Healthy intake builds healthy body




Health is something one should never neglect. It is in best interest of us, humans, to take good care of our body and not to neglect its requirements of balanced diet, proper rest and adequate intake of fiber as well as water. These days we eat loads of refined foods, unhealthy saturated fatty food. Our diet mostly consists of less fiber and consumption of water is less due to busy lifestyle. All this leads to various problems related to our digestive system, intestines and eventually our health. The food we consume is basically digested into our intestines and useful elements like salt, water, nutritious portions from foods are absorbed through these intestines and are then passed to various organs for further processing of conversion. Digested food is then thrown out of body in the form of urine and excrement. This is the whole process of digesting to food and cleansing the waste from body. The waste material created at the end of digestion process is toxin and needs to be thrown out of body. This digestion takes place in the large intestine which is also called colon. There are normally four parts of colon, which perform various functions related to digestion. Having a healthy body can be achieved through having a clean digestive system. Colon cleansing thus should be done regularly. There are many ways of doing this, but the most effective way is natural. This process does not have side effects.

Natural way of cleansing and detoxifying them is to eat more fibrous food like raw vegetables, more fruits, less refined and processed food and so on. Eating probiotic supplement foods can also help in adding fiber into digestion. This is another safe way to cleanse these organs. These supplements are rich in dietary fiber which is useful in having regular bowel movements. The basic thing is to balance the diet, add more fibrous foods, and regularly exercise in order to keep oneself fit and having regular bowel movement. Having at least one movement a day is a sign of healthy digestive system. This is the body’s natural way to cleanse internal toxins and clean the organs. Many big diseases are related to poor digestive system. Bifidobacterium is a very useful variety of bacteria as it helps in digestion, lowers down the risk of developing allergies as well as helps in the prevention of some form of tumor growth. Infrequent or poor movements may lead to disastrous illnesses. To avoid this it is highly recommended to eat balanced and proper food, complement it with supplements. Health is the greatest wealth.

Healthy eating habits required for healthier life




It is often said, that what you eat is what you are. Many great people have laid emphasis on dietary habits for recognizing and understanding a person’s nature or his/ her personality. Mostly eating habits are related to our temperament. It is mostly observed that people with milder nature prefer food which is not really extreme in taste. They prefer mild flavors or milder tastes in food. On the other hand people with short or higher tempers have very extreme food choices. They will prefer to eat high aromatic or extreme tastes in their food. Thus a person can be judged by his/ her eating habits. These habits make a personality. It is also observed that people who follow meditation or spiritual ways of life often follow eating raw food like raw vegetables, sprouts, fruits etc. This, they believe, brings them closer to Mother Nature and eliminates any existing distances between them and natural ways of life. it is not just for spiritual reasons that apart from the spiritual practitioners, other people also follow eating raw food or including at least some portion of raw food in their daily food consumption. Eating raw food has its own great benefits. One of them is Colon cleansing.

Colon is the intestine, which helps our body digesting consumed food and throws out the waste created in that process. The food gets digested in this organ of our body. Hence it is very important to keep this organ very clean. Any impurities in there may lead to various health problems. Fiber in the food helps in cleaning the intestine well. Fiber intake is done through consuming raw food or un-refined foods like wheat flour, brown rice etc.The body should be replenished with fluids. Apart from water, enriched milk, yogurt, soy milk, buttermilk is required to ensure digestion and ph balance of the body. These fluids have lactobacillus or good bacteria and as such the body needs it at all times. Proper digestion of food is one of the most important factors which can keep the colon clean, because digested food is lighter and can be easily thrown outside the body. These waste materials include toxins, fecal matters and bacteria. There are good and bad bacteria. Good bacteria help in breaking the food particles into digestible portions as well as help in digesting the food in the intestine. At the time eliminating waste from body many bacteria are also thrown out, which may cause problem, if they are unchecked. Probiotic supplement helps in restoring the good bacteria into body and help in improving the digestion.

