#1. Enzymes. When you chew your food enzymes are released in the mouth and start the digestive process; therefore it is very important to chew your food well. I also recommend that you take some digestive enzymes with each meal, either in supplement form or by eating something that contains a high amount of enzymes such as papaya, or pineapple.
#2. Fiber, it is important to keep things moving in the colon and fiber does just that. I recommend eating a high fiber diet or supplementing with good quality fiber supplements such as psyllium, chia seeds, flax seeds, to name a few.
#3. Probiotics. Throughout our colon we have trillions of bacteria, some good and some bad. The challenge is to keep it balanced so that nutrients can be absorbed and viruses are kept from entering the blood stream. I recommend supplementing with a probiotic that contains 5 – 8 billion bacteria and 8 – 10 different strains.
#4. Hydrate! As mentioned in a previous health tip it is extremely important to drink water to maintain a healthy colon. The best water by far is alkaline ionized water. I can’t stress this point enough because even if you follow all the tips listed above and you are dehydrated, your body can not work efficiently no matter how well you eat.
My supplement recommendations are:
- Super enzymes by Now Foods
- ProFibe by Cerburg Products
- Jarrow Dophillus EPS by Jarrow
- SD501 water ionizer by Enagic
