Sluggish and congested bowels are caused by our bodies’ failure to absorb sufficient proper enzymes via the colon and digestive tract. As over cooking and processing eliminates natural enzymes from many foods, our digestive systems ‘leech’ the shortfall from other bodily areas where such enzymes maybe more plentiful.
If these enzymes are not available, foods will fail to digest properly and end up stored as body fat. The prolonged period such fat stay in the body system also causes fermentation, bloating and the production of foul smelling gases. As intestinal parasites, bacteria, fungi and viruses all thrive in such environments, it’s wise to stop them from gaining a foothold and robbing us of our energy and destroying our health.
Taking fermented foods and probiotic supplements which are known to boost our bodies’ enzyme levels and enable us to better process food is one easy and effective answer.
