When people are constipated, their colons become plugged up with old, rotting waste material. What is worse, is how this becomes a nasty breeding ground for dangerous bacteria!
Autopsy reports even show that the longer the waste stays in your colon, the more toxic it becomes. These poisonous toxins leak out of your colon through tiny blood vessels and poison the rest of your organs.
Your colon’s main job is to squeeze water and nutrients out of your food as it’s digested to keep your body hydrated and provide nourishment. When you don’t drink enough water, the food inside your colon dries out too much and gets squeezed into tiny balls of fecal matter. Your colon packs it down so hard that these tiny balls become too hard to pass…and you become constipated! And when you do go – it’s like trying to pass boulders.
That’s when your real trouble starts, because when your colon becomes overloaded, that rotting fecal matter has to go somewhere!
Food goes through your stomach and enters your small intestines as a semi-liquid mixture of undigested food, fiber, enzymes, and things your body can’t use, which turn into waste. This mixture is called chyme (pronounced “kime”). It’s moved through your intestines by muscle contractions called peristalsis.
Normal peristalsis happens only if you have enough thick, voluminous chyme to trigger your colon muscles to push the waste materials along toward your rectum and out your anus.
There’s less and less volume in your intestines to stimulate the muscles so your natural peristalsis motion that moves out the poop at a normal rate now slows down to a crawl!
