How is Your Digestive Health? Why it is so important!



The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract. This consists of a long tube of organs that runs from the mouth to the anus and includes the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, together with the liver, gall bladder, and pancreas.

So what is digestive health? It’s the ability to break down, absorb and use nutrients and eliminate waste from the food you eat and beverages you drink in a way that optimizes your health and vitality. People who have good digestive health rarely experience constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, or indigestion.

Taking control of your digestive health will help you improve your overall health, well-being, and happiness. The digestive tract is an important part of your immune system. The lining of your digestive tract is your body’s first defense against toxins and infections caused by bacteria, viruses, and parasites.

Most nutrients, vitamins, water, and minerals are absorbed by the small intestine and carried to our cells throughout our bodies. If your digestive tract is unhealthy your body will not be able to absorb all the nutrients it needs to be healthy and function properly. Also are large intestines “the colon” can become congested with stagnant waste. When our colons are toxic and clogged the toxins or poisons can actually back up into our systems causing autointoxication or self-poisoning. All the tissues in our bodies are negatively affected by self poisoning. Think about like this. When your colon gets backed up it spreads toxins or poisons throughout all the tissue in our bodies. A toxic colon can lead to many serious illnesses. It is said that the colon is responsible for 80% of all critical illnesses.

How do we keep our digestive tracts running smoothly and healthy? It starts with a healthy diet. Drinking Herbalife’s Healthy Meal Replacement shakes twice a day and eating at least one healthy meal is a great way to kick start your digestive health. Herbalife’s Healthy meal Shakes contain 20 essential vitamins and minerals plus health enhancing herbs. They also contain 9 grams of soy protein and healthy fiber.  If you choose to drink Herbalife’s Healthy Meal shakes as part of a weight loss plan then additional protein is needed. Consider adding personal protein powder to your shakes. Personal Protein Powder contains a blend of whey and soy protein that helps you maintain lean muscle mass. Also boosting your protein intake will help control hunger. Your body needs enough protein daily for peak performance, healthy weight management, and increased energy.

Another way to Good Digestive Health is Herbalife’s Digestive Health Program which includes the 21 day cleansing program, Flora fiber, and Herbal Aloe drink.

The 21 day cleansing program used every 3 months can help remove health robbing toxins from your system, help prevent self-poisening from a clogged colon.  It can also support better nutrient absorption to promote weight loss and better overall health.

Flora fiber encourages the growth of Good” bacteria called Flora. Healthy Flora assists in healthy elimination of wastes, without the right balance of microorganisms in the digestive tract gas, bloating, and constipation can occur. The Flora helps keep the colon healthy and clean. They also play a role in digestion, elimination and enhance nutrient absorption.

Herbal Aloe Drink supports internal cleansing and digestive health. It also soothes the digestive system. Stress, coffee, cigarette smoke, and poor eating habits can upset the stomach and cause impaired digestion. Herbalife’s Aloe drink brings relief by combining the goodness of aloe with a delicious citrus flavor for a healthy digestive system.

Exercise is also necessary to achieve good digestive health. Keep moving. Get at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. Choose digestive friendly exercises such as swimming, Pilates, or strength training.

Also reducing your stress levels will have a positive effect on your digestive health. When stress gets the better of you it will affect your overall health and well being. Herbalife has a great product to help you control your stress levels. Relax Now contains an herbal combination that helps alleviate anxiety and tension allowing you to function at your best. It is safe and non-addictive unlike prescription drugs that can make you groggy and turn into a bigger issue down the line.

And finally getting adequate sleep will help improve your digestive health.  Millions of people suffer from some form of sleep disorder or simply don’t allow enough time for an adequate night’s sleep because of a busy lifestyle. It’s debatable on exactly how many hours a night you need it really depends on the person. But generally 7 to 9 hours a night. I have suffered from insomnia for many years. I have been on countless prescriptions to help me fall asleep, stay asleep, and get the right kind of sleep. (Yeah I didn’t know there was a wrong sleep and a right sleep either) Anyway it was always the same either they did not work at all, or worked too well and made me groggy all day, or they would work for a while then stop. So when I started on the Herbalife products and found out they had a sleeping aid called Sleep Now I had to try it. It’s recommended that you pair the sleep now with relax now. So that is what I did and I promise you I have been sleeping peacefully through the night ever since. Not getting enough sleep can not only affect your digestive health but your overall health and well being.

So by cleansing your digestive tract 4 times a year with Herbalife’s 21 day cleansing program, eating a healthy diet incorporating Herbalife’s Healthy Meal Shakes, adding flora fiber and aloe drink,  from Herbalife’s Digestive Health Program, along with the right exercise, reducing your stress levels and getting a good night’s sleep, with Relax Now and Sleep Now you can have a healthy smooth running digestive tract, a heightened immune system, get sick less often if at all and greatly improve your overall health and well being.
