What you need to remember:
- Cleaning your intestines means, above all, taking care of them by adopting a balanced and varied diet and supporting the intestinal microbiota.
- To facilitate good intestinal purification, nothing beats food supplements.
- Certain plants and good bacteria such as probiotics, ginger, prunes, fennel and coriander can support digestion and facilitate good elimination.
- At DIJO, we have developed all the supplements necessary for proper bowel cleansing and support for intestinal transit.
Why cleanse and purify your intestines?
Digestion is a complex process that requires many steps and involves various organs. An imbalance in the diet can result in an overload of certain organs and an accumulation of toxins , particularly in the liver and intestines. Indeed, an excess of industrial products, sometimes ultra-processed, products rich in fats and sugars can impact the digestive system and its comfort. Indeed, this alters, in the long term, the intestinal wall , the basis of the intestinal microbiota , and disrupts the balance of the microorganisms called probiotics that compose it.
This is why it is sometimes necessary to do a little cleaning in this. This cleaning will intervene in support of detoxification , a natural process of the body carried out by the emunctory organs ( liver , intestine, skin, lungs, kidneys).
How to ensure proper bowel cleansing?
Small disclaimer: by the term “cleansing”, we mean “supporting detoxification functions”. We do not recommend, under any circumstances, a cleansing of the intestines by medical technique or by taking medication. These practices must be supervised by a health professional and implemented following a prescription by the latter.
Ensure intestinal purification through diet
In order to ensure good digestive comfort and intestinal purification, it is essential to adapt your diet to select products that are beneficial for the body. Several tips are then to follow:
- Select raw foods to preserve their vitamin and mineral content and provide everything the body needs.
- Provide a sufficient amount of prebiotic fibers throughout the day to ensure optimal transit and to deeply nourish the intestinal microbiota. For this, several sources exist:
- Fruits and vegetables, preferably raw to preserve all the fiber as well as the vitamin and mineral content
- Legumes such as lentils, peas, beans, broad beans, etc.
- Cereals (preferably whole grains) such as wheat, rice, quinoa, spelt, etc.
- Certain condiments/foods such as garlic, lemon, ginger, psyllium, avocado, black radish and many others will promote detoxification of the body .
- Promote good continuous hydration throughout the day to ensure good hydration of the body but also of fibers thus allowing optimal transit while preventing the risks of constipation .
- Diversify with herbal teas or drinks based on draining plants : dandelion , hawkweed , fennel , dill, green anise, coriander, thyme, ginger, peppermint. At DIJO, we wanted to bring together as many draining plants as possible in our Detox Potion and our Mega-Draining Infusion in order to facilitate the natural elimination of toxins accumulated in the body.
Ensure intestinal purification with food supplements
Food supplements to support intestinal transit
In order to support intestinal transit , it is possible to use supplements that will strengthen digestion and the intestinal wall. Indeed, it is recommended to provide, through diet and supplements, a sufficient quantity of probiotics such as lactobacillus and bifidobacterium to support intestinal functions. These good bacteria have the function of providing a barrier against toxins and pathogens and facilitating the production of immune compounds.
Glutamine is also of interest in ensuring good strengthening of the intestinal wall on which the probiotics rest and thus preventing the occurrence of intestinal porosity and hyperpermeability of the wall.
At DIJO, we have developed a range of probiotics to allow you to provide enough good bacteria, in addition to your diet , and thus promote lasting digestive well-being.
All these compounds will help to establish a real cleansing of the intestine by fighting against the development of pathogens within this system.
Food supplements to aid digestion and elimination
It is sometimes common to experience small slowdowns in digestion that impact our daily well-being. Ensuring a balance in digestion time is essential to avoid more serious complications. Indeed, beyond the physical discomfort that this causes, a real slowdown and a too irregular bowel movement can lead to stagnation of stools in the colon, thus leading to dehydration of the latter as well as greater fermentation. This can cause more digestive disorders such as bloating and gas . This is why it is recommended to adapt your diet , hydrate yourself sufficiently but above all use food supplements when necessary. The supplements will allow a real cleansing of the intestines and thus promote overall digestive comfort.
Among the plants and fruit extracts that have benefits for facilitating transit, we find prunes, papaya , bromelain (pineapple extract), tamarind , boldo and black radish. We have integrated these ingredients into some of our formulations to allow you real digestive well-being. Easy Digestion and Focus Constipation are therefore part of our essentials to facilitate the digestion of certain large meals and combat a slowdown in transit or occasional constipation.
Food supplements to facilitate detoxification
In addition and to avoid overloading certain organs, detoxification support can be provided using various plants . The liver is the first excretory organ to take charge of a large part of the toxins accumulated in the body. It promotes good natural detoxification continuously and helps purify the body sustainably. However, in the long term, the liver can become saturated and release its toxins into the intestine, which impairs the quality of digestion. This is why taking care of your liver is just as essential to ensure good intestinal cleansing. To do this, it is recommended to use certain hepatoprotective plants such as milk thistle , rosemary , desmodium , dandelion and many others. At DIJO, we have developed D etox liver to ensure optimal and lasting support for the liver and thus facilitate the elimination of waste and toxins from the body.
