Digestive Health – KIKI Health Organic Psyllium Husks Powder | Aloe Pure

Maintaining digestive health is crucial to our overall health and well-being.  Our gut wall houses 70-80% of the cells that make up our immune system.

Hippocrates said, “All disease begins in the gut. 

Your gut is the epicentre for physical and mental health.  If your gut is healthy, then so are you and if it’s unhealthy…you’re unhealthy too!

“Our gut is home to about 100 trillion bacteria that digest our food, regulate our hormones, eliminate toxins and produce key nutrients”

Your gut is responsible for:

• Digestion
• Vitamin, mineral and nutrient absorption
• Protection from infections
• Metabolism
• 70-80% of your immune system
• 95% of your serotonin production

I’ve been focused on improving my gut health…I want better immunity, efficient digestion, improved mental clarity and balance.

I’m a big fan of KIKI Health and picked out some products to try out.

 

 

KIKI Health Organic Psyllium Husk Powder 275g | £19.95

Psyllium Husks is a highly soluble source of fibre and minerals. It is a fine powder and is easy to digest.

Directions for use:

Adult intake: Add one (1) heaped teaspoon to any drink or smoothie, sprinkle on and mix with foods.

When mixed with water, it becomes a gel after a few seconds so you need to drink it immediately.  Follow with another glass of water and make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Psyllium husks are a popular food supplement used for digestive health.  Psyllium husks are brimming with fibre and contain a spongy fibre that reduces appetite and improves digestion.

 

Benefits I’ve noticed

1) Normal bowel movements & toxin elimination

When combined with water, psyllium husks form a gel that soaks up water in the gut, softening stools and making bowel movements much easier.  My bowel movements are more regular and I avoid problems like constipation.

It is also an effective colon cleanser and works like an internal ‘broom’ gently sweeping away toxins and eliminating them.

2) Weight loss

I’m trying to lose weight! I’ve still got post baby weight to shift.  Taking psyllium husks 30-60 minutes before a meal reduces my cravings and helps me feel fuller.  Due to its bulking properties, it creates a feeling a fullness so I naturally eat less.  I feel less bloated and also feel fuller for longer so I don’t feel the need to snack during the day.

3) Increase in energy and alertness

Maintaining a healthy gut  healthy bowel may not seem like a significant health priority to some, however, you’ll be surprised how many problems will disappear once you’ve sorted out your digestive problems.

4) Immune system support

Psyllium is a prebiotic — a source of food for probiotics to grow, multiply and survive in the gut.  Having a healthy colony of good bacteria is essential for a healthy immune system.  My body is better able to fight infections and stay healthy.

5) Increase in energy

I feel lighter, more energetic, motivated and alert.  Your gut is connected to your brain and affects mental and emotional health.
