Keep Your Health Tips

Whether you eat a healthy diet or supplement your diet with nutritional supplements
such as vitamins and minerals, you might not be receiving the nutrients you think
you are getting. Why, because of a condition called malabsorption.

But what exactly is malabsorption? Very simply, it is the inability of the
intestine to absorb one or more nutrients from your diet. These nutrients includes
fat, carbohydrate, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Malabsorption is not a
disease in and of itself, but a symptom of an underlying defect in some part
of the digestive system.

Malabsorption can be caused by many things such as disease of stomach, pancreas,
liver, and intestine. However, the most common causes are congestion of the
gallbladder and clogging of surface used for absorption in the intestine due to
compaction of fecal waste. While these conditions can occur in at any age, they
are most commonly seen in older adults and seniors.

But what exactly are the causes of gallbladder congestion and compaction of
the intestine? They are almost always caused by lack of maintenance of the colon
and gallbladder. Yes, you can maintain your colon and gallbladder. How? By doing
a colon cleanse and gallbladder flush. These natural remedies are alternative
medicine to harsh laxative and gallbladder surgery and can spare you from colon
cancer and a host of other chronic diseases.

Part of the process of digestion, is the mixing of your food with bile, which
helps the body digest fats. Bile is stored in the gallbladder and is made from
cholesterol, bile salts and bilirubin. If the bile contains too much of any of
these substance, under certain conditions it will get harden into stones. Because
gallstones are just harden bile, they accumulate in the gallbladder.

Over time, the quantity of these stones increases and takes up most, if not all
the space in the gallbladder. When this happens, your gallbladder becomes so
congested that there is no place to store new bile made by the liver. Since your
body needs bile to help you digest fat and absorb nutrients such as vitamins and
minerals, gallbladder congestion results in malabsorption.

The final stage of digestion is the absorption of nutrients through the wall of
the intestine and colon. Unfortunately, for many people, the colon and small intestine
does not work efficiently, mainly due to poor diet and lack of maintenance.
Over the years, the walls of the colon and small intestine can become encrusted
with compacted waste. This clogs most of the surface area of the intestine
that is used for the absorption of nutrients. The result, depending of the degree
of encrustation, is your body’s inability to absorb vitamins, minerals and other
nutrients from your diet.

Because both gallbladder congestion and intestinal compaction are accumulative,
they are, therefore, both progressive with age. Consequently most adults will have
some kind problems absorbing nutrients - whether from foods or nutritional
supplements. These conditions progressively get worse with age until the ability to
absorb nutrients such as vitamins and minerals is almost completely lost. This is why
older people tend to be much thinner, since they can hardly absorb fats or any other
nutrients for that matter from their diet.

Malabsorption generally affects people in their fifties and older. This can be a
serious problem for people with osteoporosis and bone density disease. These
individuals usually take some form of calcium supplement or medication to help control
this health condition. But minerals, such as calcium, need other nutrients such as
vitamin D to be properly absorbed in the body. Therefore, these individuals are unable
to get the calcium they need, not only because they can’t absorb calcium, but because
they cannot absorb the support nutrients needed for its proper assimilation in their
bodies.

What does this means to you? Well depending on your degree of malabsorption, if
you take nutritional supplements like vitamin and minerals, you could be pouring
money down the drain, or should I say, down the toilet. Individuals who have done
gallbladder flush or colon cleansing, have reported starting to really experience
the benefits they expected from their vitamins and minerals supplements.

So next time you take a nutritional supplement, consider the possibility that you
may not be getting your money’s worth. If you feel like you are not, you have two
choices. You can either take more than the recommended dose in the hope of getting
close to what your body really need. Or you can boost you body ability to absorb
nutrients by getting yourself a colon cleanse as well as a gallbladder flush.

Holiday season is almost upon us and our suggestion is…….Cleanse Your Body Now.

You are probably asking: ‘Why should I detox my body before Thanksgiving and Christmas?’

Your body, and especially your colon is like a sweage system. Just imagine your town’s garbage collection staff went on strike over the Holiday season? Loads and loads of trash would be piled along the streets. Infestation, rats, prestilence etc. would be the result.

This is exactly what happened to your colon this year. Now, don’t get me wrong, you will not have rats in your system, however, you may invite the wrong ‘inhabitants’ and you end up with worms, or worse.

When you were younger, you had none or a lot less problems with your bowel movements. Your stool was regular and you did not have to take ’stuff’ in form of OTC or presribed medication to go to the bathroom.

After years of not being cleansed, the colon muscle tends to slow down and get lazy. That can lead to irregular and infrequent bowel movements, such as once every two or three days - to even once a week or less.

Is that you?

Did you know that for every meal you eat today, you should have a bowel movement the same number of times tomorrow? For example, if you eat two large meal today, you should have two large bowel movements tomorrow.

Do you have the correct number of bowel movements?

If not, what can you do to fix the problem? No, laxatives are not the answer in the long run. What you need is a complete intestinal cleanse.

Read up on our great free 5-day diet that you can start today, so that you can enjoy all your holiday meals without problems and start the new year with a healthier and cleaner body. Wouldn’t that be nice?
