What’s a Colon and What’s it For?

what-is-a-colonThe colon forms the largest part of the large intestine, the 'tube' through which digested food passes.

That food is joined by digestive juices, including stomach acid and bile, on its route through the digestive system. That semi-fluid mass, known as chyme, isn't all just waste, though. A great many things happen to it on its way out of the body first.

The partially digested material that exits from the small intestine still contains a great deal of water, liquid that the body conserves naturally. The muscular and chemical action inside the colon helps extract that water from the chyme along its journey, a trip through the approximately 5 feet of colon inside the abdominal cavity.

Extracting that water isn't just a matter of efficiency, though. Proper water balance is vital to a huge variety of the chemical reactions in the body, as well as playing an essential role in internal temperature regulation. The colon does much more than just pack digested food into feces for elimination.

While that water is being extracted other important processes are taking place. There are over 700 species of bacteria that live in the 'gut', many of them playing a crucial role in digestion and health. Among other things, they help produce vitamins K and Biotin (a B-type vitamin).

The colon absorbs some of those products of the digestive processes of the bacteria themselves, then passes them back into the bloodstream. The blood then distributes those nutrients to tissues throughout the body. This is just one reason that antibiotics need to be taken with care. They can suppress not only harmful bacteria but the useful ones, too.

Those bacteria are also responsible for creating the gas (flatus) that sometimes upsets your stomach or fouls the air. As they consume undigested polysaccharides usually in the form of human-indigestible fiber we eat, they produce that gas. The gas itself is not, contrary to popular thinking, mostly methane or hydrogen sulphide ('egg' gas). It's chiefly nitrogen and carbon dioxide, with trace amounts of those other molecules, along with some hydrogen.

When those bacteria break down fiber they're producing nutrients not only for their own survival, but the vitamins mentioned above. At the same time, they generate compounds that provide nourishment for the cells that line the colon (the epithelium). They also contribute to creating lymphatic cells that form a key part of the immune system.

The chyme, now fully processed, continues to move down the colon by a slow process of muscular contraction called peristalsis. The python-like squeezing and relaxing moves the material ultimately down into the rectum, compacting it and extracting water to form feces. Note, the rectum is the six inch or so 'tube' just up from the anus, the opening. The feces are then squeezed out the anus in a bowel movement.

The whole process can take 10-12 hours and, as you can see, involves much more than simply pushing digested food waste through a 2 1/2 inch diameter tube. It's a necessary partner in total body health.

Detoxification Techniques

The use of detoxification techniques can sometimes make the difference between an effective holistic healing program and endless frustration.  I have seen these techniques get many people started on their healing path where medications, diet, exercise, yoga, and everything else failed.

Cleansing techniques such as Bowtrol have been frequently and successfully prescribed by holistic healers for moderate to severe immune system disorders.

It is well-known that eating a diet high in saturated fats can often lead to a buildup in the arteries (atherosclerosis).  In a similar fashion, fats, cholesterols, mucus, xenobiotics (organic
toxins), inorganic chemicals, etc. can build up in various organs and  tissues of the body, severely affecting the operation of those organs and tissues.

Often, these buildups aren't severe enough to be recognized as diseases unto themselves, yet they can lead to quite a few problems throughout the body.

The exposure to toxic chemicals is a large source of toxic  buildups throughout the body.  After years of exposure to these substances, often the body can no longer keep up with eliminating these substances and they get recirculated into the bloodstream, wreaking havoc thoughout the body, or stored in the liver, body fat or many other parts of the body.

These cleanses are geared toward removing these toxic chemicals as well as other toxins.

In addition to the buildups throughout the body, problems can begin  to arise in different areas of the body.  The GI tract can develop microscopic ulcerations, pH imbalances, imbalance in bacteria and fungus, granulomas, hypersecretion of mucus, and many other problems.

blue-colonIn addition to deposits of fatty acids in the liver, liver cells can  begin to die, bile flow can become inhibited making digestion of fats difficult, etc.

