Scientists’ assumption that even the smallest changes in food flora have a significant impact on the development of certain diseases has been the basis for many studies aimed at dietary changes that would have a more significant impact on <\/span>composition of intestinal flora<\/b><\/span>. The need for this type of intervention is particularly important in the light of new information about the cause and effect relationship between intestinal flora and metabolic disorders, which are numerous in the modern world. It has been shown that in addition to taking probiotic preparations, it has a significant impact on the number and diversity of intestinal bacteria <\/span>eating certain types of fiber<\/b><\/span>thanks to which they contribute to maintaining the integrity of the intestinal epithelium and reducing the body’s exposure to bacteria.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prebiotic effect of fiber from Nopal cactus <\/h2>\n
Nopal<\/b><\/span> (pour. Opuntia ficus indica<\/i><\/span>) has an extremely low caloric value (27 kcal\/100 g) and a low glycemic and insulinemic index, making it suitable for use in the diet of people with obesity and insulin resistance. Prebiotic effect of nopal<\/b><\/span> is also pronounced due to the specific composition of mucous membranes and pectin-like oligosaccharides. Research has also confirmed this prebiotic effect<\/b><\/span> \u2013 introducing it into the diet nopal<\/b><\/span>the gut microbiota of animals fed high amounts of fat and sugar was changed to such an extent that the amount of harmful substances produced in the gut was reduced. As a consequence, organ relief was observed – a cleansing effect, e.g. on the liver. Consuming nopal resulted in the reconstruction of the mucus layer in the intestines and the restoration of intestinal permeability. Including nopal in the diet of experimental animals significantly reduced glucose intolerance due to nopal’s complex carbohydrates, which take longer to digest and have less impact on blood glucose levels. These changes were accompanied by a reduction in liver fat (steatosis) and oxidative stress in adipose tissue and brain, as well as improvement in cognitive functions, all thanks to changes in intestinal flora and improvement in the condition of the intestinal mucosa. Research results support the use of nopal as a functional food and prebiotic due to its ability to change intestinal microflora and reduce metabolic endotoxemia and other biochemical disorders associated with obesity.<\/div>\n

Prebiotic effect of inulin – chicory fiber <\/h2>\n
Inulin<\/b><\/span> is a complex carbohydrate from the group of fructans (fructooligosaccharides or FOS), the fiber of which is insoluble and resistant to enzymatic degradation in the small intestine, thanks to which it reaches the large intestine undigested, where it is broken down by colon bacteria. It is most often obtained from chicory, and its main role is acting as a prebiotic<\/b><\/span> \u2013 thanks to this, it promotes the development of beneficial intestinal bacteria, especially species Bifidobacterium<\/i><\/span> and Lactobacilli<\/i><\/span>. Research suggests that consuming dietary fiber from the fructan group appears to lead to a lower incidence of type 2 diabetes through multiple mechanisms, including increased production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). Consuming fiber also plays a role in the action of gut hormones that reduce hunger. Short-chain fatty acids play an extremely important role in rebuilding the lining of the large intestine, which is especially important in inflammatory bowel disease and in preventing cellular changes (known as precancerous changes) that can lead to cancer. Because inulin has a low glycemic index<\/b><\/span> (slowly releases glucose from the chains), is suitable for diabetics and people on reducing diets. Inulin can be used as a food or drink additive sugar substitute<\/b><\/span>and its taste is comparable to sugar. Ultimately, inulin fiber can support all slimming treatments and people with insulin resistance when losing weight is significantly difficult.<\/div>\n

Which fiber best supports bowel movements?<\/h2>\n
Daily bowel movements are a normal physiological need, but for many people it is a kind of torment due to hard and irregular stools. This problem worsens with age, when metabolism and intestinal muscle motility slow down. In order for digestion to function every day in a completely natural and non-aggressive way, it has been developed natural product <\/b><\/span>for a bowel movement <\/span>EasyTime<\/a><\/b><\/span>. This new supplement <\/span>fiber combination<\/b><\/span> and <\/span>medicinal herbs<\/b><\/span>whose active ingredients can contribute to better intestinal peristalsis in a short time without causing cramps. Sea buckthorn contains anthraquinones, which stimulate intestinal peristalsis and effectively help in situations when milder methods no longer work. <\/span>Cassio<\/b><\/span> (Cassia fistula) has long been used to treat lazy bowels. Capsaicin stimulates the stomach to produce more mucus and thus stimulates the digestion process, and glucomannan fiber swells in contact with water, accumulates toxins, contributes to weight loss and helps regulate blood cholesterol levels.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

How to use Easy Time to support bowel movements?<\/h3>\n

It is recommended to drink it 1 Easy Time capsule<\/b><\/span> daily in the evening before bed<\/span>, drinking plenty of water<\/b><\/span>. After a week, you should take a break from using the product. People taking medications should consult their doctor before using them. It is not recommended to take Easy Time in the case of intestinal obstruction and narrowing, atony, appendicitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, abdominal pain of unknown cause and dehydration, people with a damaged digestive system, pregnant and breastfeeding women. Easy Time is not recommended for children under 12 years of age.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
