Hey there, sunshine.
00:00:01.602 --> 00:00:05.410
When you want to feel better, the truth is your gut health.
00:00:05.410 --> 00:00:06.793
It really matters.
00:00:06.793 --> 00:00:08.743
This is super important.
00:00:08.743 --> 00:00:16.728
So today we're talking about what are prebiotics, why do they matter and what is the best way to get them for optimal health.
00:00:16.728 --> 00:00:17.731
Let's go.
00:00:17.731 --> 00:00:22.070
Hey sister, welcome to the power on plants podcast.
00:00:22.070 --> 00:00:27.431
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?
00:00:27.431 --> 00:00:32.822
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?
00:00:32.822 --> 00:00:39.093
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?
00:00:39.093 --> 00:00:46.750
Hi, we're shared in an eatery cell Christ followers, healthcare professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.
00:00:46.750 --> 00:00:58.984
We, too, tried exercising more, eating natural and clean foods, but we still found ourselves struggling with what we thought were changes that come with age or bad genes, and we weren't finding answers to traditional routes.
00:00:58.984 --> 00:01:06.210
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant based living.
00:01:06.210 --> 00:01:09.989
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.
00:01:09.989 --> 00:01:11.582
You just need the way.
00:01:11.582 --> 00:01:23.409
That's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived If you're ready to enjoy your meals, no longer be held back by your health struggles and actively live your life, then you're in the right place.
00:01:23.409 --> 00:01:28.670
So grab your favorite plant based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:31.561
I don't know about you.
00:01:31.561 --> 00:01:38.361
I don't know where you are right now, but as for Anita and I, it is cold down here, so cold Florida.
00:01:38.361 --> 00:01:47.579
It does get cold, especially over in the panhandle, and I joked with somebody not too long ago that it's summer in Florida, but we're just having cold summer right now.
00:01:48.304 --> 00:01:50.112
Now, if you're up north, please don't hate us.
00:01:50.334 --> 00:01:50.998
Don't hate us.
00:01:51.138 --> 00:01:53.224
yes, I mean we're talking 40 degrees.
00:01:53.224 --> 00:01:53.927
We're in the 40s.
00:01:53.947 --> 00:01:57.548
That's freezing bad 70s a bit chilly.
00:01:57.548 --> 00:01:57.769
Now.
00:01:57.769 --> 00:01:59.507
You just get adjusted to the heat.
00:01:59.507 --> 00:02:05.450
Even though it's cold and you may not feel like going outside, you still have the opportunity for community.
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.347
So that's true, that is so true.
00:02:08.407 --> 00:02:08.748
Yes.
00:02:08.748 --> 00:02:13.890
So if you have not joined us in our podcast Insiders Experience, please do so.
00:02:13.890 --> 00:02:16.366
We love all the people coming in.
00:02:16.366 --> 00:02:19.969
It's been just such a wonderful experience and the only thing it's missing is you.
00:02:19.969 --> 00:02:21.887
We need you to join us.
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.587
And being a part of pie is going to warm your heart.
00:02:25.587 --> 00:02:26.389
See what I did there.
00:02:26.389 --> 00:02:27.312
See what I did there.
00:02:27.312 --> 00:02:36.633
I really mean that we have I'll turn to Jared the other day and I said we have the best group of people.
00:02:36.633 --> 00:02:39.087
I mean the best plant based group that I know of.
00:02:39.087 --> 00:02:45.945
I've been a part of a lot of them and it's like you can come in here and share a life and you don't have to be on social media.
00:02:45.945 --> 00:02:49.806
By the way, if you don't like social media, you've totally found your fan.
00:02:49.806 --> 00:02:53.927
We don't either we don't love social media, and if you do love it, that's okay too.
00:02:53.927 --> 00:02:55.425
We're not going to judge you.
00:02:55.425 --> 00:02:57.586
You just probably won't be with us there.
00:02:57.586 --> 00:03:02.110
So we really are all about getting you results in social media.
00:03:02.110 --> 00:03:03.605
It can be so distracting.
00:03:03.605 --> 00:03:07.979
It can so easily pull you away from what's really important in your life.
00:03:07.979 --> 00:03:11.068
I think our enemy uses social media to distract us.
00:03:11.068 --> 00:03:14.186
Along with many other things, it's one of its primary tactics.
00:03:14.186 --> 00:03:26.743
When you're in a group like this and you can stay inspired and encouraged and gain the ideas that you need, you are going to go farther and so much faster too, and that's what we're here for.