And so it goes with other organs and tissues  throughout the body.

These types of buildups and problems throughout the body can contribute to the development of a serious illness.

In order to reverse the serious illness, the buildups and other problems need to  be removed as part of an overall healing plan.

A holistic healing plan *without* the use of cleansing techniques can often result in the gradual removal of toxic substances from the body.

But, in many instances, the detoxification is so slow or even non-existent  that the use of cleansing techniques can be extremely beneficial.

If you have had chemical poisoning or have been using prescription pharmaceuticals for a number of years, detoxification may be  extremely helpful to your recovery.

Revive Your Soul - protect the Amazon rainforest and its people ...
*Made exclusively with earthfruits*

What is Acai ?
acai-berry-treeAcai (pronounced: ah-sigh-EE ) is a fruit that grows on the Acai Palm Trees in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil. The Acai berry is small in size (smaller than a grape) and is dark purple in color. Acai is mostly seed, covered in a small amount of pulp. In fact, about 90% of the Acai berry is seed - it is important to note that no one eats the Acai berry seed.

Organic Acai Berry supplements are made with EarthFruits 100% Freeze Dried, Organic, and Fairly-Traded Acai. EarthFruits is located in the heart of the acai harvesting region so they are able to freeze the berries within 12 to 18 hours after harvesting. With the latest technology, minimal processing, and refined freeze-drying techniques, EarthFruits leads the way in providing full potency ingredients, with optimal nutrient content and the highest ORAC values (700/gm).

How can Acai help ?

Acai Berry

• Maintain healthy function of bodily systems and organs

• Increase energy, libido and stamina

• Promote healthy, glowing skin and hair

• Promote healthy sleep

• Support immune system

• Act as a powerful anti-inflammatory

• Help reduce pain and soreness

• Help rejuvenate mind, body and spirit

acai-berriesDue to the high Omega fat content the Acai Berry is very perishable and spoils within about 24 hours of being picked from the Acai Palm tree. For this reason, fresh Acai berries are only an option if you happen to live in the Amazon Rainforest. For the rest of us, fresh Acai is not an option. The good news is Acai pulp can be dehydrated into a powder and freeze dried. This powder can then be put into capsules to make pure Acai supplements that maintain all the nutritional properties of fresh Acai - just in a concentrated form.

How can Acai Berry provide all those healthy benefits ?

Incredible Antioxidant and Anthocyanins Levels
• Simply put, Acai is one of the highest antioxidant fruits in the world. Acai has 10 times the antioxidant level of grapes and twice that of blueberries. Acai has 10 to 30 times the Anthocyanins (a powerful antioxidant) of red wine. The ORAC score (a measure of antioxidant power) for 100 grams of freeze dried Earth Fruits Acai powder is over 70,000. An almost unbelievable number when you consider most of the population consumes less than 1,000 ORAC units a day.

Healthy Fats

• The Acai berry is very rich in healthy Omega fats. Nearly 50% of the Acai berry is fat - with 74% of the fat coming from healthy unsaturated fats such as Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9.

Excellent source of Plant Sterols

• Three plant sterols (or photosterols) have been identified in Acai: B-sitosterol, campesterol and sigmasterol. Photosterols have been shown to have numerous health benefits for maintaining healthy heart and digestive function.

Rich in Amino Acids and Protein

•  7.59% of the weight of the Acai pulp is from amino acids; 19 different amino acids have been identified in Acai. Since amino acids are the building blocks of protein, it is no surprise that you have over 8 grams of protein in a 100 gram serving of Acai.

Good source of Vitamins and Minerals

• Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C and E are all present in Acai. In fact, Acai contain as much Vitamin C as blueberries and has over 1000 IU of Vitamin A for every 100 grams of Acai. In addition, potassium, calcium, magnesium, copper and zinc are all found in Acai.

