The "Ins" and "Outs" of Digestive Wellness

Hello everyone,

As you know, the focus of my weekly blogs are always on those who have been struggling with the yo-yo weight cycle and my goal is to provide these people with the support and tools they need to attain their ideal weight and MAINTAIN it!

This week I am featuring a fellow health and wellness professional who is running a COMPLIMENTARY 2 part webinar on the "Ins" and "Outs" of Digestive Wellness. Her name is Martha Wilmore and she is a Certified Dietary Consultant, Wellness Coach, and internationally known educator/author in the field of complementary health care. During her health career of almost 25 years, she has earned respect in the field of functional wellness, hormonal wellness, and complementary health care. She is the Administrator of “The Institute of Optimal Lifestyle Wellness” and the Wellness Consultant at McKinley-Molodynia Chiropractor Center in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

When your body needs a safe & simple Cleanse

Looking for a SAFE, easy to follow one-week Body Cleanse...which does not interfere with your work schedule? The following is a cleanse which fits this description and is recommended by Health Care Professionals using Shaklee* Brand products in their practice. This one-week rejuvenating body cleanse is a modified vegetable fast.

To complete this cleanse, you will require the following:

  1. Premium Liver Detoxification Herbal Formula (Shaklee DTX)
  2. Energizing Soy Protein for cellular repair (Shaklee Protein or Cinch Shake)
  3. Herbal Bowel Conditioner (Shaklee Herbal Laxative)
  4. Intestinal Microflora / Probiotics (Shaklee Optiflora)
  5. Multiple Digestive Enzymes (Shaklee EZ-Gest)
  6. Seven Ultra Pure Omega 3 Fatty Acids (Shaklee OmegaGuard)

Of course, as with any cleanse, I would recommend you consult a health care practitioner, particularly if you are on any medication. Also keep in mind that the intention of a cleanse is to enhance the normal function of the body allowing the body to facilitate it’s own inherent healing capabilities. A cleanse is not designed to treat any diseases.

Once your doctor has approved this program, get started on your path to a healthier YOU! This cleanse will rejuvenate your digestive system. You see, inadequate digestion is the easiest way to initiate disease. By cleansing, you effectively provide your body with a much needed oil change! Specifically, the intensive nutrient support you provide your body with this program will help heal the digestive system and enhance the liver’s ability to detoxify.

With this modified vegetable fast, you give your body a week of rest so that it can focus on digestion rather than healing. Once the “food traffic” is modified to selected vegetable food groups, your body is given the necessary time to fix and clean one of the most important systems of the body, the digestive system. This system has a web-like effect on all systems of the body, directly affecting the function and health of each system. For a more proactive approach, you can safely do this cleanse 2 or 3 times a year.

If you’ve already tried cleansing before, try to recall if you saw the following benefits of an effective cleanse:

  1. Increased energy levels
  2. Enhance your mental clarity
  3. Decrease joint pain
  4. Reduce your total body fat
  5. Maximize nutrient absorption
  6. Reduce/eliminate bad breath
  7. Enhance sleep
  8. Clear up your complexion
  9. Support normal bowel function
  10. And much more!

For the complete program, broken down by day, including the list of recommended vegetables; call me at 647-405-4471.

Those of you who have already done this cleanse, comment on this blog.

To your health,

Nadia

Eat Right and Let Your Body Do the Rest

So far I’ve covered what a detox diet is and how your body detoxifies. This week I’ll be discussing how your eating habits effect your excretion of toxins from your body.

What you CAN do to help rid your body of toxins is to eat a well-balanced diet rich in fruit, vegetables, and fiber, and drink plenty of water. High-fiber foods in particular will help bind potential toxins so they can be excreted. Here are five tips on how to get more fiber in your diet:

  • Replace white bread with 100% whole wheat bread. Look for the words "whole wheat" at the top of the ingredient list and check the label for the grams of fiber. Look for a brand that provides at least 3 grams of fiber per serving, preferably soluble fiber.
  • Satisfy your sweet tooth with fruit. Fresh fruit is generally low in calories but high in fiber. One cup of fresh blackberries or raspberries has about 8 grams of fiber. One medium-sized pear or apple has 4 grams.
  • Eat your veggies. Vegetables provide an array of nutrients (vitamins, minerals, and phyto-nutrients) that include fiber. One artichoke has 5 grams of fiber, and a potato (eaten with the skin) provides 5 grams.
  • Ladle up some legumes. Beans and legumes provide a healthy fiber choice. Low in fat and versatile (great in soup, on salads, or as a vegetarian entrĂ©e), ½ cup of beans and legumes provides about 6 to 8 grams of fiber.
  • Fill in the gap with supplements. If getting adequate fiber from foods alone is a challenge, don't forget that supplemental fiber in the form of a dietary supplement or a nutritious meal-replacement beverage can help boost your daily fiber intake. Look for a fiber supplement that provides 5 to 6 grams of fiber per serving.

Remember, your body is naturally designed to keep toxins at bay. When you eat healthfully, get regular exercise, avoid smoking, get plenty of sleep, drink alcohol only in moderation, and manage your stress, your liver, kidneys, and digestive tract can do the detoxification job they're supposed to do.

If you think your body is in need of additional support or would like to learn about a safe cleanse, stay tuned to next week’s blog. I’ll be discussing a safe cleanse with no unpleasant drinks, plain tasteless food or harsh restrictions.

How Your Body Detoxifies

Last week I defined what a detox diet is and established that it is not necessarily a good thing. This week I’ll be discussing how your body detoxifies.

The truth of the matter is that your body is designed to detoxify itself. The liver is the major organ of detoxification in your body. Every substance that is absorbed by the intestines must first pass through the liver before going on to the general circulation. Every day your liver continually disposes of toxins produced internally (from food, water, and medications consumed) and externally (from the air you breathe). Special enzymes found in the liver take potentially toxic substances and change their chemical structure so they are less harmful and can be excreted by the kidneys or in waste.

The kidneys are responsible for ensuring that the blood circulating in our body is free from harmful organisms, waste products, and excess water. Each kidney has about a million nephrons, and within these nephrons are tinier structures that help filter the blood that passes through, ultimately removing waste materials and excreting them in the urine.

The large intestine also plays an important role in detoxification. It moves waste and toxic materials out of the body by the action of peristalsis—muscle contractions that create a wave-like motion, propelling wastes so they can be excreted and removed from the body. Consuming a high-fiber (soluble fiber is preferable) diet, maintaining a healthful balance of friendly microflora in the gut with regular intake of pre- and probiotics, drinking plenty of water, and getting regular exercise all help to optimize the detoxification function of the large intestine.

Stay tuned for next week’s blog when we cover how you can help your body detoxify safely.

To your health,
