improve your gut health

  • Get colonics, which cleanse the large intestines to promote whole-body detoxification.

  • Drinking plenty of water. Drink half your body weight in ounces.

  • Take digestive enzymes to promote better digestion in the small intestine.

  • Take probiotics. Balancing the gut flora in the intestines with good bacteria will help with gas, bloating, digestion and elimination.

  • Avoid mucus-forming food, which hardens the intestinal walls, such as dairy, white flour products in bakery goods, pizzas, and bread. All will stick to the intestinal walls like glue; decreasing elimination time. 

  • Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. These foods are easily digestible and provide the body with organic sodium needed to help the buffering system of the pancreas, allowing the food in the small intestine to become more alkaline. 

  • Lubricate the colon with flax oil and B vitamins.

  • Do enemas at home. More info: https://draxe.com/coffee-enema/

  • Add fresh-squeezed lemons to your water or juice. This helps increase acid in the stomach to break down protein.

  • Start the day with a warm glass of water (add lemon!). This helps to jump-start the digestive tract. 

  • Turn onto your left side before getting out of bed in the morning. Spending time there will allow gravity to move things in position for early removal.

  • Eat fiber with every meal to move things through efficiently. You can add ground flax seeds to your meals or a small portion of beans. It helps draw out toxins as well.

  • Add in Omega 3 oils, either fish oil or flaxseed oil is beneficial to the health of your colon.
