Adamski Method to activate the metabolism: how the food protocol works that teaches to eat in an intelligent way, without mixing slow foods and fast foods

With the summer, the last minute attempts are multiplying to get back in shape: flash diets, improvised detox, restrictive regimes. Often, however, these approaches promise a lot and keep little, with temporary results and a negative impact on general well -being.

The Adamski method, Designed by the naturopath and researcher Frank Laporte-Adamskioffers an alternative. The result of over thirty years of studies on the intestine – our “second brain”. – This method teaches to eat more intelligently, By correctly combining foods to encourage rapid digestion, a more active metabolism and a widespread sensation of lightness.

No counting of calories, no drastic renunciation: The key lies in avoiding the association of fast -falling foods (such as fruit, yogurt, tomatoes, honey) with those a slow fall (such as proteins, cereals, legumes). This simple attention allows you to improve intestinal transit, reduce harmful fermentations and naturally deflate the belly.

To complete the approach is the RTA technique (rebalancing technique of the abdomen)a sweet manual treatment that acts on the abdomen, By promoting the balance of the intestine, dissolving deep tensions and helping to improve circulation, quality of sleep and general vitality.

Already certified by Professor Gaetano Sabetta of the Bambino Gesù hospital in Rome, The Adamski method is now adopted in over 130 professional studies in Italy and more than 40 centers in Switzerland, By affirming themselves as an effective tool for those looking for lasting well -being, without stress or compromises. We deepened him with the creator, Dr. Adamski, naturopath and holistic operator for over thirty years, who has just written his latest book on the topic Digerisco – The method for a happy intestine and a perfect life tour, published by Vallardi and in all bookstores.

Dr. Adamski, we often talk about the intestine as “second brain”. Why?
«Because about 70 % of the functions of the immune system resides in the intestine and the medium bacterial flora exchanges between stomach and brain. Having a clean digestive tube therefore means living in health and feeling light ».

Hence his method. He explains in a nutshell, what is the goal of the Adamski method?
«Bringing the intestine back to a condition of health and harmony. When the intestine works, everything works: digestion, absorption, immune system. A clean intestine is the base to feel good».

What is the cardinal principle of the Adamski method?
“Simple: do not mix slow foods and fast foods. Each food has its own “descent speed” in the digestive tube. Fast foods (such as fruit) take about 30 minutes, the slow ones (such as cereals, meat, vegetables) about 4-5 hours. If we combine them in the same meal, fermentations are triggered that clog the intestine ».

Does it make us some examples of slow or fast food?
«Here is a list of example:

• Fast (acids): fruit in general, tomato, peppers, pumpkin, green tea, honey, yogurt …
• Lenses (not acidic): vegetables, cereals, animal and vegetable proteins, nuts, legumes …
• Neutral: oil, vinegar, spices, coffee, dark chocolate, red wine …

I know you are thinking that she is wrong, but no: tomatoes, peppers and pumpkin are fruits, not vegetables … you have to be careful ».

So, is the tomato pasta deleterious for our intestine?
«I know this always raises scandal when I affirm it, But this dish creates clogging in the intestine: it is like making a high -speed train travel (the tomato) behind a regional train (pasta). Traffic on the tracks becomes congested, the conditions for unpleasant “accidents” can be created ».

According to your method, when should fruit eat?
«Only once a day, away from meals: at least 4-5 hours after the slow meal, and not less than 1 hour and a half before the next. The afternoon is the ideal time, especially for those who live in Europe. In sunny countries, such as South America or Africa, it is also possible to consume it in the morning ».

Why this geographical clarification?
“Because the Geographical position can influence the way you digest! The rays of the sun, in fact, perform a beneficial action on the digestive tubemaking it less sensitive to the irritating effects of the so -called “acid” foods or fast fall, such as fruit. In areas of the planet where the sun is more intense and arises soon – such as Latin America or Africa, in fact -, the body is naturally more predisposed to digest this type of food since the early hours of the day. On the contrary, in more temperate areas such as Europe, it is preferable to consume fast foods in the afternoon, when temperatures help the digestive system to better manage their impact. “

What is the difference between your method and the many diets in circulation?
«Let’s start with the main assumption: My method is not a diet. I do not promise miracles, nor do I prescribe privations. It is a food education based on the principle of “exits”, that is, on how the body eliminates waste. Most diets focus on food entry, my method takes care of what comes out ».

So, in your opinion, is evacuating well is more important to eat less?
«Absolutely yes. Many do not go regularly in the bathroom, or they do it with effort, or too often. A good evacuation is fluid, natural, and indicates that the intestine is healthy. If the digestive tube is free, the rest of the body also works better».

She also talks about water and her fixed residues. Why is it so important?
«An water with fixed residue less than 40 mg/l is purer and helps the kidneys to filter toxins better. If we boil heavy water, the minerals do not evaporate: the kidneys remain and fatigue. The result? Renella (a mild form of kidney stones, or the presence of small crystals or “pebbles” in the kidneys or in the urinary tract, ed) and accumulations that clog the system ».

Who uses water ionization systems (like Kangen) should drink basic water?
«Not immediately. I recommend two months of acid water at the beginning. It serves to dissolve the deposits slowly, without overloading the kidneys. Then you can move on to basic water, when the kidneys are already trained. The dark, concentrated and odorous urine are a good signal: it means that the body is purifying ».

You are also the creator of the RTA technique (rebalancing technique of the abdomen): what does it consist of?
«This technique is one of the two pillars of my method, together with food education. It is a sweet, non -invasive manual technique, designed to stimulate intestinal transit and rebalance the functions of the digestive system in a completely natural way. It is practiced through light but deep maneuvers on the abdomen, following the path of the intestine, with the aim of reactivating peristaltic movements and freeing any visceral tensions “.

What are the benefits of this manual manipulation technique?
«This is not an aesthetic massage, but a functional manipulation: working directly on the abdomen, this technique helps to reduce swelling, improve digestion, stimulate the elimination of toxins and encourage a general feeling of lightness and well -being. The effects are not only local: many patients report also benefits on problems such as chronic fatigue, insomnia, muscle pain, headaches or postural disorders, Precisely because by improving the functioning of the intestine, the entire body-meshine system is also rebalanced ».

Anyone can practice this technique?
“No, It must always be performed by formed and certified operators. But, The RTA is suitable for everyone – Adults, elderly, pregnant women and even children ».

What results can be obtained by following the Adamski method?
“After a few weeks (3–4 days for the first effects, 8–12 months for lasting results) They improve swelling, constipation, colitis, hemorrhoids, insomnia, tiredness and circulation. In addition, The body is remodeled: detoxification starts from above (face, abdomen) and proceeds towards the legs ».

In short, no deprivation, but feeding with discipline and intelligence?
“Exact. Eat everything, but with intelligence: Choose combinations that respect the digestive speed, integrated visceral manipulations, hydrate well, strengthen the discipline. In this way The intestine will work for you, and the health will follow».
