Why Burdens in the Gut Reduce Your Well-Being
Around 1 tonne per year
Our digestive tract processes around one tonne of food per year. Everything we take in has to be processed by the body – including potentially burdening substances from the environment and food.
When the gut is burdened with pollutants from food, the environment or metabolism, well-being can suffer. Frequently mentioned complaints are a gradual drop in performance, fatigue, listlessness, difficulty concentrating or increased susceptibility to infections.
What the Body Does Itself
The body has efficient detoxification systems – liver, kidneys, gut and skin. However, a modern lifestyle can create additional burdens. This is why many people turn to supportive strategies such as mindful nutrition, exercise, relaxation – and time-limited detox cures.
Detox, Diet & Lifestyle: What Really Helps
In principle, the body cleanses itself and excretes unwanted substances via the liver, kidneys, gut and skin. Advocates of detox believe that we are exposed to so many substances today that additional support can make sense. Regularly performed detox cures can help relieve the skin, lymphatic system as well as the gut and internal organs – in addition to a healthy lifestyle.
"A healthy, relieved gut is an important foundation for a strong immune system."
Gut Barrier, Microbiome & Leaky Gut
Physical and psychological burdens and environmental factors influence gut health. Not only the microbiome, but also the intestinal wall as a protective barrier can lose function under unfavourable influences. If the intestinal wall becomes permeable, unwanted substances can more easily enter the body and burden the immune system and other organ systems.
If your gut flora works optimally, nutrients are efficiently processed and made available to the body. If it gets out of balance, even a good diet can be less effective – fatigue and listlessness are possible consequences.
Volcanic Mineral PMA-Zeolite: Support for the Gut
A high-quality natural mineral can strengthen the intestinal wall and support the relief of the gut: PMA-Zeolite – a volcanic mineral from the zeolite family.
How PMA-Zeolite Can Support
- Binding capacity in the gastrointestinal tract: can bind certain heavy metals (e.g. lead, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, nickel) as well as ammonium and eliminate them via the stool – as a contribution to relieving the gut.
- Barrier & microbiome: a relieved gut environment can favour the barrier function and the balance of the gut flora.
- Practical integration: fits particularly well as a building block in a detox cure with BASIC DETOX.
"Only a healthy gut with an intact intestinal wall can absorb nutrients optimally and better protect against burdens."
Important
Dietary supplements and minerals do not replace a medical diagnosis or therapy. Follow the application instructions and seek medical advice if you have existing conditions.
The Fasting Season as an Opportunity – and Everyday Alternatives
The fasting season is ideal for giving the digestive system a break, relieving it and strengthening it at the same time. Independently of that, you can easily integrate a detox cure into your everyday life – from light fasting days to targeted nutrient intake and stress reduction.
Please note
Fasting is not suitable for everyone. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have pre-existing conditions or take medication, please talk to your doctor beforehand.
Detox Tips from the Inside
- Provide yourself with nutrient-rich foods – the greener, the better (bitter compounds & secondary plant substances).
- Buy organic, regional & seasonal where possible.
- Cook for yourself as often as possible and avoid highly processed products.
- Support your gut alongside this – for example with BASIC DETOX.
- Drink enough – for example still water or lemon-ginger water.
Detox Tips from the Outside
- Move outdoors every day. Long & easy (moderate pulse) supports deacidification and relief.
- Treat yourself to a wellness break 1–2 times a week with an alkaline full bath, such as the CARE Zeolite Bath. Foot baths are also possible.
- Choose natural cosmetics to reduce potentially burdening substances – for example the CARE Zeolite Gold Cream.
- Digital detox: start the day 5 minutes without your phone – breathe consciously, roll your shoulders, arrive.