Good Source of Fiber
• For a fruit, Acai has a strong fiber profile. There are about 14 grams of fiber in every 100 grams of freeze dried Acai powder.

colon cleanse Acai The acai berry diet and colon cleanse supplements have always been a great choice for those who want to lose weight and prevent serious health problems. The high antioxidant level in the acai berries boost energy, improve digestive functions, and help increase weight loss. The colon cleanse product eliminates the build-up of waste matter and harmful toxins in the large intestine.

Healthy Diet for a Healthy Colon

Your colon does much more than just expel digested food. It's a major contributor to your overall health. You can help keep it healthy in turn to perform that job by adopting the right diet.

You've probably heard that eating fiber helps, and there's a lot of evidence for that.

Like any topic in nutrition and health, there are always ongoing studies and they don't always agree. But some things are known with high confidence.

Among them is that indigestible fiber provides the material to help keep that waste material (called chyme) moving well through the colon. It also provides bulk that is not too moist and not too dry, to create feces that are easy to eliminate.

That helps prevent constipation or diarrhea.

Fiber's role in reducing colorectal cancers, one of the top two or three most common types in the U.S. and Canada according to the CDC, is less clearcut. There are many studies that suggest, however, that waste that remains in the large intestine too long increases the odds of such cancers.

Fiber helps keep things moving and helps regulate the moisture content of stools. The whole process normally takes 10-12 hours, producing two to three bowel movements per day. Infrequent bowel movements are associated with several health problems.

How do you get that fiber?

The American Cancer Society recommends five servings per day of fruits and vegetables, like bananas and green beans, and many types of nuts and whole grains, like oats or flax seed. The total should be between 20-35 grams per day.

Folic acid or folates, a type of B-vitamin, are another helpful component of a diet that helps keep your colon functioning well. Studies have linked inadequate amounts to colon cancer. For those individuals who don't get enough in fortified foods, supplements are a good source of additional folic acid. About 400 micrograms (0.4mg) is right for most individuals.

Milk, along with other foods rich in calcium and Vitamin D, are still another helpful component of a colon-healthy diet. Sources of those also include fortified cereals and orange juice, as well as dark green vegetables, almonds, or yogurt. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium. Among other useful roles, calcium lowers the chance of creating colon polyps, common precursors to colorectal cancers.

Many studies suggest that reducing the percentage of fat in the diet can help reduce your chance of colon cancer and contribute to overall colon health. Fat is more 'calorie dense' and obesity has been linked with many types of cancer. But, there is fat and then there is fat and some fat, both the right amount and type, is vital for proper nerve function and other biological processes. Omega-3 fatty acids, for example, are a big boon to a proper diet. Saturated fats, on the other hand, increase your odds of a variety of health problems, such as diabetes.

Last, but far from least, don't forget that water! The colon (along with other organs) will extract the amount you should retain, but it uses some. Optimal amounts range from 6-10 8oz glasses per day (or the equivalent), depending on your body weight. Remember, caffeinated beverages don't count toward the total because they act as a diuretic.

Complete Blessed Herbs Colon Cleansing Kits, separately packaged at a special discounted price. Ideal for a partner or friend. Equivalent to the Blessed Herbs Partner Pak

What the colon cleanse Kit™ Does

1) Assures Regular and Comfortable Bowel Movements*

The herbal stimulant formula not only helps the bowels move regularly (2–3 times/day), but also includes carminative herbs that reduce or eliminate cramps, gas and griping that could be caused if stimulating herbs are taken by themselves.

2) Removes Old, Accumulated Waste from Your Small and Large (Colon) Intestines*

In the following section (see Removing Built-up Waste - external link), is explained how cleansing combined with a liquids-only fast enables the herbal blend to literally bind to and pull out old waste that is stuck to your intestinal walls.* The Colon Cleansing Kit™ may alternatively be done without fasting, providing a milder cleanse for increased regularity and gentler cleansing.
To maintain optimum energy during the five day, liquid only fast we recommend taking the Organic Superfood along with the The Colon Cleansing Kit™. It will support your natural energy levels, while allowing you to maintain a liquid only diet. That said, it is not required to take this during the cleanse and many people have completed the cleanse only by taking juice.

