Do you have the guts to be healthy?

July 30, 2016

From weight loss to a stronger immune system – and even reducing time spent in the bathroom – here’s why one small change may benefit several areas of your life.

Why are we seeing so many TV commercials aimed at people suffering from digestive issues? It’s because millions of Americans don’t have healthy guts. That can affect your overall health as well as your ability to get out and enjoy your life. No one likes spending extra time in the bathroom, or worrying about embarrassing accidents. Adding a daily scoop or capsule of galactomannan fiber to your diet may sound boring, but it could have a huge impact on your life. It may even help you lose weight. More good news: Making this change is super easy.

About 80 percent of your immune system activity happens in your gut. When your gut is out of whack and your body lacks fiber, your healthy bacteria can become imbalanced. Your digestive processes suffer. Your immune system and overall health may break down. You may have gas and bloating, as well as occasional constipation or diarrhea. As your system struggles to push out waste, you may feel lethargic. For the approximately 15.3 million Americans diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or IBS, these symptoms are all too familiar.

The issue gets more complicated when you’re on the go and don’t have time for freshly cooked meals. People who avoid gluten also tend to have trouble getting sufficient fiber because gluten-free staples such as bread and pasta are typically very low in this important nutrient.

Research shows that a gluten-free galactomannan fiber helps to normalize bowel movements. It also helps keep you satisfied after a meal, reducing your urge to snack. Available as (much easier to pronounce) Sunfiber, the powdered version can be easily added to virtually any food or beverage without changing its taste, aroma or texture. This is an ideal solution for those who want to add more fiber to their diets without experiencing any additional gas or bloating. Sunfiber is also a prebiotic, which means it helps to nourish your beneficial gut bacteria.

Spend less time behind the bathroom door, and more time participating in life

This one simple change may help you lose weight, support your immune system and help to normalize your bowel movements. You may even start to feel more energetic. To see a list of all the products that contain Sunfiber, visit www.Sunfiber.com.
