To Prune or Not to Prune That is the Question

Holistic healthcare for a healthy colon.

Although it is important to note that the slimmer and trimmer you are the longer you will live than someone whom was overweight, being slender and being malnutritioned are two very different things. One must give the body what it needs and no more. A good suggestion could be to limit your consumption to 2 main meals and then snack on produce throughout the day, taking care that it is organic and properly washed.

Beans and “greens” are an essential part of a healthy regimen as they help keep the digestive system in good shape, provide you with many anti oxidants and help you maintain your recommended daily fiber count of 30 grams. Since sluggish digestive systems and colon problems are a high statistic amongst senior citizens it is best to keep a clean and healthy colon, by staying regular. No the prune juice at your local supermarket is no good, it if full of sugars and preservatives not to mention it's pasteurized.

You would be better off eating a fresh plum or eating an apple or two. It is also important to note that although the article starts off with “juice” and “prune” in the same section I would not recommend taking a tub of prunes and sending them through the juicer, not only would you get a filthy kitchen (supposing that is where you keep your juicer) but you would probably cure your juicer with being “clogged.”