Essential nutrients supply to the body




I have a friend of mine who is very fond of eating sweetened curd in lunch. Without that her meal is always incomplete and that feeling of sadness stays with her till evening. So to avoid from sinking into such mood- swings she will always buy a cup of sweetened curd and then the meal. Eating curd is best and if someone has the habit of eating it daily nothing like that. On the other hand if you are eating curd with two-three tablespoons of sugar or buying the sweetened curd it will not do much good. If the purpose is to ensure health benefits that arrive from eating curd, the wise thing would be stay away from packed sweetened curd that we get in the markets. May be its time that we rethink about the humble lactobacillus!

Eating homemade fresh curd with a pinch of salt is the best thing. If homemade curd isn`t available it would be best to buy curd packet from the market but make sure that it is not high on the sweet- content. It is a known fact that sweetened curd is tastier than its plain Jane counterpart but as the doctors say what tastes good in the mouth is less beneficial than what taste not so tasty in the mouth. Like we love to gorge on spicy spring rolls or burgers but they don`t do much good once it reaches our tummy. On the other hand we don`t like eating bitter-gourd or leafy vegetables much but they are coated with minerals and nutrients. Any detox cleanse diet in the initial stage is greeted with such mixed feelings. It is only when we have tortured our body to the maximum limits that the detox cleanse diet needs to be started with. People blame it on lifestyle, stress, food and things like that. Well these factors are there very much but what also to be noted is that we ourselves have become very lazy and careless when it comes to taking care. Many a times we feel that nothing would harm us and it is ok to go on the same way. Reluctance or rigidity whatever you may call- the end result is the body breaking into pieces badly. The body should be replenished with fluids. Apart from water, enriched milk, yogurt, soy milk, buttermilk is required to ensure digestion and ph balance of the body. These fluids have lactobacillus or good bacteria and as such the body needs it at all times.Before 1960s bifidobacterium species was collectively referred to as lactobacillus bifidus. If you happen to stay in tropics summer then the liquids deficiency of the body is only filled via these healthy natural drinks.

These cleansing agents are very much a part and parcel of our life and don`t wait for the calamity to strike. Make it a habit to nurture body via these essential nutrients.

The Beneficial Bifidobacterium


Bifidobacterium is a kind of gram positive anaerobic bacteria which means a kind of bacteria that does not require oxygen for growth and bifidobacterium basically inhabits the gastrointestinal tract, mouth as well as vagina. This bacterium is a very useful variety of bacteria as it helps in digestion, lowers down the risk of developing allergies as well as helps in the prevention of some form of tumor growth. Some of the species of this bacterium is used as probiotics which implies live organisms which is beneficial to host organism that is in this case, human beings. In fact some species are considered so useful that they are commercialy used in the food industry. Bifidobacterium also helps in regulating intestinal microbial homeostasis as well as helps in inhibiting the pathogens which are disease causing bacteria. Bifidobacterium is also said to discourage the growth of gram negative pathogens that is not beneficial for us. This can be better explained by giving the example of mother’s milk as we all know how important the milk of mother is for a new born baby. When an infant consumes the milk containing high percentage of lactose and lower percentage of phosphate, the bifidobacterium present in the gastrointestinal tract of the child ferments the milk and this creates a situation which is difficult for the growth and sustenance of gram negative bacteria.

Regarding probiotics it is said that if the person is critically ill then one should not give him or her probiotics as this could prove more harmful to the patient. A research conducted says that if a person suffering from acute pancreatitis is given a mixture of six probiotic bacteria to consume, it has a negative impact. Another interesting aspect or let us say trivia about bifidobacterium which might interest the reader is that before 1960s bifidobacterium species was collectively referred to as Lactobacillus bifidus. To sum it up everything in the world has two aspects just like the two sides of a coin and probiotics is certainly not an exception. Therefore the research in the field of probiotics is exhaustive and one of the most sought after topics of research for students who are enrolled for doctoral studies in food and nutrition department of universities across the world.
