A client made a comment the other day that I KNOW will raise
a few eyebrows.

Often in this newsletter, you see stories from clients raving about how Super Shield probiotic formula has helped them with a variety of digestive and other health challenges, but this one is vastly different.

See what Emily writes:

I am unsatisfied with Super Shield. I was hoping to see a difference and that it would help with my constipation and it has not whatsoever.

*******************

SB: Emily, it appears you are only looking at part of the picture here. And that is sabotaging your overcoming constipation.

For your benefit and that of all my readers, let me explain here.

There are MANY factors that can lead to constipation. To concentrate on only one and ignore the others can guarantee failure.

While probiotics DO help break down certain foods in your intestines which can help tremendously with constipation, that's only a small piece of the puzzle.

Here are just a few of the many...

Factors contributing to constipation

1- Medications

Constipation is a side effect of many medications including antacids, pain medicines, antidepressants or iron pills. Emily didn't mention whether or not she was on any medications, but that should be a top consideration. Most people who are chronically constipated have other health issues, and that often means they're on one or more medications.

If you suspect constipation due to medications, it's time to talk to your doctor about alternatives or explore natural remedies.

2- Lack of exercise

Exercise helps to move things along through your colon and thus prevents your wastes from becoming dry and hard.

In addition, aerobic exercise raises your breathing and heart rates, which helps to stimulate the contraction of your intestinal muscles (called peristalsis). It is this contraction that pushes wastes through the intestines and out your back door.

I don't know Emily's exercise habits, but unless she moves her body enough, she's putting out the welcome mat for constipation. Time to get moving.

3- Overuse of laxatives

Using laxatives for a long period of time weakens the bowel muscles which makes constipation even WORSE--not better. Plus, your body can become dependent on them to the point where you can't have a bowel movement without them!

Emily didn't say whether she had a history of laxative use, but if so, chances are excellent that her bowel is still sluggish from them or dependent on them.

4- Stress

The brain and gut are connected through a series of nerve impulses called the brain-gut axis. That's why you get butterflies in your stomach when you're nervous.

And that's also the reason why stress can lead to diarrhea or constipation.

I'm not sure if Emily has a lot of stress in her life, but if so, it most certainly can be adding to her constipation. Exercise can help relieve stress and so can counseling with a good therapist.

And for the granddaddy of them all...

5- Incomplete digestion

Incomplete digestion is THE #1 most common cause of constipation.

You see, when your foods are completely broken down and digested like they should be, your bowel movements are regular and easy -- with no grunting or straining necessary.

But when your digestion is poor, your wastes are hard, sticky and mucus covered. They can adhere to your colon wall to the point where you practically need a chisel to get them off.

You could swallow a wheelbarrow full of probiotics, but if you consistently undo their positive effects and throw your GI tract into turmoil by eating meals that your body cannot efficiently break down, constipation will continue to be your companion.
 

The right foods for the job

Probiotics are great, but they can't always compensate for a constipation-causing diet. It's like David fighting Goliath.

It's essential to get enough of the right foods and in compatible combinations so they're easy to digest AND give your body some help when needed from digestive enzymes.

As far as what to eat, in my health systems, Great Taste No Pain and for gluten-sensitive people, Great Taste No Gluten (gluten is very constipating), I show you how to put together meals that are not only mouth-wateringly delicious, but are MUCH easier for your body to digest. This results in things "moving along" like they should...like Nature intended.

Believe me, when you eat this way, Nature WILL call. And it will be pleasant and fast -- not the agony of sitting on the toilet for hours in misery.
 

Get the enzymes for the job

The other piece of efficient digestion is to give your body a boost when needed with digestive enzyme supplements.

All of us need digestive enzyme help at one time or another.

The elderly, people who have taken acid reducers for a long time or junk food junkies have a reduced ability to produce the enzymes adequate for digestion, so supplementation is essential.

And whenever you eat a hard to digest meal, your body needs extra enzymes.

That's where Digestizol Max can step in and help.

Digestizol Max's blend of 14 plant-derived enzymes will give your body an enzyme boost to break down proteins, fats, carbs, fiber and dairy.

Whatever you eat, Digestizol Max has you covered!
 

Imagine how nice it would feel to be regular and never need laxatives again!

Well, when you look at ALL the possible factors behind your constipation, that's exactly what you can have.

So Emily, take a look at what is contributing to your constipation. Not only will you be more likely to help make it a thing of the past, but you'll be able to better appreciate all the ways Super Shield probiotic formula is contributing to your health.

To your health,

Sherry Brescia

PS: Charly ditched the fiber & stool softeners and has dodged the office sicknesses, too!

Sherry:

Thank you so much for all of your hard work.

I have been on the Great Taste No Pain way of eating for about 6 months...I feel so good I ordered 3 more plans for my daughters!

I have not had to take antacids, stool softeners, extra fiber stuff, etc. since I started. My allergies are much better too.

I have been taking your Super Shield Probiotics for about a year now--everybody in my office has been sick this year so far at least twice - except me!

I love your products and would not be without them.

Thanks,

Charly G.

*******************

As we age, our supply of digestive enzymes decreases. This is especially true for people who eat lots of processed food and hard to digest meals. Foods such as these require LOTS of enzymes to break them down and over time your body's ability to produce enough enzymes is diminished. Nothing can make you feel older than gas, bloating, heartburn and constipation from ineffective digestion and too few enzymes. Give your body the support it needs and feel great inside with Digestizol Max natural digestive enzyme supplement.  Learn more about Digestizol Max and all the ways it can help you here.
