The Full Process of Digestion

Good digestion results in higher nutritional absorbency which means you don't need to eat as much to get the same nutrients that your body needs. If you are eating healthy and with a proper combination of foods at each meal, you will have little to no digestive problems. Basic signs like bad body odor, bad breath and bad gas are small indications of a bad diet over a long period of time. These signs will eventually be eliminated when a diet is changed allowing for easy digestion. When a person eats a healthy combination of foods, these signs, along with many other bad signs, are eliminated the result is good digestion and great overall health. After studying the digestive system I have put together what I consider to be the complete process of digestion. 1. Anticipation 2. Chewing 3. Immersion 4. Enzymes 5. Mixing 6. Electrolytes 7. Expulsion 1) You need to get your body ready to eat. There are several ways to do this. One is to drink enough water before your meal so it is w...

The Fourth Dimension

Recently my coworker, Vivek, showed me an interesting website. It is entirely a math website but it visually explains difficult math concepts. What I wanted to show here was the fourth dimension. There are ten chapters showing at this link. The first four are the ones that focus on the fourth dimension. The website is called Dimensions 1) 3D mapping to a 2D plain 2) 2D lizards understanding 3D space 3) Understanding the 4D objects in 3D space 4) 4D mapping to 3D space Each chapter is 14 minutes long. If you feel like you grasp the fourth dimension after watching these videos please try to help me understand it. I think I started to get the concepts but actually trying to visualize it is very difficult. If your studying complex numbers and want to understand them better the next two chapters may help: 5-6) Complex numbers 7-8) Fibration of 2D space into 3D space 9) Mathematical proof of a sphere 10) Intro to other math principles

The Light of the Body

The eye opens up the mind to the world around us. But not everyone can see as clearly as others. The most common eye problem in America these days, I believe, is nearsightedness - Myopia. My eyes started going bad in preschool. I think that's when I first needed glasses. A few years later I started asking about methods to reverse my eyes so I wouldn't need glasses. I asked the eye doctors what methods were out there and they told me about the only method that they had heard of - solid black glasses with one pinhole in each lens. I forget what it was supposed to do but she said that it wasn't known to have a high success rate. I remember one time I thought all I needed to do was take off my glasses and focus really hard on something outside of my focus range. I told my parents that I could see the digital clock across my bedroom and I would tell them what time it was. I thought my eyes were improving, so at church I would take off my glasses and try to see the hymn numbers p...
