Healthy Diet
It’s been said, “You are what you eat,” but many nutrition experts are amending that statement to “You are what you digest.” While many of us eat for social reasons (a special date, a birthday celebration) or emotional reasons (stress eating, boredom), the fundamental reason we eat is for fuel. Food contains the building blocks for life, and our bodies are designed to extract and absorb what we need out of our food and discard the rest.
So your diet – what you put into your body – is an important factor in how your body functions.
The main source of fiber in Colonix®, psyllium husk, is a multi-tasking supplement: it moves waste out of the colon while delivering heart-healthy benefits. Adding psyllium to your diet is one way to reduce the “bad cholesterol” known as LDL.
