Colon-Cleansing-Flaxseed-Flour-and-Kefir1-600x448

We need to take care of our diet and the foods we consume because they affect every part of our body, but the digestive system is affected the most.

The toxins which come with the consumed food accumulate in the system after a while and they can cause various health issues including constipation, diarrhea, bowel movements, weak immune system, and low energy levels.

You can solve these health issues with a simple colon detoxification. It will improve your overall health, and will help lose weight due to the fact that detoxification is the first step in the losing weight process. It is recommended to do this cleaning before you start any weight loss program.

These are the 2 ingredients for colon detoxification which will improve your overall health:

 

Kefir

Kefir is a beverage which includes milk and specific grains. It is a excellent source of protein and is full of minerals, amino acids, and B vitamins, which makes it extremely beneficial for the gut.

It will clean the intestines, eliminate pathogens like E. Coli and return the balance of the intestinal flora thanks to the probiotic structures it contains as a few strains of useful bacteria and healthy yeasts.

It is also great for strengthening the immune system and optimizing the digestive system.

Flaxseed

It is a great ingredient which can help you with the cleansing. In order to increase their size these seeds need to be soaked in water. They will remove the waste toxins because they have alpha-linoleic acid which is a type of omega-3 fatty acids.

It is very important to grind these seeds with coffee grinder because it is difficult for our digestive system to digest them whole.

Combination of kefir and flaxseed

This combination is very powerful when it comes to cleansing. It is very important to use it in smaller quantities at first and then, gradually increase the intake because fermented food is often problematic for digestion for people who don’t use it so often. Take this remedy 2-3 times weekly, for 15 days. The optimal capacity of the immune system will be restored after this period.

Preparation and usage:

Add one tablespoon of grounded flax seed in 1/3 or ¼ glass of kefir. It is very important to consume 1 glass of this mixture in the morning, on an empty stomach, and another glass before going to bed. This remedy requires consuming 8 or more glasses of water a day. This procedure need to be performed for 1 week then take a break for 2-3 days. After the break, you can use the natural cleanser again and do the procedure as many times as you want.

What Happens to Your Body When You Eat Flaxseed Every Day

I want to share an interesting story with you. Jim, a 62-year-old from Tennessee, got a wake-up call when his cholesterol measured in at a scary 288 mg/dL! (Normal is under 200.) Not surprisingly, his conventional doctor was quick to prescribe a cholesterol-lowering .

Folks, statins are bad news. I’ve always been concerned about their side effects, which include muscle pain and weakness and interference of production ofcoenzyme Q10 levels to name just a few. It just doesn’t make sense to take these drugs—especially when there are safer, more effective natural therapies available. One treatment that has worked extremely well for our patients at the Whitaker Wellness Institute is flaxseed.

Flaxseed Health Benefits

Flaxseed not only helps to lower cholesterol, it can help prevent heart attacks and strokes.

Flaxseed health benefits also include its role as an excellent source of soluble fiber which acts as a natural cholesterol control mechanism. That’s because it binds to bile acids in the intestinal tract and interferes with absorption of cholesterol into the bloodstream. It literally helps to block it from going there.

Flaxseed is also the richest plant source of omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs). These EFAs are vital components of cellular membranes, and they improve blood flow and help prevent blood clots that can cause heart attack and stroke. Omega-3s have also been shown to lower blood cholesterol and triglycerides. It’s likely this combination of soluble fiber and EFAs that makes flaxseed so effective in reducing cholesterol.

Flaxseed Health Benefits Helped Jim

Having read about flaxseed’s health benefits in my newsletter, Health & Healing, Jim decided to give it a try. He started using ¼-cup of freshly ground flaxseed once a day, an hour before his main meal.

The results were remarkable:

  • After 15 days, Jim’s cholesterol fell to 232, and six months later it plummeted to 188.
  • During those six months he also lost 33 pounds.
  • Plus, he noticed remarkable improvements in his energy level, skin, hair and vision, which led him to comment, “I just feel better than I did 10 years ago.”

You can do the same thing to get the health benefits of flaxseed. I suggest incorporating a quarter cup of freshly ground flaxseed into your diet each day. These tiny golden or brown seeds have a rich, nutty flavor and can be sprinkled on yogurt, salads, or other foods.

Because the oils in ground flaxseed can quickly become rancid, I don’t recommend using pre-ground seed or flax oil. Instead, purchase whole flaxseeds and grind them just before consumption. To grind, place whole seeds into a coffee grinder, food processor, or blender and process for about five seconds.