3) Rejuvenates the Digestive System*

The herbal formulas of the Colon Cleansing Kit™ are designed to restore and encourage the natural functions of your entire digestive system, including the stomach, both the small and large (colon) intestines, liver, gallbladder and pancreas.*
• Stimulates digestive secretions*
• Provides tonic support for digestive organs and mucus membranes*
• Decongests the liver and stimulates bile flow*

4) Prepares You for the Internal Cleansing Kit

The Colon Cleansing Kit™ can be used (2-4 times/year) as a stand-alone cleansing therapy – or as the first step of the Complete Cleansing Program™. It is highly recommended to fully cleanse the colon prior to beginning the Internal Cleansing Kit™. A well-functioning colon enables the herbal formulas to work directly with the other five pathways of cleansing (liver, lungs, kidneys, skin and lymph), without having to deal with a “backed-up” body sewer (colon) – the 6th pathway.* By removing old, accumulated wastes from the intestines, this allows the Para-Cleansing formulas of the Internal Cleansing Kit™ to re-balance the “unwanted guests” population more easily and more completely.*

How do I take the Organic Superfood with the Colon Cleansing Kit?

If you decide to take the Organic Superfood it is best to take it two hours after taking Toxin Absorber to assure maximum absorption of the nutrition. You should note that unlike a regular meal, the energy usually only lasts for about an hour. If you take it between Toxin Aborber packets you can take up to five drinks of the Organic Superfood each day of the colon cleanse. The Organic Superfood will not interfere with the removal of old intestinal debris. However, you may notice that some of your bowel movements are tinged with green - this is normal.

Daily Bowel Movements

If you get to the end of the day and have not had a bowel movement or if you feel constipated, don't wait until the next day. Take an enema / colema before bed that very same day and also increase 'your number' of Digestive Stimulator capsules that evening.

Which Diets Work For Body Detox

Reading the current article top to bottom will give you an excellent understanding of this topic. Detox Diet Paln

As you know, the air, food, and water around us isn’t as clean and natural as we would like it to be. Cars and industries throw pollution particles in the air, which we later breathe into our systems. Food is processed with chemicals, such as colorants and preservatives. We certainly don’t help by ingesting big quantities of products that are hard to digest, like alcohol, heavy species, and red meat. With the industrial advancement the very element our body needs to function, water is being polluted the most.

With all these chemicals and toxins, our bodies do the best they can, but unless we help them, there’s a limit to what they can do before our systems breakdown and we get sick, sometimes severely. A detox diet plan can make a lot of difference, specially for our liver.

Following a detox diet plan isn’t as hard as most people think. In fact, it’s usually easier and cheaper to prepare than what we normally eat, except of course, pre-made foods, but then again, you want to cut down on those for your own sake.

Obviously drinking lots of water is where a good body detox diet plan will start from. Our bodies need approximately half a gallon each day to function well. Water is the medium through which our body eliminates toxins from our bodies, via sweating and the urinary system.

A detox diet plan can eliminate certain foods or drinks, as long as it keeps the nutritional balance of our diet. That’s why you should check the nutritional values of a detox diet plan before you commit to it. These include the vitamins, calories, carbs, etc., that you’re getting. This information is important because you can then compare it against a nutritional chart and see to it that you’re getting all the nutritional elements that you need, even after cutting back on some types of food.

Reducing the carbohydrates or sometimes known as Carbs are common in detox diet plans and a main part of the ajenda. Some will reduce only simple carbs, like sugar, cake and candy, while others will aim to reduce both simple and complex carbs, like the ones included in fruits. Nevertheless, a detox diet plan should not eliminate them completely.

And for good reason any detox diet plan that works will get rid of consumption of alcohol from the diet. Alcohol is one of the most difficult substances to break down for the organ that handles our natural detox process. It tends to accumulate scar tissue in the long run, which results in a cirrhosis. Cutting down on the drinks might have a bigger impact on you health that what you might think.

