Healthy Detoxing Requires Bowel Movements

Healthy Detox: Requires Emptying Your Bowels Regularly

A healthy detox requires that the toxins that get dumped into your intestines for removal get removed quickly. These toxins cannot be allowed to just sit there. If too many toxins are sitting in your intestines, they can begin to irritate your intestines. The toxins can also begin to re-enter the blood stream. This is called re-absorption. Empty your bowels at least twice a day to encourage a healthy detox by preventing the irritation of your intestines and re-absorption.

A bowel movement requires 40% fiber and 60% microbes. Fiber is the part of your food that you cannot digest. Therefore, it passes through your digestive track into the commode. It helps create bulk to encourage the bowel movement. Vegetables are excellent sources of fiber. Microbes are the tiny germs lact lactobacilli and bifidobacteria that live in your digestive tract. The microbes living in the colon help keep things moist so it will be easy to have a bowel movement. As long as each meal contains fiber and there is plenty of microbes to mix with the fiber, a bowel movement will occur. This means that you should have one bowel movement for each meal that you eat.

It is also important to work with a qualified and experienced healthcare professional when detoxing as they ensure that you have the proper amount of bowel movements while detoxing. For more information on this topic, call to speak with one of our specialist.