00:03:27.265 --> 00:03:29.706
Okay, you're probably asking I want to be a part of this.
00:03:29.706 --> 00:03:30.783
How do I do it?
00:03:30.783 --> 00:03:33.453
Go to poweronplantscom P-I-E.
00:03:33.453 --> 00:03:34.519
That's slash.
00:03:34.519 --> 00:03:40.164
That's poweronplantscom slash pi Podcast Insiders Experience.
00:03:40.366 --> 00:03:44.270
Yes, poweronplantscom forward, slash P-I-E and we will see you there.
00:03:44.270 --> 00:03:45.885
We can't wait to get to know you more.
00:03:45.885 --> 00:03:55.050
And today we are talking about what are prebiotics, why do they matter and what is the best way to get them into your life for optimal help?
00:03:55.050 --> 00:03:58.409
If you've known us for long, you know we're all about making things simple.
00:03:58.409 --> 00:04:09.223
So this is the Making Prebiotics Simple episode, and we want to start out by making sure that you know that your gut is inhabited by trillions of bacteria Trillions.
00:04:09.223 --> 00:04:12.169
You might have heard them referred to as your gut microbiome.
00:04:12.169 --> 00:04:23.944
Some of these bacteria are good and some can be harmful to your body, and your health is determined in large part by the ratio of these bacteria that are found in your gut.
00:04:23.944 --> 00:04:26.848
So everyone's gut microbiome is different.
00:04:26.848 --> 00:04:33.983
It's made up of different ratio of these bacteria good versus bad, beneficial versus harmful.
00:04:33.983 --> 00:04:45.629
So the goal here is for the good gut guys we call these the beneficial gut bacteria to thrive, and the other goal is to starve the bad guys.
00:04:45.629 --> 00:04:52.807
This shows that the composition of your gut bacteria is greatly affected by what is on your fork and goes into your mouth.
00:04:52.807 --> 00:04:55.959
So your diet matters a lot here.
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:59.069
Now I'm not talking about dieting when I say diet.
00:04:59.069 --> 00:05:00.975
We mean what you're eating.
00:05:00.975 --> 00:05:02.401
Yes, the way you're eating.
00:05:02.401 --> 00:05:07.021
What you eat travels directly through your digestive tract.
00:05:07.021 --> 00:05:09.930
So the question is what do the good gut bacteria eat?
00:05:09.930 --> 00:05:11.194
What do they thrive on?
00:05:11.194 --> 00:05:12.077
What's their food?
00:05:12.077 --> 00:05:14.596
Their food is fiber.
00:05:14.596 --> 00:05:18.026
Have you heard of prebiotics before this episode?
00:05:18.026 --> 00:05:19.269
Have you heard of prebiotics?
00:05:19.269 --> 00:05:21.797
Well, that's what fiber is.
00:05:21.797 --> 00:05:24.023
Fiber is a prebiotic.
00:05:24.023 --> 00:05:32.923
Prebiotics are not Digested by the body, but instead they act as food for the beneficial bacteria in your gut.
00:05:32.923 --> 00:05:42.137
Your good gut bacteria feast on these prebiotics, this fiber, and then, as a result, they make short chain fatty acids.
00:05:42.137 --> 00:05:45.910
You might have seen them written as SCFAs short chain fatty acids.
00:05:45.910 --> 00:05:50.742
Now, what are short chain fatty acids that are being made by these good gut bacteria?
00:05:50.742 --> 00:06:02.317
They can be used by our intestinal cells for energy, but, even more importantly, they have anti inflammatory and anti-cancer effects.
00:06:02.317 --> 00:06:14.975
Now, when you're talking about fighting inflammation, this is going to affect so much of how you feel and what you're able to accomplish in life, because you know how you feel when you're inflamed You're hurting, things aren't working right.
00:06:14.975 --> 00:06:21.413
Inflammation that's chronic, that goes on and on day after day can cause many different Diseases.
00:06:21.413 --> 00:06:29.822
So when you have the good gut bacteria, they're eating these prebiotics, this fiber, on a regular basis, that you're feeding them through the food you eat.
00:06:30.271 --> 00:06:57.963
They are, in turn, making for you these anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer short chain fatty acids and this has ramifications not just for your gut, which it does help there because it helps to reduce inflammation, which allows your body to heal that one cell layer thick lining in your intestines that helps to separate the food from your body, because what we don't want are food molecules that are too big to be absorbed.
