DO YOU HAVE LEAKY GUT SYNDROME??

DO YOU HAVE LEAKY GUT SYNDROME??

Ever heard of the term “Leaky Gut”?  It has been receiving a lot of attention lately but what actually is it and what’s the hype?

Leaky Gut plays a significant role in not only gastrointestinal related conditions such as Coeliac disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Inflammatory Bowel Disease, but it has also been linked to a range of other conditions including arthritis, allergies, autism, asthma, diabetes, mental illness as well as a host of autoimmune diseases.

Leaky gut syndrome happens when your intestinal lining has become damaged as a result of inflammation or irritation.  Drugs, alcohol, gluten and processed foods can damage the lining of the gut wall.  Leaky gut can also result from internal toxicity due to an imbalance of bacteria and yeast, which we call “dysbiosis.”

When this happens, the lining of the gut becomes full of tiny holes, like swiss cheese, or a leaky bucket.  In many places, the lining of the gut is just one cell thick, so leaky gut or “intestinal permeability” can easily happen.

This is a problem because food particles and toxins from the gut are released into the bloodstream, triggering an immune response.  A huge toxic burden is imposed on the liver.  The liver is overwhelmed by digestive by-products, toxins and inflammatory irritants, and other organs are affected as well.

If you have been dealing with a ton of food sensitivities, and seem to be getting more sensitive to more foods all the time, it could be leaky gut.  Instead of doing extensive allergy testing, we would recommend healing the gut, and sealing up those leaks. The food is not the main problem:  the problem is that the food you eat is escaping into the bloodstream and triggering an immune response.

WHY CHOOSE ALOE?

WHY CHOOSE ALOE?

Have you ever been so impressed with something that you couldn’t wait to share it with someone??  Well, that’s me right now!! The past few months I have been on this mission to find something that gives natural benefits as apposed to the usual ‘bodybuilding/weight loss’ supplements that I have been using since I started my whole health and fitness journey.  My searching has led me back to this amazing plant!!

For thousands of years, people have been using Aloe vera leaves for healing and softening of skin.  In fact, Aloe has been the “go to” treatment for many things such as constipation and skin disorders.  This was one of many reasons why I took it upon myself to look into it. 

Drinking Aloe juice has many benefits that helps with the body’s every day functions and provides you with tons of benefits.  However, to get the benefits of Aloe juice, the Aloe leaves need to go through a whole process to make sure that it lives up to standard.

Aloe vera juice is made by crushing or grinding the entire leaf of the aloe vera plant, followed by various steps to purify and filter the liquid. With a mild, tolerable flavour, the juice mixes easily into smoothies and shakes. This makes aloe vera juice a practical whole food supplement.

Finally, aloe vera promotes a healthy gut environment by supporting the probiotic colonies that live there. Probiotics are living organisms and require nutrients called prebiotics. Aloe is a great source of prebiotics that feed good gut bacteria.

After being fortunate enough to use these aloe products, including the Forever Aloe Vera Gel drink which I take in the morning before breakfast daily,  for a few weeks now, I can honestly say that it is the best decision I have made and it is definitely something I am investing in for ME.
