Cleansing

Cleansing Research has shown that most degenerative diseases begin in the colon and digestive tract. Cleansing your body of harmful toxins, parasites, and debris are essential in allowing your body to fully absorb and utilize the nutrients from foods and natural supplements. The small intestine is the portal for absorption of virtually all nutrients into blood. Most people have never properly cleansed their body.

According to the American Digestive Health Foundation, at least 40 million Americans suffer from chronic digestive diseases that impact their lifestyle. Women are more likely than men to suffer from certain gastrointestinal illnesses and are equally affected by colon cancer, the most deadly digestive disease.

Your digestive system is a complex arrangement of organs, intestines, acids, bacteria, and enzymes - all designed to get the most from the food we eat and nourish other vital organs and body systems. Our food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before they can be absorbed into the blood and carried to cells throughout the body. A clogged or poorly functioning digestive system becomes a potential source of toxins to the liver, gallbladder, pancreas and other vital organs.

Without proper cleansing, our bodies may experience problems such as: • Constipation (acute or chronic), which results in waste accumulation in the body• Poor enzyme secretion, which results in suboptimal digestion and absorption• Digestive discomforts such as abdominal bloating, gas, cramps• Harmful organisms (parasites) that rob the body of essential nutrients • Food allergies due to reduced enzyme secretion and poorly functioning system• Ulceration of the digestive tract due to stress and other harmful substances• Bowel irritation due to loss of the integrity of the mucosal barrierAdditional symptoms from poor digestive health include: headaches, joint pain, fatigue, skin eruptions, bad breath, recurrent infections, and immune deficiency.

Detoxifying your Body

The purpose of detoxification is to neutralize and eliminate any compound in the body that can be toxic. Detoxification is a natural process occurring on a continual basis in the body, but because of the modern diets, the enormous number of chemicals we ingest daily, and the increase in chronic degenerative diseases, many studies are finding that regular detoxification is necessary.

A detoxification diet strengthens the organs involved in detoxification and releases stored toxins, expelling them through the organs of elimination; the skin, intestines, liver, lungs, kidneys and lymphatic system. Research is showing that healthy diets along with detoxification can; • Help prevent disease, especially when someone has prolonged exposure to chemicals or hormones (such as oral contraceptives) • Improve symptoms of low energy, joint pain, headache, pain, premenstrual syndrome, unhealthy skin, anxiety and irritability, frequent colds, heartburn, constipation, and gas. • Treat disease such as autoimmune disease, multiple chemical sensitivity, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, digestive disorders, heart disease, arthritis, attention deficit, and other chronic degenerative disease. When cleansing some people may initially experience headaches, slight nausea, poor concentration, weight loss, skin rashes or chilliness. Gradually, people will notice an improvement, usually by the third or fourth day. Vitamin C helps to reduce these temporary side effects.Lack of energy is among the most common complaints today. While fatigue can be caused by many different factors, it can also be a key symptom of inner toxicity. Even if you're eating a fairly healthy diet, a toxic build-up may prevent your body from converting the essential nutrients you consume into the energy you require.

Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in women. About 67,000 women are diagnosed with colorectal cancer each year and more than 40 percent of those will die from the disease. Colorectal cancer develops from polyps, grape-like growths on the inner lining of the colon and rectum, which usually form after age 50 and grow slowly. All women age 50 and older are at risk for developing colorectal cancer.Younger women may also be a risk if there is a strong family history of colorectal cancer or polyps or a personal history of polyps or inflammatory bowel disease. Lifestyle choices, such as a high fat, low fiber diet, smoking, excessive drinking, lack of exercise and obesity can also increase a woman's risk.
