Keeping the digestive system going
LOCAL delicacies such as nasi lemak, assam laksa, chicken rice and roti canai are mouth-watering but most of them are high in calories and fat.
Overindulging can burden the digestive system.
A sluggish digestive system can cause waste to accumulate in the body.
When food waste is accumulated in the colon for a period of time, it will cause toxins produced by bacteria.
If allowed to build up, these toxins will be absorbed back into the bloodstream, exposing you to a higher risk of developing diseases.
The waste accumulated in the colon will harden over time, leaving only a narrow channel for small and soft faeces to pass through. This is one of the reasons we suffer from constipation.
If you are trying to lose weight and not seeing results, it could probably be because of the accumulated toxins inside your body.
A congested colon also restrains your body’s efficiency in absorbing nutrients.
There are several ways to maintain a good digestive system and colon. Start with good eating habits.
Change irregular eating patterns, eat more high fibre food, such as fruits and vegetables and control intake of meat and oily food.
Regular exercise will also help stimulate regular bowel movement.
Meanwhile, go for a regular detox programme to flush out toxins and hardened waste from the intestinal tract and restore a healthy digestive system.
Natural way to detox
Detoxifying is as simple as having a cuppa. Enjoying a detox tea made from 100% organic green tea and natural herbs is a good choice for cleansing the bowel gently and eliminating all toxins and excess fat stored in the bowel area. These teas are said to help relieve constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, flatulence and a bloated tummy. Helping your bowel movement also makes it easier to lose weight besides giving you higher levels of energy.
Proper detox tea does not over-stimulate the gastrointestinal tract nor cause any water loss or bowel dependency problems. It is always recommended to choose one with ingredients approved by Malaysia’s Health Ministry or even Singapore’s. Some are certified halal by Jakim, with manufacturing processes that comply with international Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Standards.
Take a cup of detox tea every day after your meal and you will love how you feel when your body is free of toxins and waste.
Detox teas are usually sold in all leading pharmacies, hypermarkets and selected traditional medical halls nationwide and within the region, such as Singapore and Brunei.
