Many people feel confident that they have a healthy lifestyle by eating "healthy" and consuming enough fiber for the proper elimination cycle. Normal transit time for meals is about 12 to 15 hours, yet low amounts of fiber or other eating habits can extend this accumulation of food in the digestive tract for several days; this can lead to buildup. The longer the body is exposed to this buildup, the greater the risk for developing problems.
The human GI tract digests approximately 24,000 pounds of solid food within a lifetime, and by the time the average person reaches the age of thirty, 10 to 20 pounds of compacted material may have developed in our five-foot long colon. This buildup can lead to blockage, or circulate toxins through the body affecting the lymphatic system and vital organs such as the liver. Healthy lymphatic fluid is vital because it serves as nourishment for cells not fed by blood vessels and carries away debris. Toxic substances in the body can overburden the body.
Maintaining the GI tract is an important tool in building strong and healthy elimination systems. Effective intestinal cleansing requires synergistic blends that provide a range of activated fiber, alkalizing minerals, colon-cleansing fibers, superfoods and non-habit-forming botanicals for soothing nourishment of the GI tract. These blends can be found in Swanson Ultra CapraCleanse. Help maintain a healthy digestive system with the balanced, cleansing power of CapraCleanse today. |
