Step 3 to LIVE LIFE BETTER

WHY IS CLEANSING A CRITICAL STEP I GOOD HEALTH? Proper elimination of harmful toxins and waste allows your body to fully absorb and utilize the nutrients from foods and supplements. Even if you are already eating a fairly healthy diet, a buildup of toxins and waste in your digestive system may be blocking it from absorbing the nutrients your body and mind need. Because of today's high fat, high sugar, and low fiber diets, cleansing your digestive tract may be the most critical step you can take to improve your health. WITHOUT PROPER CLEANSING, YOUR BODY MAY EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS SUCH AS: 1. Constipation, resulting in waste accumulation in the body 2. Poor enzyme secretion, resulting in inadequate digestion and absorption 3. Abdominal bloating, gas, and cramps 4. Harmful organisms (parasites) that rob the body of essential nutrients 5. Food allergies 6. Ulceration and infections of the digestive tract 7. Compromised immune system, headaches, joint pain, and fatigue Dietary fiber plays a crucial role in the proper functioning and maintenance of the colon. One of the benefits is that fiber keeps stool soft and lowers pressure inside the colon so that the bowel contents can move through easily. The American Dietetic Association recommends 20-35 grams of fiber each day, but the average American eats less than 12 grams of fiber per day. DID YOU KNOW? "90% of all disease and discomfort is directly or indirectly related to an unclean colon." --Royal Academy of Physicians of Great Britain. A Harvard Medical School study found that men who consumed only 12 grams of fiber a day were twice as likely to develop colon problems as men whose daily fiber intake was about 30 grams. It takes 6 heads of lettuce to get 5 grams of fiber! DIGGING DEEP How many grams of fiber are you consuming each day? What can you do to increase your fiber intake?
