This is a "BIGGIE PEOPLE" . . . YOU NEED TO READ THIS INFORMATION!!!!!!!!!
So what is the "Migrating Motor Complex"???
Well . . . simply put . . . "migrating motor complex" is the "GUT'S" . . . "HOUSEKEEPER"!
You see . . . the "migrating motor complex" (MMC) . . . serves the role of "housekeeper" of the "small intestine" . . . and this is done by propelling undigested food residue and "sloughed enterocytes" . . . out of the digestive tract.
It's the "electrical activity" of the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract . . . which is activated during "fasting" . . . meaning in between meals and when you sleep.
The MMC begins its activity about 90 minutes "after" you FINISH eating your meal . . . and this cycle takes about 84-112 minutes to "accomplish its mission" . . . before you eat your next meal . . .
THAT'S "IF" . . . IT'S WORKING CORRECTLY!!!
AND . . . "IF" . . . YOU'RE "COMPLYING" WITH "PATTERN EATING"!!!!
Now . . . "migrating motor complex" . . . "chemically cleanses" the "empty" stomach in preparation for the next meal.
And this is just another reason, we need to NOT EAT CONSTANTLY during the day PEOPLE!!!!
If there's "ALWAYS" food presented to the stomach . . . the body's MMC can NOT work properly.
So how can we tell if our "migrating motor complex" is dysfunctional???
Well . . . we would see sign like . . .
"Constipation" . . . which is the most common symptom . . . and "bloating".
So how else can we tell if this system . . . "IS" . . . working correctly???
Well . . . if you hear a "growling" sound in your tummy "between meals" . . . it means your MMC is hard at work!
Now . . . the body's "migrating motor complex" not only "sweeps" food waste and bacteria "INTO" the large intestine . . . it also "sweeps" the "small" intestine "clean" of bacteria.
And with this system fully operational . . . we don't have SIBO, leaky gut, IBS, Crohn's, constipation or bloating . . . to mention just a few.
So we can clearly see . . . just how "important" it is to have our MMC finely tuned and working like a champ.
And guess what element can help keep this system running like clock work???
Well . . . that would be "drinking water" . . .
You see . . . drinking water between meals "DOES NOT" stop the "migrating motor complex" system . . . but rather . . . it can "help" keep the process running smoothly and prevent disruption.
And as we know . . . "DEHYDRATION" . . . can also "SLOW" down this process of eliminating waste and bacteria from the body . . . leading to symptoms like "constipation" and "bloating".
So listen to your "TUMMY" people . . . and "DRINK MORE WATER".
Now . . . remember this information about the "migrating motor complex" . . . because after the holidays in 2024 . . . we'll be talking about that a lot more.