00:06:57.963 --> 00:07:03.982
Then the body sees it as something foreign and then may create an allergic response or at least an inflammatory type response.
00:07:03.982 --> 00:07:10.689
But those are absorbed into the bloodstream, travel all around the body and even can impact your brain.
00:07:10.689 --> 00:07:13.524
It can help to lower inflammation and the brain.
00:07:13.584 --> 00:07:14.509
So it really?
00:07:14.509 --> 00:07:15.773
What are you talking about there?
00:07:15.773 --> 00:07:18.098
Are you talking about the short chain fatty acids?
00:07:18.098 --> 00:07:21.149
Short chain fatty acid yeah okay, that makes perfect sense to me.
00:07:21.149 --> 00:07:31.189
So when that happens and that affects your body in a positive way because they can then be, absorbed by your body and travel Around, and they're affecting different areas, not only your digestive tract.
00:07:31.790 --> 00:07:33.656
Right and a common one is called butyrate.
00:07:33.656 --> 00:07:36.862
So if you've ever heard of butyrate, that is a short chain fatty acid.
00:07:37.331 --> 00:07:43.764
Well, here's something that's very important for you to remember when your goal is having a body that feels good.
00:07:43.764 --> 00:07:49.192
Animal products do not contain any prebiotics.
00:07:49.911 --> 00:07:56.810
Okay, no fiber at all and a muscle fiber, which is simply a term for a muscle cell.
00:07:56.810 --> 00:08:06.401
They call it fiber because they're very, very long cells, but that is absolutely not the same thing as Fiber found in plants that is not a prebiotic.
00:08:06.663 --> 00:08:08.290
Just think about that for a moment.
00:08:08.290 --> 00:08:15.850
I want you to wrap your mind around what you just learned about prebiotics, how they use their food for your good gut bacteria.
00:08:15.850 --> 00:08:30.105
And if you're not eating the foods that contain them, or you're eating a lot of the foods that don't, you're fueling the poor gut bacteria because the good gut bacteria are not thriving and the bad ones can get out of control.
00:08:30.105 --> 00:08:36.293
So remember, animal products contain no prebiotics, no fiber at all.
00:08:36.293 --> 00:08:48.289
And the second most important thing to remember here is that plants are Filled with prebiotics, they are full of fiber and that's going to feed your good gut bacteria.
00:08:48.289 --> 00:08:50.177
It's what they're down there crying out for right now.
00:08:50.177 --> 00:08:52.970
I need food, feed me fiber.
00:08:52.970 --> 00:08:55.376
I need my prebiotics because that's what they eat.
00:08:55.376 --> 00:08:58.033
Now, of course, they don't have lingo, they don't know what they're called.
00:08:58.033 --> 00:09:03.618
These are names We've given these things right, but we know that's what they're fueled on.
00:09:03.618 --> 00:09:22.261
And so if we want to have our good gut bacteria flourish so we don't have high inflammation, so we reduce our risk of cancer, so we, our body, can be making the short chain fatty acids that travel all over our body and they help to find inflammation and fight disease, then we want to be eating the foods that are filled with prebiotics.
00:09:22.623 --> 00:09:26.417
Now you might be asking okay, you've got me convinced, I want to eat more prebiotics.
00:09:26.417 --> 00:09:28.302
What's the best one that I can get?
00:09:28.302 --> 00:09:31.169
Well, really, there is not just a best one.
00:09:31.169 --> 00:09:39.528
I mean, what they know in the research is that there are a lot of them and that different bacteria feed on different ones.
00:09:39.528 --> 00:09:59.936
So if you were to try to isolate it to one specific one, like a popular one, it's called Inulin Now it looks like the word insulin without the S, but it is called Inulin and certain foods like vegetables, asparagus our favorites garlic, onion leeks these are good sources of Inulin.
00:09:59.936 --> 00:10:05.120
If you were to go out and buy it in a commercially available form, we would get a supplement.
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:08.600
Yes, you're getting just that one and certain one.
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:15.100
Certain bacteria in our guts may love that, but then others may not and you're going to get an imbalance and that's not good.
00:10:15.809 --> 00:10:16.393
It can be dangerous.
00:10:16.393 --> 00:10:26.730
Not only to do that, to buy one off things like that and it could be a waste of your money because you're buying these expensive prebiotic supplements and you're not getting as many as you could get if you spent that money on food.
