Detox with Metabolic Balance - Health Begins in the Intestine

Detox with Metabolic Balance
Health begins in the intestine!


Any toxin or harmful substance that cannot be rendered harmless in the bowel, e.g. because the intestinal flora is damaged, reaches the liver via the portal vein. Thus, the liver must take over and assume this detoxification. So, in order not to overload the liver, we should ensure a healthy bowel. If this is not the case and if the intestinal wall is damaged, it urgently needs to recover - by an intestinal cleansing.

If we are planning an excursion or a business trip by car, we find out in advance where there might be traffic jams and what detour options are available so that we can reach our destination as quickly as possible. But there is no alternative for the food we ingest. The path is always the same: from the mouth via the esophagus to the stomach, into the intestines and then into the blood. To avoid "traffic jams", there is only one real alternative in the metabolic process: Taking care of the main artery, the intestine, relieving it and nourishing it in a healthy way.

How to best prepare the intestine
In order to build up the intestinal flora in a targeted manner, it is not sufficient to simply consume foods with probiotic or prebiotic ingredients or additives. A basic prerequisite for both a healthy bowel and a healthy intestinal flora is a thorough and gentle bowel cleansing in order to prepare an optimal living environment for the bacteria.

Bacteria only settle permanently in the bowel when they feel comfortable and when the environment provides what they need. Short-term cleansing can be achieved by taking Epsom salts, high-dose magnesium sulfate, or by clysterizing by means of an enema. However, you should not leave it at that. If you want to support, cleanse and regenerate your bowel in the long term, you should regularly consume natural foods, preferably ground flaxseed and ground psyllium. These two "bowel helpers" do not only cleanse, they also stimulate intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation.

How to efficiently cleanse the intestine
Eliminating toxins from the body is a long process. Detoxification takes place mainly with fasting cures. However, you can also stimulate the entire metabolism by a thorough change in diet with regular modest exercise; this helps to even boost the detoxification intensity of your organism.

Intestinal cleansing reduces pathogenic bacteria and fungi and causes health-promoting intestinal bacteria to multiply more easily. Improving the intestinal flora also strengthens the intestinal mucosa. Optimally working digestive organs and the right amount of digestive juices are an essential prerequisite for favorable bowel bacteria to settle in the intestine; thus, a healthy intestinal flora can be established.
