Natural Cleansing to Promote Colon Health

When your colon isn’t working right, you can feel it right away – even though you may not know it’s your colon that’s bothering you. Colon problems can cause aching muscles, joint pain, fatigue, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, headaches, dull eyes, poor skin, spots and depression.

The inflammation from it can spread through your body and get into your blood. In fact, having a digestive system that’s toxic to your body is one of the main reasons people are chronically ill.

The typical American diet of refined sugars, starches and low-fiber foods produces a kind of sludge, creating a buildup and narrowing your colon. This buildup is the perfect breeding ground for all kinds of harmful bacteria and parasites. It also rubs and pushes against the walls of your colon, making them irritated and inflamed.

That’s why it’s critical to eat foods that clear out the colon regularly. Most Americans don’t do this, which may be why an estimated 100,000 people will be diagnosed with colon cancer this year.

A diet high in fiber is the best way to ensure optimal colon health. But the mainstream medical approach on this is misguided. You shouldn’t be eating a lot of cereal to get your fiber, or taking grain-based laxative products (which we’re told over and over is the best way to care for the digestive tract).

In fact, a study released a few weeks ago found that the non-rice cereals we eat increase colon cancer risk. It also found that those who eat the least fruit – which has natural fiber – have an increased risk, too.

When it comes to fiber, you should use what is natural and has been in our diet since primordial times. Before grains were domesticated.

Nature has given us all of the natural fiber we’ll ever need in fruits, nuts and vegetables. Here are some of the best sources of natural fiber:

Food	Portion	Dietary Fiber (grams)	Soluble(grams)	Insoluble (grams)
Fruits
Apple	1 Medium	2.9	0.9	2.0
Orange	1 Medium	2.0	1.3	0.7
Banana	1 Medium	2.0	0.6	1.4
Vegetables
Broccoli	1 stalk	2.7	1.3	1.4
Carrots	1 large	2.9	1.3	1.6
Tomato	1 small	0.8	0.1	0.7
Legumes
Green Peas	2/3 cup cooked	3.9	0.6	3.3
Kidney Beans	1/2 cup cooked	6.5	1.6	4.9
Pinto Beans	1/2 cup cooked	5.9	1.2	4.7
Lentils	2/3 cup cooked	4.5	0.6	3.9

If you can’t get enough fiber through the food you eat, an effective colon cleanse can release years of toxic buildup and reduce your risk of developing chronic diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome. It will prevent the toxins from overloading your colon, digestive system and blood stream.

Winter is Coming… Give Your Immune System a Boost!

Flavonoids are potent antioxidants that protect the body and fight silent inflammation – the leading cause of many chronic diseases, including cancer, heart disease, stroke, dementia and others. Flavonoid-rich foods include vegetables, tea, red wine and dark chocolate.

There are more than 5,000 flavonoids, but one of the most powerful is Quercetin. It’s one of nature’s best immune boosters and antihistamines – and among the most abundant flavonoids found in food.

Quercetin fights free radicals that can damage cells. But what really makes quercetin unique is that it protects you in three ways. It’s contains antioxidant, antihistamine and anti-inflammatory power. It stops your body from boosting histamine levels when you get sick, which can reduce symptoms like a stuffy nose, congestion and more.

One recent study by The American Journal of Physiology found that quercetin can protect against the flu for immune systems under stress. Another study put Quercetin’s healing powers to the test against the common cold, when University of Michigan researchers tested Quercetin on cells infected with the rhinovirus. Quercetin stopped the virus from replicating and prevented excess inflammation.

In a study to test the strength of Quercetin and vitamin C for fighting free radicals, Quercetin was a more effective antioxidant than vitamin C. So the next time you come down with a bug, treat it with 10 mg of quercetin daily.

The easiest way to get enough Quercetin is to eat dark, leafy, greens, or other dark-colored vegetables like red onions, scallions and kale. Even capers have Quercetin. But, what you may not know is that if you cook those veggies, they lose Quercetin. So it’s best to eat them washed and raw. A good way to remember which fruits have the most Quercetin is that they have it in the skin. That means blueberries, blackberries, cherries, grapes, and, of course, apples.

You can also try supplementing. American Nutrition carries a variety of dosages of Quercetin – along with several other rare and naturalimmune-boosting herbs and nutrients.

Improve Fitness and Health with a Nutritious Weight Loss Diet

You should begin your diet with a Natural Cleanse, this will help reduce toxins and excess food build up in your body. Cleaning out your digestive system and making way for vitamins and nutrients will set you on the right path for healthy effective weight loss.

If you want to lose weight you will have to eat less foods that are high in saturated fat and sugar. You can choose vegetables or fruits as a healthy alternative to sugar filled snacks. That will make it easier to control your appetite and calorie intake.

Exchanging old habits for a new eating routine can be difficult while on a Weight loss diet. When cutting out certain fats in your diet, you must be careful not to allow vital nutrients to slip through the cracks. Cutting back doesn’t mean taking out nutritional foods in your diet.

Avoid saturated fat as often as you can, try to switch to a balance of poly and monounsaturated fats instead. Fat helps with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K. It helps boost energy levels, and the essential fatty acids in fat are vital for many important body functions. Reach for foods rich in proteins and omega-3 essential polyunsaturated fats. Great dietary sources of protein and omega-3 include flaxseed, flaxseed oil, walnuts, fish including salmon, mackerel, and tuna.

Curb hunger between meals with snacks that are high in fiber. High-fiber foods such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains, satisfy your hunger and help slow digestion between meals. When food moves slowly through the digestive system, blood-sugar levels remain on an even keel and leave you feeling full.

You may start to experience low energy levels due to your lower calorie intake. Keep your body full of B vitamins, these assist in bodily functions such as energy production and help to regulate or speed up your metabolism. B vitamins also assist in maintaining healthy balanced thyroid and adrenal functions.

Below is a list of some foods that are rich in Vitamin B. Adding these to your diet will help you to feel energized and motivated to exercise while you are dieting, which in turn will help you shed pounds faster.

Whole grains
Beans
Eggs
Yogurt
Green leafy vegetables
Almonds
Avocados
Poultry
Broccoli
Brewer’s Yeast
Organ meats (such as liver), nuts, and fish.

These Supplements can also Help you Stay Healthy while Losing Weight:

Calcium helps to prevent fat storage and increases food metabolism rate. Recent studies have linked calcium intake to weight loss, and a significant rate of pounds shed in people whose diets are calcium deficient. Even if you are not deficient in calcium, it is a critical nutrient, especially for women. Calcium is vital to the formation and growth of the bones and teeth and helps to prevent osteoporosis, among its other roles. Get your calcium from green leafy vegetables, tofu, salmon, and dairy products.

Other minerals also such as the trace mineral Chromium, assist in stabilizing blood-sugar levels and is found in brewer’s yeast, egg yolks, beef, hard cheeses, liver, and whole-grain breads.

Zinc supports protein synthesis and is essential to the formation of insulin. Zinc sources include Brazil nuts, shellfish, eggs, and lean meats. Manganese helps regulate cholesterol metabolism and blood glucose and is found in wheat germ, spinach, split peas, nuts, and oatmeal.
