| Before / After Colon Hydrotherapy "The Principles Of Proper Food Combining:" |
|
BEFORE:
NO foods two hours prior to receiving Colon Hydrotherapy. Drink plenty of water!
AFTER:
After receiving Colon Hydrotherapy session's we have experienced, that these suggestions may help:
COMBINE WHEN YOU DINE:
Each meal should include these five things to be a complete meal and for proper digestion. Proper digestion means proper assimilation of foods for conversion into energy: Protein, Carbohydrates, Oils, Liquids-Juices and Vitamins/Minerals.
Food combining is the only sensible, logical way to eat your foods, so that every thing you eat stands the best chance of digesting and allows you to stray from the simple path of nature without suffering. Its purpose is to make digestion easier, less complicated and more efficient. The human body requires the periodic supply of a series of basic substances needed for tissue formation, for obtaining the energy that is needed, for performing its physiological activities, and for regulating metabolism. Such substances, present in different proportions in the foods we eat daily, are the nutrients. FUNCTIONS OF NUTRIENS:
The body uses each type of a nutrient in a different way, but generally, it is considered that as a whole, nutrients have three types of functions.
STRUCTURAL FUNCTION:
They used for construction and regeneration of tissues and organs. Proteins and some minerals are used this way.
ENERGY FUNCTION:
They are used for obtaining the necessary energy for metabolic chemical reactions that constitute the basis for life,
for retaining body heat, for the development of mechanical actions such as muscular contractions, and for many other purposes.
Carbohydrates and fats, and secondly, proteins, are used for this purpose.
REGULATORY FUNCTION:
They are used as elements that modulate metabolic chemical reactions and the activity of various organs. Several minerals and vitamins are used for this purpose.
FOR BEST RESULTS YOU SHOULD
REMEMBER, DON'T OVER EAT
BMI Calculator
Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women.

Water is the main component for human beings and for all living organisms; it is an essential element for life both in terms of quantity and quality.
It is only the largest component of our bodies but also essential, because all the chemical reactions necessary for living occur in an aqueous environment.
Water is inside all cells, in between the cells of the various tissues and in some body compartments, because it is part of blood, the lymph, and organic secretions.
Over half the body mass in humans consists of water, although the percentage decreases throughout life. WATER BALANCE OF THE ADULT BODY:
The body loses water constantly through various ways; through waste, with urine and fecal matter;
through the skin, with sweat, and the lungs, with breathing. The chemical reactions that take place in the body
from the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats produce endogenous water, about 300 ml a day in the adult,
but that amount is not enough to replace what has been lost. Therefore, it is necessary to supply the difference and
that can only be achieved with food. Exogenous water is provided through drinks, made up mainly of water,
and also by food that contains water in smaller or larger proportions.
YOU DIE IF YOU DON’T DRINK WATER:
If water losses are not replenished, dehydration can occur, and, in extreme cases death can occur.
PROTEINS BUILDING MATERIALS:
Proteins are one of the most abundant substances in the body. They are used in building and repairing tissues, and are most important factoring maintaining good health and vitality.
Protein requires an acid medium in which to digest. Therefore, protein foods and starch/carbohydrate foods (which require an alkaline medium for digestion) should be eaten at separate meals.
Fats slow down digestive process, so it better no to combine gats and protein at the same meal. Because simple sugars (fruits, honey, syrups, etc,) are so quickly digested, they should not be eaten with protein, which requires a more complex and prolonged digestive process. The finest sources of high-quality protein will be found in fresh fruits, vegetables, raw nuts and seeds, whole grains, soy products, and legumes. Eggs are one the most complete foods and should not be absent from our diets, because they have maximum quality proteins and also fats, minerals, and vitamins.
CARBOHYDRATES. SOURCE OF ENERGY:
Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for all body functions. They provide us with calories that are readily available to the body for use as energy. Carbohydrates are usually referred to as sugars and starches. We should obtain these from fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and whole grain cereals. Carbohydrate/starch foods require an alkaline medium for proper digestion. Therefore, eat protein foods and carbohydrate/starch foods at separate meals. Because simple sugars are so quickly digested, they should not be eaten with complex carbohydrates, which require a more complex and prolonged digestive process. Fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of minerals and thus should be part of our daily diet.
FAT/OILS CONCENTRATED ENERGY:
Fats are most concentrated source of energy in the diet. They are compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, which are the same elements found in carbohydrates but presenting different combination and proportions. Oils are similar to fats but are usually liquid at room temperature. Fats and oils tend slow down and inhabit digestion, therefore is it best to avoid eaten fats and proteins at the same time. The highest quality sources of fats and oils will be found in fresh fruits (such as avocados and olives), vegetables, raw nuts and seeds, whole grains, and legumes.
FIBER HELPS KEEP IT ALL MOVING.
The standard American diet is low in fiber. Recent nutrition reports in the US show an average dietary fiber consumption of only 10 to 15 grams per day. Do to low fiber diets, Americans are faced with widespread constipation and numerous other health problems.
But do you know how much fiber is enough, or too much, for you? And could you identify the foods richest in fiber?
We need more fiber for better health. A daily fiber consumption of 25 to 35 grams per day is recommended by leading health authorities. The American Dietetic Association recommends 5 to 10 of those grams should be soluble fibers, with insoluble fibers providing the rest.
HOW MUCH DO YOU REALLY KNOW ABOUT FIBER AND YOUR HEALTH? WHAT IS FIBER?
Fiber is the part of food gets through the stomach and small intestine without being digested by enzymes. There are two main types of fiber, and a blend of each is an ideal component of a healthy diet. The two types of fibers are: soluble and insoluble fibers. Soluble fibers are digestible, and broken down by normal bacteria in your intestine. Both can help you maintain regularity and a sense of well-being. Examples of soluble fibers are oats, beans, dried peas, fruits, vegetables and legumes. Psyllium husk is the best single cleansing fiber for everyday use. Examples of insoluble fibers are wheat bran, soy fiber, whole grain products and vegetables, is best known for its ability to provide bulk in the digestive system. It helps to normalize elimination and promote colon health.
