Repair / Rebuild the Intestinal Tract

The intestinal tract is the largest organ in the immune system. Intestinal inflammation and weakness will increase absorption of toxic material into the blood and lymph streams, a condition referred to as leaky gut syndrome, which adversely affects every system of your body. Leaky gut may lead to intolerances (sensitivities) and allergies.

Probiotics Are a Good Start To Replenish the Good Bacteria

The term probiotic refers to the good bacteria that are similar to those normally found in the gut. The colon houses over 500 species of bacteria that provide many functions, including:

• Helping produce many vitamins, such as K, Biotin and most B-vitamins (anti-stress vitamins), including B-12
• Manufacturing lactase which helps digest dairy
• Improving digestive efficiency
• Encouraging proper bowel function
• Recycling & eliminating toxins
• Working to reduce cholesterol levels
• Strengthening the immune system and protecting areas from ‘bad’ bacteria
• Changing levels of acidity
• Producing antibiotic-like substances, which helps protect us from bacteria, viruses, and yeast

Ways to Detoxify

• Eat fewer pre-packaged meals and processed foods which often contain preservatives and chemical additives.
• Eat organic produce free of pesticides.
• Run your tap water through a reverse osmosis filter.
• Use natural cosmetics, creams, and cleansers that are free of harmful chemicals.
• Avoid artificial fragrances.
• Use natural cleaning products.
• Check your mental attitude.

Hydration and Healthy Diet

• Drink at least ½ your body weight in ounces of water each day.
• Eat 7-9 servings of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables of different colors to provide a variety of nutrients.
• Choose lean cuts of meat, fish, and poultry. Protein is needed to manufacture white blood cells (build more soldiers).
• Avoid fast food, sodas, sugar-laden foods, white bread, processed foods, artificial sweeteners, and mucus-forming foods such as wheat and dairy.
• Avoid the “Bad Fats” such as trans fats. They slow down the function of T-cells (Immune Soldiers).
• Consume healthy fats such as those found in Omega-3 fatty acids, olive oil, raw nuts, avocados, and olives.
• Remember to eat plenty of fiber.
