DIGESTION. This really is what keeps you moving.
We rely on the digestion process to ensure the maximum levels of nutrients are assimilated into our bodies from the food and drink we consume as fuel. There are several hundred different types of bacteria (weighing up to 2kg) living in our intestines. Some live there permanently while others pass through fulfilling different functions as they go. Still others shouldn't be there. The speed food is processed and the remains passed out of the body as stool is very important. The quicker the process takes place the less time there is for food to putrefy and cause excessive bacterial growth (of the wrong type) and the growth of yeast type fungi in the intestines. The digestive process and elimination of waste should ideally be complete in 24 hours. If there is an imbalance of bacteria and a lack of dietary fibre in the system this transit time can increase to 72 hours and beyond. Do you suffer from the tell-tale signs of a digestive system in distress? Bloating. Wind. Cramps. Constipation. Flatulence. Headaches. Water retention. Weight gain. _______ are all indications that your digestive process is out of balance and not working at its best. Introducing the significant amounts of friendly flora combined with dietary fibre contained in Herbalife's Florafibre will help ease the symptoms of a stressed system.

The micro-organism Lactobacillus Acidophilus contained in florafibre is found naturally in the digestive tract. Should further dietary fibre be required to achieve your recommended 35 grams/day we recommend Herbalife
fibrebond
. The soothing powers of
herbal aloe concentrate
can also be very beneficial if you are suffering any of the distress symptoms listed above. Do you fall ill frequently and recover slowly? This could be due to a build-up of bad bacteria in your digestive system. If we don't eat the right types of food and if fluids are not plentiful, harmful bacteria can thrive and the
immune system
suffer so that our resistance to infection is reduced.
