Nowadays many people suffer from various symptoms resulting from diseases of the large intestine.
It really covers a wide range of conditions such as intestinal damage, chronic constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis.
The large intestine is one of the most important organs for eliminating waste substances from the body, so it is extremely important that it functions properly.
Ways to cleanse the intestines
There are several options to ensure proper functioning of the large intestine.
For this purpose, various means can be used, such as increased intake of fiber from fruit and vegetables, consumption of flax seeds with kefir or fermented foods (sauerkraut, kombucha and the like).
Another option is the consumption of fresh fruit-and-vegetable juices full of enzymes and other substances that wash dangerous toxins out of the intestines.
Moreover, such juices also suppress inflammations responsible for many health problems.
And today we will show you a recipe for one such mixed drink.