00:10:26.730 --> 00:10:32.214
I mean, I think about all the great food you could buy, what you could be getting and everything else.
00:10:32.214 --> 00:10:33.557
They're packaged with right.
00:10:33.557 --> 00:10:36.158
God made these things in packaged.
00:10:36.158 --> 00:10:44.299
He didn't make them to be eaten one by one, like I've got this amount of this prebiotic on my plate and this amount of this prebiotic on my plate.
00:10:44.299 --> 00:10:45.722
It's not that complicated.
00:10:45.722 --> 00:10:47.857
God's ways just are not that complicated.
00:10:48.009 --> 00:10:49.416
But then you're not getting all the other stuff.
00:10:49.416 --> 00:10:50.812
So like with garlic and onion.
00:10:50.812 --> 00:10:54.182
We've talked a lot about all the different health benefits that go with it.
00:10:54.182 --> 00:11:02.740
So if you're stripping just that one prebiotic off of it, then you're missing all the multiple benefits, whereas you can just cook with the whole foods.
00:11:02.740 --> 00:11:12.289
But to this point there are even prebiotics that in the research they have acknowledged that there are some that are there.
00:11:12.289 --> 00:11:14.155
They just still don't know what they are yet.
00:11:14.155 --> 00:11:17.984
So we've got ones that we know without a doubt are prebiotics.
00:11:17.984 --> 00:11:24.761
But there are probably others in food that certain bacteria may use that we just haven't been able to isolate or identify.
00:11:24.761 --> 00:11:28.740
So the takeaway message is just get a good variety of plants.
00:11:28.740 --> 00:11:31.538
Another popular prebiotic would be pectin.
00:11:31.538 --> 00:11:35.539
I mean pectins that have been stripped out and used for jellies.
00:11:35.539 --> 00:11:37.956
Well, why don't you get them in their food?
00:11:37.956 --> 00:11:45.864
You can find them easily in things like apples, apricots, green beans, raspberries, potatoes, tomatoes.
00:11:45.864 --> 00:11:50.701
Again, just eat these foods and you're naturally getting them anyway.
00:11:51.330 --> 00:11:56.861
If plant foods are filled with these amazing prebiotics which feed your good gut bacteria.
00:11:56.861 --> 00:12:05.178
Again, like Jared was saying, many of us have our brain go to this point where we say, well then, which plant foods should I be eating?
00:12:05.178 --> 00:12:12.041
And Jared's named off several different by name and I'm sitting over here going oh, we probably shouldn't even name any, because I know what happens.
00:12:12.041 --> 00:12:20.758
Then you're making a list of all those different things and you want to have that list of specific foods for the next time you go shopping so you can buy just those foods and start eating those.
00:12:20.758 --> 00:12:23.958
But that is not going to be to your benefit here.
00:12:23.958 --> 00:12:31.216
So we could give you a full list of specific foods which contain prebiotic that you should start fretting over eating today.
00:12:31.216 --> 00:12:40.437
But we want to make this super simple for you so you can stop worrying so much about this specific food or that specific food.
00:12:40.437 --> 00:13:00.879
When you start worrying so much over one specific food or another to get one specific nutrient you're after, you can easily get sidetracked, miss out on other important nutrients that actually increase its use or absorption or conversion, and even start eating too much of that one thing to the detriment of others.
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:08.659
So here's the easy way to be sure that you're getting the prebiotics that your good gut bacteria require so that you can thrive.
00:13:08.659 --> 00:13:14.241
And that is eating a lot of the five power foods.
00:13:15.009 --> 00:13:16.052
Even to what you just said.
00:13:16.052 --> 00:13:18.078
I gave a list of the different foods.
00:13:18.078 --> 00:13:23.020
It should have sounded a lot like what's already in your fridge and your pantry.
00:13:23.330 --> 00:13:24.393
Let's just say that's true.
00:13:24.393 --> 00:13:31.100
If you've been listening to us for any amount of time we have over 260 episodes now and growing.
00:13:31.100 --> 00:13:37.538
You may be listening to this a couple of years down the road and there are way more than that and we give actionable steps every time.
00:13:37.538 --> 00:13:59.005
So if you're finding your new favorites and you got one and then another and another and you're buying the ingredients for those and you're using those ingredients over and over again and then you're adding a new one that you love and you've got another thing that you love and there's all these wonderful things to eat in your fridge and pantry and freezer, it's like Jared's saying those things are already there for you to enjoy.
