Did You Know? The Bowel is Home to Several Hundred Species of Bacteria
By Steve Marmor
The typical American consumes 10-15 grams of fiber a day, but optimal bowel function requires 30-50 grams. Add whole grains for those individuals tolerant, raw fruits, vegetables and beans to your diet.
Consider drinking at least two quarts of ionized water daily or a half-ounce of water per day per pound of body weight. ( A 120 lb. adult might drink at least 60 fluid oz. of healthy ionized water daily, roughly half a gallon.)
Eating a diet with lots of red meat, cheeses, refined grain products, foods high in sugar and table salt, as well as sport beverages and alcohol, negatively impacts intestinal health and flora.