Asthma And Allergy Medication

Ever had that queasy feeling after a sumptuous dinner earlier in the evening? Would it help to be aware of the difference between food allergy and food poisoning?  In fact there are many differences between food allergies and food poisoning. Food poisoning usually occurs when food is not completely cooked and becomes somehow tainted. When you’re allergic to a specific food, you can’t consume that food no matter how it’s prepared.

Food allergy symptoms are very similar to any other allergic reaction. Within 15 minutes after eating, the indicators are most likely to show up.  Food allergy symptoms are as follows: itching, swelling of the mouth, swelling of the throat, breathing problems, digestive problems, nausea, diarrhea, and stomach pain.  Hives, eczema, and asthma are also symptoms of allergies.

If you have swelling of the mouth and throat, you need to seek the immediate attention of a health care professional to take a food allergy test. Severe food allergy is manifested through difficulty in breathing and chest tightening and it needs to be attended to straight away.  This could be potentially fatal if left untreated.

Common foods that bring about allergies are peanuts, gluten, shellfish, soy, dairy, corn, tomatoes, or eggs. To avoid further complications, avoid having nuts on your foods when you prepare meals for a number of people.  Make vegetarian as well as gluten-free versions of everything you create.

Getting tested for food allergies is the safest and most accurate way of knowing if you truly have an allergy or not. A test for allergy is 100% pain free but you have to complete the process in due time. There are two main types of tests - one is a skin test where they prick your skin and the other is RAST testing, where they evaluate your blood sample.  Skin testing has been known to be the best and you can have them in an allergy relief center.

Skin testing has been used for hundreds of years and is the test of choice worldwide. The test will begin by performing a prick, scratch, or puncture with a very small needle. It bleeds a little - just enough for the allergen to enter the skin.

After you’re scratched with the needle, a combination of chemicals with the allergen included is placed in the microscopic cut. Your skin commonly reacts after 10-15 minutes.  A positive allergy test can be spotted by a red bump that’s itchy - sort of like a bug bite.

If you’re found to have a food allergy, you have to remember to always ask if the food that you’re allergic to is in anything you are about to eat.  Check the labels on any and all products at the grocery store and read the ingredients for allergy prevention.

If you have children, also get them tested – food allergies have been known to pass from one generation to another genetically.  Let your child’s teachers know what you’re allergic to as well as what your child is allergic to just to be on the safe side.

What’s Involved In Allergy Testing?

Ever wonder what exactly is involved when taking an allergy test?  It's ok, nothing to be afraid of. Testing for allergies is quite easy really.  A quick test measures exactly what reaction a person may have to a certain set of allergens such as pollen, dust, pet dander, mold, various types of medication and foods such as peanuts.

Basically, there are two known types of allergy tests that are proven to be highly effective.  You can have a skin test, which involves a slight prick on your skin, or RAST, which is otherwise known as radioallergosorbent testing, where blood samples are checked.

The examinations are done in a doctor’s office or in a lab. An allergist is a person who do not have a full training and certification to formally test you - so be mindful! There are some allergy skin testing practioners out there who are not properly qualified.

Skin testing has made its name in the forefront of allergy testing.  It’s been in use now for more than a 100 years and it continues to be the preferred test of choice. The test will begin with a small scratch, prick or shallow puncture.

After that, a tiny drop of liquid containing the allergen to be tested is placed on top of the cut.  Contrary to what you may be thinking, this doesn’t really hurt at all. The cut is far too microscopic to be the cause of any pain.  The needle used barely scratches the surface of the skin and it is rare that you will have any evident bleeding.

After the allergen solution has been applied, the skin usually requires about 10-15 minutes to allow for any possible reaction.  A positive skin test result is indicated by an itchy red or pink bump that starts to form that looks a little like the reaction you would get from a bug bite.

