BifidoBacteria - Good Gut Bacteria = Healthy Immune system

Bifido Bacteria - SAY WHAT???

That is the "good" gut  bacteria.  Bifido Bacteria.  Do you want them in your GUT / intestinal track?  ABSOLUTELY. 

Here is an analogy:  Do you love a barefoot lawn?  I do...  I love to lay on it, walk barefoot on it, play bocce ball on it, lay on my back on it and look at the stars at night, catch some Vitamin D while laying on it...  And I like to look at it and enjoy the beauty of it. 

I describe a barefoot lawn as all one type of grass, no weeds, no annual blue grass, cut and manicured and watered.  It is so soft and fun and beautiful and most of all cared for.

A lawn that is not cared for, becomes dry, and weed filled and is no longer beautiful.

Consider that lawn as your gut, your intestinal track.  When you don't care for it, don't water it, don't tend it, it will become sick and full of bad stuff.  This is where Bifido Bacteria come in...

Bifido Bacteria - when in your gut, will cover the walls of your intestines, not allowing the bad bacteria, ie the weeds, to fill those spots.  Which in turn, will fend off illness and disease.

Here are 7 reasons that Bifidobacteria are vital to your health

1 - Their by product stop the grown of harmful, toxic bacteria in your intestinal track.
2 - They take up the space, or fill the space, like I mentioned in the analogy, that a pathogentic organism could fill.  Bifido Bacteria crowd out these organisms.

3 - They lower blood ammonia levels by slowing the production of those toxins.

4 - They produce Folic Acid and Vitamin B.

5 - They produce digestive enzymes.

6 - This is one I LOVE - They promote immune attack against cancer cells, and stimulate the immune system.

7 - They increase essential minerals magnesium and calcium absorption.  Which help reduce the possibility of high blood pressure and diabetes.  As we age these tend to decline in our body, so helping them increase just by the increase of Bifidobacteria in your gut is a very positive move to your WalkToHealth.me journey. 

Increased refine sugars kill bifidobacteria in the gut and feed the parasitical yeast, fungi, and bacteria that contribute to disease. 

The question to ask yourself.  Is your lawn (gut) a beautiful, healthy one, working to make you healthy inside and out?  Or is your lawn (gut) a brown, ugly, toxin-producing one, with no way to fight off illness and disease? 

Step one in your journey to increasing the health in your gut...  Add Kombucha to your diet.  Watch my 2 part video on how to make your own Kombucha.  It is a great source for a probiotic.

Reflexology and digestive issues

Do you find that your intestinal track is not functioning the way you think it should be?

At the age of 16 I would never have thought I would be writing about the function of intestinal tracks.  Interestingly that is why and when my Reflexology journey began.

My parents were going over to a neighbors house one night and my dad asked me if I wanted to go and have a treatment by a Reflexologist.  First, I didn't know what that was, and second I had homework to get done.  He assured me that I would get to go first because I would be the only child, all the others were adults.  So I said sure.

As I sat there with my feet in the hands of a large man, the adults all over at the dinning room table... he said, with a big deep loud voice to the very modest 16 year old me... "So...  I see you have a problem with constipation"...   If I could have melted in the chair I would have, I was so embarrassed.  But then I thought to myself; 'How on earth did HE KNOW THAT by just working on my feet????'

That was an issue I had dealt with for years.  It was something that was mentioned to Drs. from time to time as I would have MAYBE 2 movements a WEEK!!  And the Drs. would say, 'Oh that's okay'.  Looking back I don't think they believed me.  Now as a Holistic Health Practitioner, I KNOW it is NOT okay!  Two movements should be minimum per DAY!

So to finish my story about my first Reflexology treatment....  after I recovered from being so embarrassed, I got done with my appointment, I got my shoes on and excused myself as that was the agreement because I had homework, but even more than that, I was in need of a bathroom because he had done something that moved things along.  Our house was only a half a block away and it was a good thing it wasn't further, I barely got in the house to the facilities... if you know what I mean.  HOW did he do that?  How did he know by just touching my feet?

That very night was what gave me the drive to start studying  Reflexology.

Intestinal issues are huge.  If we don't eliminate our waste properly, toxins can enter our system and cause all kinds of issues in our bodies.

If you are dealing with movement issues or other intestinal issues I can help you via Reflexology or with a Holistic Health Consultation (via phone or skype - location is not an issue).  Schedule your Reflexology appointment or Holistic Health Appointment today.
