“We aren’t what we eat, we are what we don’t shit.” -Hugh Romney. Fiber is vital to proper digestion, absorption and assimilation of our food. It helps scrape gunk off our intestinal walls and out of our bodies as waste. According to Dr. Jane Hendricks you need seven types of fiber. These are cellulose, hemicellulose, bran, pectin, gums, lignans and mueselage. “Sprouts, whole grains, vegetables and fruits all produce large, soft, moist, well-formed stools that glide along easily through the intestines.” -John Robbins
Low fiber, high fat diets lead to longer transit times and drying of feces. Hemorrhoids, hiatal hernia, Vericose veins, intractable constipation, bleeding, abdominal pain, appendicitis and diverticulosis are caused by the forceful pushing of old, dry stools through the intestines. Research shows a diet high in fiber and low in fat may prevent and heal most digestive diseases. Although modern western medicine would like to treat symptoms with drugs this only puts a band-aid over the problem of consistently consuming a low fiber, high fat diet, such as the Standard American Diet. If you don’t change the way you eat, you can’t expect true health. Drugs only place a beautiful mask over the real problem beneath the problem.
Meat, dairy, and other fiberless foods result in a build-up of mucoid plaque which mucks up the intestines, slowing down vital absorption and assimilation of nutrients. This, coupled with a severe degradation of nutrients in our soils over the past 50 years through the agricultural revolution, leaves America starving for nutrients. This malnutrition is ironic since we are one of the most overfed countries in the world. In fact Dr. Jane Hendricks, a former naturopathic doctor is convinced that all diseases are caused by either malnutrition or toxicity. She has also been found supporting the dehydrated, concentrated and pure organ-specific food herbs made by Sunrider International as a way to compensate for the nutritional gap in America’s food industry. Your colon muscles need to be smooth and toned to generate powerful, rhythmic contractions (peristalsis) that move waste along. Sunrider’s fibertone tones these muscle and their Sunbar contains 4 types of fiber to clean out the intestines. Quinary, their 50 herb formulation is broken down into 5 formulations which feed the five systems of the body: immune, circulatory, endocrine, digestive and respiratory. Assimilaid is the formulation name for the herbs that feed the digestive system. Contact me for more information on nutrition and Sunrider.
