Our body has many different avenues of detoxification pathways such as elimination via Pooing, our lungs via breath and our skin via sweat, but due to different factors like diet and lifestyle these pathways maybe struggling to do their job.
Why is a bowel movement so important?
Not only is a bowel movement important but it’s super important to have a complete bowel movement every day, this is how we take out what the body doesn’t need; food waste, toxins, hormone by products, if this toxic waste is not removed it’s then reabsorbed back into your system, decaying in the body creating bacterial overgrows, causing leaky gut creating an inflammatory response which then goes on to effect other organs, particularly the weakest organ this could be in the way of acne, eczema, SIBO, IBS, joint pain, asthma and so much more. Inflammation drives so many chronic conditions in the body.
ALL DISEASE BEGINS IN THE GUT……. the wise words of Hippocrates.
We should be talking about poo, everyone does it, when our children are little we are constantly talking about their poo and we would never leave them for 3 or more days without having one and not be worried.