00:13:59.029 --> 00:14:00.195
You already have them.
00:14:00.195 --> 00:14:03.399
These are not special, different foods that you have to go out and get.
00:14:03.710 --> 00:14:06.038
No, and that is why we love eating this way.
00:14:06.038 --> 00:14:09.359
It is so very freeing and it can be so simple.
00:14:09.359 --> 00:14:21.436
But we do believe it is super important for you to understand the why behind it, the science behind it, so you can be freed from all the lies that you believe, from our enemy, the things he uses to keep us distracted.
00:14:21.436 --> 00:14:26.214
So, right here, you just want to get more of the five power foods.
00:14:26.214 --> 00:14:26.731
What are they?
00:14:26.731 --> 00:14:32.086
Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds and legumes.
00:14:32.086 --> 00:14:32.346
Why?
00:14:32.346 --> 00:14:37.918
Because all of them yes, even fruit, even a banana, has fiber.
00:14:37.918 --> 00:14:42.302
There are a couple of different types of fiber, but you need to get all of these.
00:14:42.302 --> 00:14:44.964
Don't worry about is it soluble, is it insoluble?
00:14:44.964 --> 00:14:48.259
Just get the fiber, get the nutrients, get these things that you want.
00:14:48.259 --> 00:14:59.440
So we know now, we've reviewed for those of you who've been here for a while and we've talked about for the first time if you're just joining us for the first time what are the five power foods.
00:14:59.440 --> 00:14:59.640
Why?
00:14:59.640 --> 00:15:09.562
Because these are the whole plant foods fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds, and legumes and within each of those categories, there are many foods for you to enjoy.
00:15:09.562 --> 00:15:10.837
This is not limiting.
00:15:10.837 --> 00:15:16.259
This is gonna be the easiest way you've ever eaten when you learn how to make it quick, simple and delicious.
00:15:16.259 --> 00:15:22.177
So the foods that you would think don't even contain much fiber, like fruit that we just talked about, contain more than you would think.
00:15:22.177 --> 00:15:24.980
It is there, and fiber is healing.
00:15:24.980 --> 00:15:26.224
Say that with me.
00:15:26.224 --> 00:15:28.740
Fiber is healing.
00:15:28.740 --> 00:15:34.322
Listen, there are so many of us that have spent our lives constipated.
00:15:34.322 --> 00:15:35.466
Yes, I'm going there.
00:15:35.466 --> 00:15:36.216
I'm going there.
00:15:36.216 --> 00:15:42.562
This is super important because there's so many people that will not talk to you about this and it causes a whole host of problems.
00:15:42.914 --> 00:15:45.663
Well, this is just a natural process of digestion.
00:15:46.355 --> 00:15:49.321
Seriously, it's real life and we're all about real around here.
00:15:49.321 --> 00:16:01.759
This affects more than you realize If you do not have a healthy gut, and you cannot have a healthy gut if stuff is sitting there rotting in your system for days and possibly even a week or more.
00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:03.764
That's not normal.
00:16:03.764 --> 00:16:10.402
So you've got the nasty products that your body's trying to get rid of, trying to flow through and it can't move because there's no fiber.
00:16:10.402 --> 00:16:23.278
And now your bad gut bacteria are thriving and your good ones can't because they don't have the fiber, and so things move slow because all you're eating is animal products and dairy or that's the majority of what you eat, with your little side of vegetables that makes you feel good.
00:16:23.278 --> 00:16:24.263
Oh, I got vegetables.
00:16:24.263 --> 00:16:28.139
You know how I eat my broccoli about two times a week and I ate a little sparrigus here and there.
00:16:28.139 --> 00:16:33.761
Yeah, you need to be filling your plate with those things every day, and I'm not saying this to make you feel bad.
00:16:33.761 --> 00:16:35.662
This is no condemnation zone.
00:16:35.662 --> 00:16:44.743
Just look at getting more today than you did yesterday and finding the way to do that that you actually enjoy, not doing it just because you feel like you need to.
00:16:44.743 --> 00:16:49.320
You've got to get them in a way you actually enjoy because it works with your real life.
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:51.802
It's quick, it's simple, it's delicious.
00:16:51.802 --> 00:16:55.220
I'm gonna say it over and over again but that's the method, that's it.
00:16:55.341 --> 00:16:56.124
This is our passion.
