Anti-inflammatory And Intestinal Repair Smoothie

How can a smoothie help us in our intestinal health? The intestine plays a very important role in the body, since through it toxins are eliminated and various vital functions are regulated that guarantee good health.

Health experts agree that the origin of the main diseases  are poor diet, poor bowel function and therefore the accumulation of toxins.

A sedentary lifestyle and poor diet overload the intestine with tasks, since we do not absorb enough nutrients for food to be completely digested and not interfere with the body’s metabolic processes.

By having a leaky, inflamed, weakened or waste gut, health suffers because it does not allow a good absorption of nutrients, weakens the immune system and, later, causes chronic diseases.

For this reason it is very important to support the function of the intestine and provide it with the nutrients it needs to deflate and function in perfect condition.
