Are your health conditions the result of a toxic colon?

Could Your Colon Be the Cause? It is very possible that your own digestive system is causing unnecessary problems and depriving you of optimal health.

The colon is designed to eliminate toxins and waste. Yet, without proper elimination, the body can actually poison itself. Poor diet, fast foods, stress, certain medications, and even overuse of laxatives affects elimination.

When the bowel is not properly taken care of, its responses become sluggish and under-active. The ability for the colon to function properly and heal itself cannot happen without proper elimination.

When the bowel is under-active, toxic waste is more likely to be absorbed through the bowel wall and into the bloodstream. The blood then circulates these toxins to every part of the body and deposits them in tissues.

To eliminate toxins from the bowel, we need to have healthy bowel movements daily.  Sluggish digestion is a contributor to the  problem of toxicity build-up because bile and the toxins it  carries for elimination, have more time to be absorbed through the bowel wall.

Issues In Your Tissues

Nothing has a greater impact on health than internal toxicity. As toxins accumulate in the tissues, alterations in cellular function take place.

In addition, digestion may become compromised with the partially digested material adding to the problem because the body cannot manufacture healthy tissue out of half-digested nutrients.

When toxins are created in the body faster than they can be eliminated or when one or more of the eliminate systems are under-active, health conditions arise.

When toxins are not eliminated, they circulate in the blood then get stored in body tissues and lodge in joints, affecting all areas of the body, including the brain. These toxins can contribute to a wide variety of health complaints. If the body is given the chance to release toxic debris, it can make a remarkable restoration to full health.

To eliminate toxins from the bowels effectively, we need to have healthy bowel movements daily.

Sources of common toxins to which we are exposed:

• toxins we consume: natural toxins in foods, chemicals and additives in foods, and drugs
• toxins produced in the body: bacteria and yeast, which reside in the gut, produce a number of compounds, some of which are poisonous. If there is insufficient fiber in the diet, or if bowel movements are not regular, there is ample opportunity for these toxins to be absorbed across the gut wall and into the bloodstream.
• heavy metals: the inorganic buildup of toxic metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, and aluminum can accumulate over a long period of time resulting in a slow buildup leading to adverse symptoms.

It is not unusual for some people to feel worse before they feel better.

Healing Crisis: While the net result of cleansing will be elimination of toxins from the body, improved health and more energy, it’s quite common to feel worse before feeling better. If the toxins are released faster than the body can eliminate them, you may experience a fever, fatigue, diarrhea, cramps, headache, increased thirst, etc. These symptoms are due to a “die-off” reaction known as a Healing Crisis.

The good news is that your body is exchanging old tissue for new vibrant tissue.

Fiber to the Rescue

Consuming fiber increases the immune system in your gut, feeds the good probiotic bacteria there, keeps the digestive lining healthy and absorbs and pulls out  excess hormones, cholesterol, fat and toxins from the body.

Benefits of Fiber:

• Decrease stool transit time
• Expedite the removal of potentially dangerous toxins and carcinogens from the bowel by acting as a carrier and by boosting elimination.
• Promotes feelings of fullness because fiber-rich foods absorb water and swell and also move slowly though the digestive tract, helping you feel full faster and for a longer period of time.
• Helps prevent constipation and bacterial infection of the intestinal system by keeping the intestine moist, allowing waste to pass easily through.
• When nutritious high-fiber diets are consumed, food cravings diminish.
• Keep blood sugar levels more stable.
• Bind with bile salts which can help decrease the risk of gallbladder disease and certain types of cancer.
• Create presence of healthier intestinal bacteria.
