FIBER, DIGESTIVE AIDS AND PROBIOTICS |

The digestive system makes
available to the body the
nutrients necessary for life.
If it is not functioning
properly the effects will be
felt in nearly every other
body system. The digestive
system consists of a series of
hollow tubes beginning with
the mouth and ending with the
anus. Major components include
the esophagus, stomach, small
intestine, and large intestine
or colon. During digestion,
digestive enzymes, acid,
hormones, and beneficial
bacteria work to break down
food and release nutrients for
absorption in the small
intestine. The colon or large
intestine completes the
process by removing excess
water and completing
absorption of vital
nutrients.
Diet will affect the
effectiveness and functioning
of the digestive system.
Incorporate plenty of water
and food high in dietary fiber
to maximize colon efficiency
and prevent constipation.
Proper diet may also lessen
symptoms of digestive problems
like irritable bowel syndrome
or diverticulitis.
Constipation is a common
problem, particularly given
wide-spread poor eating
habits. Natural remedies
include herbal laxatives like
senna, cape aloe, or cascara
sagrada. Fiber products like
psyllium husk can also help
restore regularity. The bowel
contains both beneficial and
harmful bacteria which may get
out of balance resulting in
constipation or diarrhea.
Probiotics are natural
supplements which help restore
the levels of good bacteria
which may be killed off by
antibiotic use. Lactobacillus
acidophilus is the most
well-known probiotic and is
readily available in
over-the-counter supplements.
Many individuals find a
natural colon cleanser to be a
boost to their sense of well
being. Most colon cleansers
are a combination of dietary
fiber and natural laxative
products. Homeopathic doctors
recommend a colon cleansing
once or twice each year. Colon
cleansing works in both the
small intestine and the colon
or large intestine helping
restore regularity. |
