Yin Yang Symbol and 5 ElementsDid you know that, in order to achieve harmonious balance throughout the body, you need to feed the 5 systems?  Do you know what the 5 systems are?  These are the main organ systems that keep your body functioning.  When properly nourished, these systems allow you to fight off disease, digest food properly, enjoy balanced hormonal responses, and develop  strength and stamina with healthy breathing and heart function.

The DIGESTIVE system turns food into nutrients for fuel.  The RESPIRATORY system maintains the flow of oxygen to the bloodstream.  The CIRCULATORY system pumps blood through the veins and arteries.  The ENDOCRINE system controls production of hormones, and the IMMUNE SYSTEM is quite possibly the most important as it fights off foreign invaders.  Did you know that each system corresponds with a different universal element, as well?

In today’s blog, you’ll see a thorough explanation of how each system contributes to your health and wellness.  Also, you’ll see how to feed all 5 systems the right nutrients.

Here is a thorough explanation of the role that each system plays in your overall health and well-being.  Also, each explanation includes the individual formula for that system as well as the universal element associated with it.

ALPHA 20C -  Immune/Defense System (Wood element)

Alpha 20C for the Immune SystmeThis food nourishes the immune system through the thymus, spleen, bone marrow and adrenals. The human immune system is a highly elaborate, intelligent system designed to protect the body from invasion by anything from the flu to cancer. T and B lymphocytes and white blood cells are the commonly known “soldiers” in the “army”. When functioning healthily it is the greatest internal doctor we could wish for, surpassing the intelligence of any worldly physician. Some of the benefits of a healthy immune function are protection against tumors, reduction of swollen lymph nodes, more rapid healing of infections, protection against infections, reduced drainage from ears and eyes, and increased protection against environmental toxins.


PRIME AGAIN -  Endocrine/Glandular/Hormonal System (Fire element)

Prime Again for the Endocrine SystemThis food nourishes the entire glandular system, in particular the adrenals and sex glands. The hormones secreted by these glands have a profound influence on longevity, youthfulness and reproductive ability. Ninety-five percent of all the energy in the body is supplied by the adrenals and thyroid. Weakness in the glandular system can be responsible for moodiness, depression, anxiety and inability to handle stress. Some of the benefits of a healthy endocrine system are: enhanced sexual response, stronger muscles, relief of PMS emotional stability, resistance to allergens, fertility, and overall energy increase.


ASSIMILAID -  Digestive/Assimilation System (Earth element)

Assimilaid for the Digestive SystemThe ability to absorb nutrients is vital to good health. It is estimated that over 50% of Americans are digesting less than 50% of their food, especially in the breakdown of protein into free amino acids, so essential to cell rebuilding. Assimilaid influences the whole digestive system including the gallbladder and pancreas. Malnutrition is the greatest cause of disease and death in our world today, as much from malabsorption as from starvation. A healthy digestive system has the correct pH balance that is a hostile environment to candida and parasites. Improved assimilation of food requires the body to need less volume of food. Other benefits of a healthy digestive system include relief from pain, nausea, heartburn, gas, improved appetite, better sleep, ability to tolerate a wide variety of foods, and stronger liver function.


Conco for the Respiratory SystemCONCO -  Respiratory System (Metal element)

The respiratory system includes the lungs, bronchi, throat, larynx, pharynx, tonsils, nasal cavity and sinuses and is the first line of defense against invading bacteria. The severity and duration of a flu, for example, has more to do with the strength of the immune response than the strength of the virus. Benefits of a healthy respiratory system include protection against colds and flu, headache, relief of congestion, protection against allergens, and reduction of pain and fever.


Lifestream for the Circulatory SystemLIFESTREAM -  Circulatory System (Water element)

This food nourishes all the circulatory processes in the body, including blood and lymph. Poor circulation causes de-oxygenation in the body which is the precursor to numerous health problems. All the organs are nourished by a healthy flow of blood and lymph. Benefits of a healthy circulation include blood pressure regulation, strong heart tone, improved eyesight, stronger capillaries reducing the occurrence of varicose veins, lower cholesterol and a stronger nervous system.Quinary for the 5 Systems of the Body
