Good Food Good Health - Good Liver Health With Regular Bowel Movement

I know it is not a subject we like to talk about, but do you know that being regular as clockwork - having a bowel movement - or going to the loo, daily ablutions whatever you like to call it is really important for liver cleansing.
It is not a something we are likely to talk about over coffee or when chatting on the phone to friends, but it really is an essential function and I cannot stress this too much.
If we do not have regular bowel movements to remove the waste from our body problems can occur. Not going daily has recently been linked with liver problems and bowel cancer.
The time we are most likely to think about our bowel movement is if we become constipated, and if this is a regular occurrence you should notify your doctor and really take a good look at your diet.
If we take care and eat a varied diet of good food for good health and drink plenty of fluids we should not have too many problems. Obviously taking some forms of medication can have a bearing on this.
What one person calls being 'regular as clockwork' is not necessarily the same for every one; some people go more that once a day, some say every other day is normal for them. But it does not matter whether you are male of female going at least once a day is vital for good health, makes your body work more effectively leaving us feeling good.
Did you know that our hormones are made in the liver, both testosterone and oestrogen, - and these have a lot to do with the 'feel good factor' as well as the important roles that they play every day.
These hormones are then broken down by the liver and excreted through the gut as stools. Your body keeps producing new fresh and bouncy hormones all the time.
Problems can arise if you are not going to the loo daily to get rid of these hormones as they become reabsorbed, going all around your system again and stimulating hormone sensitive areas of your body.
Oestrogen excess is what this is known to be in women and can stimulate development of period irregularities, fibroids and breast lumpiness.
For men, testosterone excess can mean their prostrate may become enlarged and inflamed.
Teenagers who have to many hormones floating around their bodies often have far more spots.
So to avoid having excess hormone problems is really easy, we just need to eat a really good diet of good food making sure we have enough fibre and plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables to keep our digestive system and tract on track, ensuring a healthy bowel movement is performed daily.
Do not forget to drink the necessary amounts of fluid that our body needs daily as this really does have a bearing on bowel performance. With a lack of fluid the

stools become too firm and this can lead to other problems, not just constipation.
Surveys have shown that 40% of the British population drink far less than the required 1.8 litres daily. This certainly does not have to be just water, but can be attained from all drinks including tea and coffee as well as juices. Alcohol should not be included in the daily amount.
In some eastern counties stools are still used for diagnostic tests to show the health of liver function. And in the west some complimentary health practices offer similar tests.
As you know our motto is 'good food for good health' and we believe that maintaining your well being through a varied nutritional diet should be everybody's goal- you are what you eat after all.
How well you eat affects how well your liver performs and also how regular waste products are removed from your system, therefore it is essential to eat good food to support your liver, as good nutrition helps form new liver cells and can help rebuild some damaged cells enabling good health.
So eating good food for good health really is 'the way to go' please excuse the pun, it is our motto and should be yours to make sure your bowels work regularly.
Eat well with regular bowel movements for a good healthy liver.
