The
number of people being diagnosed with leaky gut syndrome
is growing almost exponentially. What is this awful sounding
disease?
TINY PINSIZED HOLES in your intestinal
lining - brought on by stress (physical, mental, emotional),
pollution (air, water, food), alcohol, medication (yep that
too- even ibuprofin and antibiotics), and more.
What does it do?
Because of these holes, when you eat - the food that would
normally go through the intestinal tract - leaks out of
your intestinal lining into your bloodstream and POLLUTES
your body. That's what happens when large undigested food
particles go into places in your body they don't normally
enter.
Why is it bad?
Your immune system responds by recognizing these 'foods'
as foreign invaders - and you get an immune response - inflammation,
antigens develop - and then suddenly you become allergic
to these foods that you typically eat!!!
Is it bad to still eat foods I'm allergic or sensitive
to?
Yes. Your immune system not only has to do iits normal job
of defending your body from foreign invaders (such as the
cold virus), but now it also had to "defend" you
from large undigested food particles. Thus, you are left
with a weakened immune system!
Which foods are the biggest culprits?
Besides alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, and cigars, wheat
and dairy are two of the biggest culprits. But the foods
are not the cause - it is the environment you live within
and the life you lead.
Can I heal the leaky gut?
Absolutely. The best way is to follow and elimination
diet while cleaning your system with a detox program,
such as our Great
South Bay Detox. OR you may opt for something
less aggressive, such as beginning with a probiotic, such
as our Flora Blend, and Aloe Vera Juic to repair your intestinal
lining. You'll notice the difference right away - including
WEIGHT LOSS!!!
