In order to produce heart beat, breaths, energy in the form
of ATP (the list goes on) our body is constantly producing waste, toxic waste*. Good news, our bodies are also constantly eliminating
this waste. as long as Good In = Bad out
all is well and we are in ‘homeostasis”.
But, in most of us, our BAD IN is on the rise. I used to ask my patients how many bowel
movements they had per day, looking for the perfect answer of 2-3 a day, 1
after each meal, and so rarely got it, that I now ask, “How many bowel
movements do you have a week”. With 5
now the norm. Quite literally my
friends, we are now a society that is full of crap.
Why is this the
case? Poor food choices, inflammation,
dysbiosis, slowing down of our metabolism, slowing down of our organ processes,
inefficient elimination pathways producing generally sluggishness. And for those of you thinking, oh, all I need
is a coffee (or a glass of milk…or any substance typically on the ‘food that
causes inflammation and sensitivities list) and I’m as regular as clock work –
think again. That coffee does the trick
because it is irritating the mucous membranes, causing inflammation – so yes,
its helping to some degree, but it is not indicative of a healthy robust
digestive system.
The first step for any wellness program is to create a
healthy digestive track, with a minimum of 2 bowel movements daily, well
formed, no heart burn, or gas, or bloating – even if those things are now ‘common’
doesn’t mean that that in normal.
Examples of
potentially dangerous toxins / free radicals: *Ammonia, aldehydes, alcohols, hydroxyl
radical, superoxide anion radical, hydrogen peroxide, oxygen singlet, hypochlorite, nitric oxide,
homocysteine, cardon dioxide, bilirubin, adducts (often implicated in Fatty Liver disease).
