How does Constipation create poor Health?

Constipation slows down food transit time. The transit time of food is the time it takes for a meal to enter the mouth and then exit the rectum, which should be less than 24 hours. Constipation causes food transit time to slow down.

Why is this a problem? When transit time slows down, putrefied material stays in the colon longer, and toxins enter the bloodstream through the intestinal wall. This can lead to what is called autointoxification, which causes everything from headaches to autoimmune disorders. More than that, slow transit time can lead to a build-up of toxic material along the intestinal walls.

This build-up reduces absorption of good nutrients into our body. This is called malabsorption. This deprives the body of nutrients that create energy and vitality that keep us alive and healthy. This is why so many constipated people complain of fatigue and depression.

Constipation slows down food transit time, which can lead to the absorption of these poisons. These toxins are from putrefied fecal material that has not been eliminated. The absorption of toxins from within the body's digestive system is a form of self-poisoning which is called autointoxification. Your circulatory and lymphatic systems are connected to the digestive system. Thus toxins from food and its digestive by-products can enter the bloodstream when digestion is poor and bowel movements are infrequent.

Once this occurs, toxins can settle into the tissue, creating many disease states including autoimmune disorders. Some of the problems associated with this pattern include diverticulitis, pms, bad breath, headaches, brain fog, depression, obesity, indigestion, gas, bloating, body odor, and the list continues.

Colon cancer, the second leading cause of death in the United States, can result from years of autointoxification. Even the traditional medical community recognizes the connection between constipation and serious disease. The lancet, a prestigious British Medical Journal, reported 20 years ago that women who are constipated are 4 times more likely to develope breast cancer.
