Would You Store This?

Do you remember when the sewer in your home backed up? . . . Who can forget!

Do you remember the relief when the plumber cleared the line so the stuff could flow out of your home once again?

A critical function of the human body is the elimination of waste . . .
both liquid and solid. Researchers report that the estimated time between eating a meal and elimination of solid waste is six hours.

That’s right ... six hours. The body can break down a meal, extract the nutrition, completely discard the undigestable wastes before they get a chance to spoil . . . in six hours.

The notion that people are regular when wastes are eliminated at a particular point in time – say once a day – is foolishness – since the act of chewing sends a signal to the bowel to make room for the next batch.

Forcing the body to conform to some cycle of elimination is akin to flushing a public toilet once a day – and – who would do that? The point of this analogy gets sharper when you consider the implication of even longer intervals between elimination.

There are several unfortunate consequences of delayed elimination:

1. The staging area (Colon) fills to its capacity slowing the movement throughout the entire digestive tract.
2. The food that you have eaten starts to spoil:

• carbohydrates begin to ferment
  
• proteins putrify
  
• fats become rancid

3. The spoiling mass of food begins to support “unfriendly” micro organisms whose byproducts affect the integrity of the system and may allow unwanted substances and organisms to spill into the body.
4. The pH of the bowel changes which affects, and sometimes kills, the friendly microbes – further compromising digestion and elimination.
5. Wastes and toxin levels begin to build in the body, compromising your overall body function and well being – even at the cellular level.
