Intestinal health

How to properly take care of the colon?

Many people today suffer from bloating and discomfort in the lower abdomen. The reasons can be many. This may be, for example irritable bowel syndrome, or leaky gut. This may be intolerance to various types of foods or overgrowth of bad bacteria in the intestines.

Note! Hippocrates said that all disease begins in the gut is.

Many people feel such as drowsiness, or is frequent daily headaches and probably does not associate with the fact that this may be a problem is seated in the intestines. Therefore, we eliminate such different intolerances to food.

How to do it?

The best method is to remove such main food groups, such as products containing gluten, or dairy products (or soybean). Eliminate these groups, eg for 3 weeks and then one product after another introduced (eg enter the dairy and see how your body reacts to it). After 5 days, enter the next product and then you'll know that if for example, you will feel lethargic, no energy (and he was not the last 3 weeks), your body reacts somehow just for the food.

So it makes sense to eliminate precisely these food groups.

How to rebuild your colon?

The first step you should do is eliminate from your diet foods that are not conducive to restoring the bacterial flora, and promote the overgrowth of the bad bacteria.

Note! This will certainly all kinds of sugars and white flour all products that break down in the body into simple sugars.

So replace them with whole grains and most limit their intake to a minimum.

Include these foods in your diet that are conducive to the reconstruction of the bacterial flora, eg kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut. You can also take probiotics, and I recommend you fiber, which rebuilds the bacterial flora in the gut.

Of course these are such basic advice and the first step that needs to be done towards the good way, and at the end you have a recipe for cleansing salad based on apples and chicory.
