well balanced diet

We are what we eat.

A healthy, balanced diet consisting of fiber-rich vegetables, protein, omega-3 rich fats, whole grains, fruit, and approximately 2.5 liters of water per day is naturally important to our well-being.

But our dietary intake is half the story. The absorption of essential minerals, vitamins and all the goodness of our nutrition through our digestive system has to be accompanied by the ability of our body to eliminate the by-products of our diet.

High fiber, low carb, low calorie, Atkins, high protein, low fat, detox, weight loss, vegetarian, 5 a day, slimming, low cholesterol diets would by themselves be incomplete for maintenance of good health without the efficient elimination of toxins and waste through a healthy colonic tract.

Modern diets and our lifestyle can play a major role in altering the natural process of elimination and impacting our health.

Junk food, excess sugar and salt, consumption of red meat and foods low in fiber and omega 3 can contribute to a high vulnerability to poor health.

Inadequate exercise (none for some of us), irregular eating times, and stress (a serious silent killer) increase our exposure to disease, particularly digestive disease.

Add in a dysfunctional waste disposal system that can negatively affect the absorption of nutrients from our diets and cause the retention of harmful waste and toxins within our bodies and we have a recipe for poor health.

Elimination of dietary waste.

Putrefaction of food in our intestines can increase the risk of disease. It needs to be removed. The longer this decomposing mass remains in our small intestine and colon, the greater the risk of developing diseases that can be life-threatening.

Worryingly, the following non-exhaustive list of conditions are suspected to be associated with malfunction of the colon or large intestine. Includes colon cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, ulceration of the lining of the digestive tract, appendicitis, blood poisoning (toxins are reabsorbed into the bloodstream as they cannot be eliminated through the colon), constipation, diarrhea, halitosis, flatulence , body odors, parasite infestation, indigestion, headaches, back pain, unhealthy skin, tiredness, irritability, bloated feeling, expanded waistline, and obesity.

It is reported that millions of people in the western world suffer from diseases of the digestive tract.

The importance of the colon.

Also known as the large intestine or large intestine, the colon is made up of the cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum. It plays an essential role in the digestive system.
The colon ensures the removal of waste and toxins from the body, the absorption of important nutrients from our diet, and the maintenance of our electrolyte balance.

A dysfunctional colon unable to eliminate stagnant, impacted and decaying matter has a very high probability of being the causative factor for the diseases mentioned above.

It has been said that an unhealthy colon starts the cycle of death.

Health-conscious individuals would certainly benefit greatly from ensuring their colon is healthy and functional.

Weight loss and the colon.

When you consider that a colon that cannot evacuate properly can retain putrid contents that can weigh 5 to 8 times its normal approximate 2 kg and stretch its diameter to 8 to 10 times its normal 5 cm, the connection between obesity and a colon obstructed becomes apparent.

Cleaning out unwanted, plugged, and decaying fecal mass restores the natural functions of the large intestine and may help reduce weight and waist size.

Additionally, as the process of nutrient absorption begins again through a clean, permeable, healthy colon, increased energy levels derived more efficiently from our well-balanced diet can translate to weight loss.

While paying attention to our diet and good colon function may be enough to cause weight loss, it must also be said that your enjoyment of life as a healthy person will be enhanced if you take a proactive approach to weight management through exercise whenever possible. .
