The elimination of undigested food from the body is equally as important as the proper digestion and assimilation of food. In fact, there is nothing more significant and vital, because the danger of the inevitable effects of toxaemia, and toxic poisons as the outcome of neglected accumulation in the large intestine due to a poor diet and the inability to eliminate the debris and other waste matter from the body effectively, have a catastrophic effect on all aspects of our health and wellbeing and all of the body's tissues become affected by auto-intoxication.
Death begins in the colon. Rather than spending thousands of pounds treating symptoms of illness and diseases resulting from alimentary toxaemia that accumulates in our body. We can heal, rejuvenate, and restore balance, by making a few lifestyle and dietary changes. Increasing the amount of high-fibre whole foods has one of the most positive healing effects on our bodies. Not only filled with nutrients to give us the energy we need to thrive, eating a diet rich in bulk, and indigestible fibre, reduces the transit time of waste sitting in the large intestine and will encourage healthier optimal bowel movements.
