Cleanse your bowel with gut saving soups that revitalize the gut flora.
The bowel is a very important organ & cleansing it is of vital importance because it has a fundamental role to immune system.
The main function of the bowel is to absorb water & nutrients, while the microflora take care of fermenting the fibres assumed through food. This fermentation produces various acids such as; Lactic acid, short chain fatty acids like acetic acid, propionic acid & butyric acid. Questa fermentazione produce vari acidi tra cui acido lattico, acidi grassi a catena corta come acetico, propionico,butirrico. The butyric acid nourishes the cells in the Colon, improves mineral absorption & influences positively the digestion of fat & glucose in our liver. The bowel has also another function that is the immune function, producing 60-70% of the immune cells of our organism & identifying the harmful substances & bacteria amongst those that are not harmful, an incredible capability to say the least. If this capability had not to function correctly it could cause an outburst of chronic dieseasea and allergies. Infact if the bowel is overloaded with toxins & waste due to a bad diet, stress, constipation or other, it will not be able to guarantee a correct functioning. At this point we should have understood the importance of this organ & how important it is to keep it clean & purified, all we need to do is choose 1 day per week when to take care of this amazing organ and purify it from all the waste & toxins. One of the best solutions is to dedicate a whole day to purification, by eating specific foods for lunch & dinner, in particular SOUPS full of purifying properties.
