Bowel Health - Get Cleansing

How Often Do You Go?

One of the basic requirements for good health has to be our personal bowel habits and overall bowel health. The majority of illness and disease are caused by unhealthy bowels.

Constipation and/or diarrhoea, bloating and more are all too common today as we witness a huge rise in bowel related problems such as IBS, colitis, IBD and more.

A prerequisite for effective detoxification has to be how well we eliminate our wastes and toxic substances from the bowel.

What Happens If You Fail To Go

Once fat soluble toxins have been detoxified by the liver they are carried out via the bile. The only route out is then via our bowel movements. If we are constipated then the toxins can be re-circulated back to the liver via the portal vein and the process begins again. This process is known as auto-intoxication.

If we fail to eliminate efficiently whilst following any chosen detoxification programme then we may experience undesirable effects such as nausea, joint pains, excess bloating, headaches and more.

How Often Do You Go? One of the basic requirements for good health has to be our personal bowel habits and overall bowel health. The majority of illness and disease are caused by unhealthy bowels. Constipation and/or diarrhoea, bloating and more are all too common today as we witness a huge rise in bowel related problems such as IBS, colitis, IBD and more. A prerequisite for effective detoxification has to be how well we eliminate our wastes and toxic substances from the bowel. What Happens If You Fail To Go Once fat soluble toxins have been detoxified by the liver they are carried out via the bile. The only route out is then via our bowel movements. If we are constipated then the toxins can be re-circulated back to the liver via the portal vein and the process begins again. This process is known as auto-intoxication. If we fail to eliminate efficiently whilst following any chosen detoxification programme then we may experience undesirable effects such as nausea, joint pains, excess bloating, headaches and more. The Problem with the Modern Diet Our modern diets brings highly refined carbohydrates, excess sugars, lack of fibre, lack of nutrients and a lack of friendly bacteria (microbes)- none of which feed and nourish our friendly bacteria which we also need to help us detoxify toxic compounds. If we have a bowel which is inhabited by mainly unfavourable bacteria, yeasts and parasites we may find increasing symptoms such as flatulence, bloating, carbohydrate cravings, thrush, cystitis, loose bowels or constipation, inflammation and much more. Highly processed foods will continue to feed and breed these pathogens which may lead further to increased toxicity. Not only has our diet deviated from foods that feed and nourish us fully but we also know that alcohol, medical drugs and stress can impact our digestive system and the ecosystem than lives within it. The Longer It Stays, the More Toxic We Become The longer our wastes stay in the colon the more water is reabsorbed. Imagine a bowel that is not emptied for 2-3 days or worse once per week! Yuck! This waste becomes drier and becomes very hard to pass, making the bowel muscles work harder and may weaken them leading to structural problems such as diverticular disease for example. Also, the longer the waste remains the more unfavourable bacteria can multiply. When you consider we generally eat 3 main meals and possibly a couple of snacks per day, where does our waste go if we are not eliminating daily? The longer the waste is left in the colon the more we will be circulating these toxins around the body as they pass into the blood and lymphatic systems. If we look at the digestive timings of a young baby or dog for example, after a feed they will generally have a bowel movement as the gastrointestinal system is one long tube. Eating starts a wave like contraction (peristaltic movement) in the gut which signals elimination the other end. But many think nothing of missing a bowel movement each day and put it down to ‘normal’ for them. We are all designed to have daily movements if this does not happen then this is ‘constipation’. Early naturopaths recognised the importance of bowel cleansing for health, detoxification and longevity. So before you embark on a post festive detox or a detox programme any time of the year you need to ensure you have a focus on this all important area too.
