When your body processes food, waste can sometimes build up on the wall of your colon. This excess waste that should have been expelled can compromise your health by slowly releasing toxins into your bloodstream. If you eat a lot of processed food or junk food, which barely has any dietary fiber, then you might need a cleanse.
You Don’t Want This To Happen…
Eating an unhealthy diet can put a lot of stress on the muscles of your small intestine and colon. This can cause small, bulging pouches called diverticula to develop in your digestive tract. People can retain 20 or more pounds of old putrid fecal matter in these pockets.
Overtime, waste that has accumulated within these pouches can weaken the walls of your intestine and lead to leaky gut and a weakened immune system. When one or more of these pouches become inflamed or infected, the condition is called diverticulitis.
The Simple Recipe To Prevent This
This recipe is loaded with dietary fiber, which is the key nutrient you need to help your bowels. Also, the combination of ingredients use in this breakfast recipe also helps promote healthy gut bacteria, which are essential for a strong immune system.
