Intestinal health is of vital importance for your physical well-being.

What are intestines?
Food we eat undergoes digestion by passing through the stomach, into small intestines, through the large intestines and then eliminated from the body. Nutrients that our body needs for energy are extracted during this process.

If you are under stress or if your diet in not well balanced, the intestines may become tense and will not function efficiently. When this happens the entire body is affected.

What may happen if intestines are tense? What disease may it cause?

When your intestines are tense and tight, they cannot efficiently digest food and pass all the digested waste out of the body. Constipation is often a consequence. Bacteria, which is always present at normal levels in healthy intestines, may grow to high levels and remain too long in the intestinal tract. If the large intestines are weakened enough the bacteria may penetrate the intestinal walls and enter the abdominal cavity causing infection.
If the intestines are tense and waste cannot flow properly, the toxic by-products may build up in the system and flow into the blood stream. When this happens all organs can be affected.
The liver will need to work harder to clean itself of these harmful toxins. The heart and other organs may be affected by the toxic by-products circulating in the body.
