Ours is a “quick fix” type of society.
I see this when people talk to me about their health issues—they
want to feel better INSTANTLY and impatiently wait for my answer.
And they get deflated when I inform them that there’s no
quick fix—they didn’t get to be this unhealthy overnight, and things can’t magically
turn around overnight either!
If what I’m describing sounds like you, listen up.
Today I will help those of you who are looking to find a
path to better health.
I can’t promise it will work instantly, but I bet you’ll see some significant improvements much
quicker than you think…and they will LAST.
It will take a little effort on your part, but believe me,
that will be quickly overshadowed by your excitement
over how much better you can feel…for LIFE.
Ready?
Here’s what you must do:
TAKE CARE OF YOUR GUT
That’s right.
Here’s why your gut is where it’s at in terms of creating
optimal health:
Your first line of
defense
Your gut is like a sentinel—it’s your primary line of
defense against the outside world. It
lets the good stuff (food and nutrients) IN while keeping the bad stuff
(wastes, toxins, carcinogens, dangerous bacteria and viruses) OUT.
And if your gut is not able to carry out its duties, it’s
not a matter of if but merely when will you suffer the consequences.
If your gut was not able to carry out digestion, you’d start
suffering nutrient deficiencies pretty quickly.
That can mean things like anemia, osteoporosis, muscle
weakness, imbalanced hormones, low energy, brain fog and inflammation.
Plus you may be taunting your immune system with poorly
digested food molecules in your bloodstream and triggering allergies or food
sensitivities.
Immune housing
Most people don’t realize this, but your gut is where most
of your immune system resides.
Although immune cells are found in your lymph nodes,
bloodstream, and virtually all areas of your body, about 70 percent of them
live in your gut.
So it only follows that the health and strength of your
immune system is largely dependent on a healthy, strong gut environment.
Mental health in
“both brains”
There is a series of chemical and electrical signals that
continuously pass back and forth between the central nervous system (your brain) and the gastrointestinal system
(your gut). What affects one directly affects the other.
The brain-gut axis is the reason why you feel butterflies in
your stomach when you're nervous, or get diarrhea when you're worried or
upset.
It's also the reason conditions like anxiety and IBS
(irritable bowel syndrome) frequently occur together.
So if the health of your gut is challenged, in addition to
digestive problems, it can very well trigger anxiety or depression too.
Inflammation and
heart disease
When your gut wall becomes too leaky due to poor digestion,
toxins and disease-causing bacteria have an "open door" to seep into
your bloodstream.
Then an inflammation and disease-causing cycle begins:
- First, your immune system reacts to toxins in your system, seeing them as dangerous invaders. When it detects them, it sends out an SOS to your repair team (cholesterol and white blood cells) to get the inflammation cycle going.
- Toxins can also sail through your bloodstream, become lodged in your tissues and remain there for YEARS, all the while continually igniting an inflammatory response.
- Toxins can also generate oxidative damage to your cells which keeps the inflammation cycle going.
The inflammation can also manifest itself as conditions like
arthritis, migraines, asthma, eczema, psoriasis, low back pain, fibromyalgia
and more.
Take good care of
yours and it will take care of YOU
Hopefully you realize that you MUST take care of your gut if
you ever want any measure of decent health.
The good news is, that’s not hard to do!
All you need to do is use the "4 R’s to a healthier gut"
approach:
- Remove
- Replace
- Reinforce
- Repair
1- Remove
This involves removal
and avoidance of things that can harm your gut including:
- Foods that you are sensitive to
- Cigarette smoke
- Soda
- Excessive alcohol
- Refined carbs-- sugar, flour, white rice and all things made with them
- Antibiotics, oral contraceptives and acid reducers—talk to your doctor about alternatives or see if a healthier diet can help reduce your need for certain drugs (more on that below)
- Regularly lacking sleep
2- Replace
Step 2 is to help reverse an unhealthy gut environment by replacing and repopulating your supply
of beneficial bacteria, and this is done with a probiotic supplement.
Now as far as probiotics go, Super
Shield multi-strain formula is your ticket for helping to restore a healthier
flora balance.
Research studies have shown that it is important to use more
than one strain of probiotic bacteria when tackling dysbiosis (harmful bacteria
overgrowth).
Super Shield’s
13 strains of top-quality probiotic species each has their own “specialty” in
how they help support gut and overall health.
3- Reinforce
Reinforcing a
healthy gut environment means nourishing your friendly bacteria and having more
smooth digestion to help keep your intestinal tract healthy and avoid waste
buildup.
This involves eating foods that nourish your friendly flora
like fresh vegetables, fermented foods and fiber-rich foods, plus keeping ALL
of your meals easier for your system to digest.
The Great Taste No Pain system can guide you on how to construct easy tasty meals that are
easier for your system to digest and help encourage more regular BMs.
Plus the recipe book gives you loads of ideas for preparing
delicious foods that help nourish you AND your intestinal flora!
And if you're gluten sensitive, Great Taste No Gluten is for you instead.
4- Repair
The final step is to help repair any intestinal damage that you may have from harmful
bacteria and medications.
One key nutrient for gut repair is L-glutamine--an amino acid that is available in supplement form in
most health food stores.
In addition, Omega-3 essential fatty acids can help
stabilize irritated intestinal tissue and encourage healing. Fish oil supplements are a convenient way to
get Omega-3 EFAs--and if you're looking for a high quality fish oil formula, VitalMega-3 is here for you!
VitalMega-3 gives your body a healthy daily dose of the
Omega-3 EFAs EPA and DHA that are highly recommended by most experts, in the
ideal 3:2 ratio.
It’s your GOLD
When it comes to helping to create and maintain great health,
your gut is your GOLD—so treat it like the precious gift it is and it will
return the favor many times over.
