Digestive Health

The digestive system is a 25- to 35-foot-long hoselike structure. It receives food at one end, breaks it down into nutrients (a process called digestion), and absorbs the nutrients into the bloodstream for delivery to the cells. The eliminatory system helps maintain water and chemical balance and removes excess fluid and waste from the body.

The primary structures of these systems are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines (colon), kidneys, bladder, and anus.

When things go wrong

Digestive disorders are a major source of lost time. We all are familiar with such inconveniences as constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, urinary tract infections, flatulence, and upset stomachs. Digestive disorders also account for such serious problems as hepatitis, jaundice, cirrhosis, diverticular disease, and cancers of the digestive system.

Why things go wrong

Diet is often the main culprit. We eat too much processed food and sugar, and not enough fiber, fruits, and vegetables. Poor eating habits, such as eating too quickly or irregularly, are also part of the problem.

In addition, parasites are a largely unknown but major problem. Other risk factors are lack of exercise, effects of prescription and over-the-counter drugs, smoking, stress, and alcohol.

To maintain digestive health

Many digestive problems can be prevented through lifestyle. Live the Healthy Cell Concept™ and be sure to get adequate amounts of fiber, fruits, and vegetables. Supplementing with pre- and probiotics and digestive enzymes can aid in digestion.

	One way to help maintain digestive health is to be aware of and ‘take care of’ our intestinal flora – the trillions of bacteria that make the digestive tract their home. AIM FloraFood® contains a special blend of three powerful friendly bacteria—L. acidophilus, B. bifidum and B. longum. Friendly bacteria do much more than counteract unfriendly bacteria. They promote the production of B vitamins; break down and rebuild hormones; protect us from environmental toxins; and help to maintain healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels. AIM’s special formula requires no refrigeration! Details Sheets   FloraFood 60 capsules $26.00  was 33.80

	Cranberry has long been used to treat urinary tract infections, and research confirms this form of therapy. Cranberries contain proanthocyanidins that inhibit the ability of bacteria to ‘stick’ to the urinary tract wall. There is growing evidence that cranberry may have other health benefits as well. Cranberry contains antioxidant phenols. They also have probiotic qualities and are being studied for dental as well as cardiovascular benefit. Unlike cranberry beverages that contain large amounts of processed sugar, AIM CranVerry® has no added sugar, and delivers only the benefit of pure cranberry concentrate.

The 11 herbs found in AIM Herbal Release® work together to cleanse and support the lymphatic system. These herbs may also help with bowel regularity.