In cases where you get a positive allergy test, it shows that your body has antibodies to the solution being tested. What that  means is that you are probably going to experience some allergy symptoms in relation to that specific substance.

This positive result doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re allergic.  After you see the red bump formation, the test will then be followed up by comparing to two other tests with the same allergen as the first, alongside a negative control, such as saltwater and a positive control, a histamine.  You will  then need to wait to see what, if any, reactions to these two are. These two additional tests are put there to ensure you aren’t simply reacting to the pricking of the needle itself.

If  your test results turn out to be negative, even though your history of allergic reactions predict that you should be allergic, you will receive another test. This test is named intradermal skin testing.

This means you need to work with a weaker allergen solution under the utmost layer of the skin. They do this with the aid of a very small needle that doesn't hurt even a bit. This can be done for all kinds of allergies including an allergy test for joint pain in cases where you are suffering from an allergy in this part of the body.

The two skin tests show slight allergic reaction that are so helpful in determining the reactions in common allergies and symptoms.  It provides you with some idea of the look and feel of the allergic reaction so you know how to identify whether you’re having an allergic reaction or if it’s simply an insect bite of some kind. This will enable you to be more in control of staying away from environments that otherwise cause an allergic reaction such as to stop eating peanuts, stop being near cats, dogs, staying away from high pollen areas, etc.

Having information about allergy testing will make you prepare for the things that are yet to come.  Many people avoid testing because they are afraid about what it involves but the relief they can get from allergy symptoms once they’re informed can really make up for that. This indeed is a sure way to successful allergies relief.

Atkins diet food is easy to find once you know what you are looking for. The books, food pyramid and online resources can help you make better food choices and stay on the diet for the long term.The Atkins diet is not a new phenomenon. The diet first appeared in the late 1970s and has grown popularity in recent years in response to the low-fat diet craze. As dieters had trouble with low-fat plans, they searched for a new solution and Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution book found a new audience.

A lot of people have jumped on the Atkins bandwagon and there has been a lot of hype as a result. But what are the basic principles of the Atkins diet?

When you eat excess carbohydrates and sugar, your body notices that sugar levels are elevated. Insulin is released from the pancreas in order to store sugar as glycogen in the liver and muscle cells for extra energy later on. However, your body can only store so much glycogen at once. As soon as your body reaches its limit for glycogen storage, the excess carbohydrates are stored as fat. This happens to everyone who eats too many carbohydrates.

The remedy for people who are insulin resistant is a diet restricted in carbohydrates. The crux of the Atkins diet is a limitation of carbohydrates in all of its forms. The foods restricted on the Atkins plan include simple sugars (like cookies, sodas and sweets) and complex carbohydrates (like bread, rice and grains). Even carbohydrates that are considered healthy, such as oatmeal, brown rice and whole wheat bread, are restricted on the program.

The diet has you restrict your carbohydrate intake to less than 40 grams a day. This will put your body in a state of ketosis. While in ketosis, your body will burn fat as fuel. According to Dr. Atkins’ research, the ketosis state will also affect insulin production and it will prevent more fat from being formed. Your body will begin using your stored fat as an efficient form of fuel, and you’ll lose weight.

However, there are also thousands of individuals who have found success with the Atkins diet. They can speak from personal experience and know that the diet works and it is an effective means of keeping weight off. There are thousands of testimonials that tout the benefits of the low carb way of living. Learn How To to get rid of belly fat.

Another popular Atkins criticism is that it focuses too much on food and not enough on exercise. This is an unfair claim because the Atkins books clearly spell out a need for exercise. There is a lot of attention paid to food choices because they are an integral part of the program, and they are different foods than what people are normally used to eating. However, this does not mean that exercise is not an integral part of the Atkins program. Aerobic and anaerobic exercise regimens are encouraged, and both will greatly increase your weight loss efforts.

There are pros and cons to many diets. If you don’t particularly enjoy preparing and eating meat, then Atkins is probably not for you. But if you are considering Atkins, make sure to look beyond the common criticisms for the truth about the diet.