00:16:56.124 --> 00:16:58.001
This is actually what brings healing.
00:16:58.001 --> 00:17:05.227
So we keep saying it over and over again, because we know that new people may listen to this, but also, too, sometimes we need repetition.
00:17:05.789 --> 00:17:06.494
I always need repetition.
00:17:06.535 --> 00:17:10.823
Sometimes we need to hear it multiple times so that it can become incorporated into us.
00:17:10.823 --> 00:17:11.699
We can believe it.
00:17:11.699 --> 00:17:13.961
It just becomes part of our mindset.
00:17:13.961 --> 00:17:15.359
It's your new habit.
00:17:15.835 --> 00:17:18.203
It's like it redefines your character.
00:17:18.203 --> 00:17:19.961
It redefines the way you think.
00:17:19.961 --> 00:17:26.903
Once you have these things that you say, it's like we were talking about on the episode a couple back and we were talking it's such a good episode.
00:17:26.903 --> 00:17:33.682
We were talking about how many times you say that something is good, a food is good, oh, I love that meal, it's so good.
00:17:33.682 --> 00:17:38.838
But is it good for you If it causes you to be sick, if it causes the health struggles that are keeping you stuck?
00:17:38.838 --> 00:17:48.625
Is it good we say all these different things we talked about on that podcast that trip us up, that are not for our good or that are just not true?
00:17:48.625 --> 00:17:52.701
And so we wanna make sure we're saying those things that are true over and over again.
00:17:52.701 --> 00:17:54.922
So say to yourself fiber is healing.
00:17:54.922 --> 00:18:01.201
My gut bacteria need them for their food, my good gut bacteria, and they're not gonna thrive if they don't have it.
00:18:01.201 --> 00:18:14.520
And so when your digestive system gets stopped up and slowed down because you're either not getting enough water or you're not eating a large amount of whole plant foods, like it's the majority or all of what you're eating, things are going to slow down.
00:18:14.520 --> 00:18:32.045
They're going to stop up because you don't have the fiber that physically keeps the stuff moving through and the water, and then your good gut bacteria are not getting what they need to thrive, and so the bad ones are out of control, the good ones are worn out and dying off, and then that causes a whole host of health problems.
00:18:32.045 --> 00:18:42.441
And that is why prebiotics matter, fiber matters, and you just can't get it through meat and dairy.
00:18:42.441 --> 00:18:44.789
I mean, I was a dairy queen, I understand what this is like.
00:18:44.789 --> 00:18:49.290
So, look, we're just gonna talk real talk about bowel movements for a moment.
00:18:49.290 --> 00:18:53.375
Your poop should look like a long, smooth snake.
00:18:53.375 --> 00:19:04.251
If it looks more like a corn cob, like it's lumpy looking or it's in pieces, that is not normal and you're gonna have problems down the road with your digestive tract.
00:19:04.251 --> 00:19:06.151
That's just the simple truth.
00:19:06.585 --> 00:19:18.113
People develop diverticulitis, where they get inflammation in their digestive tract, or it creates these pouches that develop off of the large intestines, the colon.
00:19:18.113 --> 00:19:31.449
So the two most common things that come to mind for this type of situation is diverticulosis and hemorrhoids, because you're having to work harder to move something through that shouldn't be, because it's just sitting there.
00:19:31.449 --> 00:19:32.231
It's not moving.
00:19:32.231 --> 00:19:39.394
More water gets absorbed from that stool matter, so it gets drier and harder and then your body has to work harder to eliminate it.
00:19:39.704 --> 00:19:54.511
But then you think about that one cell thick lining in your digestive tract as you go, and so you've got that one cell lining thick and you've got something that is hard and lumpy, scraping those cells all the way down.
00:19:55.585 --> 00:19:56.609
Plus inflammation.
00:19:57.164 --> 00:19:59.011
That's causing problems there.
00:19:59.011 --> 00:20:00.650
It's causing problems.
00:20:00.650 --> 00:20:03.292
So you get bloated, you get polyped.
00:20:03.292 --> 00:20:10.490
There's all kinds of problems that happen when your body can't get rid of the waste or when it's difficult to do so.
00:20:10.490 --> 00:20:13.388
And let's just not even talk about the time that you waste in the bathroom.
00:20:13.388 --> 00:20:14.713
I'm serious.
00:20:14.713 --> 00:20:19.568
We have people come to us and they're like Anita Jared I had no idea Like TMI.
