line is that when we put foods that are void of adequate nutrition and void of any enzymes into our body, we will eventually run the body down.
Manufacturers, dieticians and nutritionists go all out in labelling and categorizing foods according to content, telling you how many milligrams of this and that, calorie contents and all other trendy notions that are appealing.
What they fail to tell you is, it doesn’t matter what you eat; it only matters what you digest. Food that is not digested, no matter how nutritious it may be, will just go right through you, or worse, stay in you!
The destruction of live enzymes through cooking or processing, or the inherrent lack of it, does not permit our food to be thoroughly digested. This weakens your immune system and sparks the development of premature aging and chronic/degenerative diseases.
These enzymes need to be replaced as the body uses them up. Your body resupplies its enzyme pool by manufacturing them or by receiving them from an external source. They can come from raw foods – like vegetables and fruits or through supplementation to be converted for bodily needs.
Remember, you are not what you eat. You are what you DIGEST!
Are you getting enough dietary fibre? An unhealthy, clogged colon is not just prime breeding ground for harmful bacteria, but is also among the top causes of most degenerative disease. Dietary fibre prevents constipation and maintains a healthy digestive system.
NewLife™ Herbal Klenz Powder effectively guards your GI from toxicity by easing bowel movement, eliminating encrustations, and removing heavy-metal toxins. It combines the best of both ancient and modern methods of natural internal cleansing.
NewLife™ Wholemeal High Fibre Bread Mix is a special blend by Datin Dr. Lynn Tan and offers you easy-to-make, homemade bread that is healthy, delicious, and an excellent source of dietary fibre. Made from freshly ground wholemeal flour, bran and active yeast – all natural, all organic.
Friendly bacteria: The human digestive system relies on colonies of friendly bacteria to function properly. These friendly bacteria or probiotics form a protective barrier to combat bad bacteria and maintain a healthy intestinal tract.
Immuflora can prevent the proliferation of harmful bacteria and the diseases caused by a toxic colon, much like having your garden filled with good plants rather than weeds! Immuflora provides intestinal flora essential for intestinal health, promotes good digestion and the manufacturing of vital nutrients for the entire body.
Vitamin C: We may think of vitamin C as only a remedy for boosting our immune system or far worse a “use when you are sick” supplement. However, its benefits go far beyond fighting the common cold. The fact is: scientists have discovered that this powerful nutrient is important in supporting the health of the colon and essential to the growth and repair of collagen molecules along the intestinal lining.
NewLife™ Vitamin C Complex: Scientific studies have found that vitamin C works best when supplemented together with bioflavonoids. NewLife™ Vitamin C Complex not only contains bioflavonoids, but is also a sustained release formula – meaning your body is getting more “bang for the buck”.
Honey – nature’s perfect food. The health benefits of honey are numerous. With its antibacterial, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antifungal properties, it promotes healthy gastro-intestines, and with lives enzymes and nutrients, it aids and improves digestion.
NewLife™ Pure Raw Honey – Sourced from New Zealand, known for its nuclear-free, clean environment, NewLife™ Pure Raw Honey contains no chemicals, and no heat is used in the extracting process to ensure all nutrients remain intact.
Apple Cider Vinegar: We have all heard this old adage: “An apple a day, keeps the doctor away”. Yes, it is true enough. Apple cider vinegar, a time-tested folk medicine, is made up entirely of natural organic substances and contains powerful enzymes, potassium and other minerals that are vital for a healthy body.
There are numerous benefits of consuming apple cider vinegar. It is said to treat constipation, acid reflux, arthritis, gout and other conditions. It also works well to stimulate healthy digestion at any other time of the day.
Aged in wood, organic, natural, untreated and undistilled, NewLife™ Apple Cider Vinegar contains no artificial colouring, flavouring or preservatives. Brewed naturally from 100% fresh, wholesome, sun-drenched, organically grown Nelson Apples from the South Island of New Zealand.

At some period in our lives, most of us have wished for better health for ourselves and for those we know and love. Some way to regain the vitality we have lost.
We want a safe and effective method to combat illness. A way to repair our bodies instead of just treating the symptoms with drugs.
We are sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Wishing to start all over again. Go back to the way we once were physically, at an age before "modern living" lifestyles and bad habits took their toll. Can it happen?
Maybe having someone to show us the how to honestly fight and win the battle against diseases like cancer and heart attack. To defuse the ticking time bombs of high blood pressure, failing kidneys and tired livers. Is there a fighting chance?
At NewLife, we have seen these wishes come trueover and over again, it would be irresponsible and unkind not to help, not to share what we know.
Backed by real life testimonies from people who have benefited, we hope you will find, together with us, the way to make your health wishes come true.
Wishing you the pink of health, contact us for free health consultation.
