Strong Intestinal Wall - Healthy Immune System!
Health & immune system
With its surface of more than 400 square meters, the intestine is the largest human immune organ. It contains up to 80% of all immune cells that protect our organism from viruses, bacteria, environmental toxins and other stresses. It is therefore clear that a healthy intestinal system plays an important role in the effectiveness of our immune system.
Through the approximately 7 meter long digestive organ we channel large quantities of food every year. The intestine is home to trillions of microorganisms that ensure that the intestinal flora remains balanced and that digestive processes function without problems. It ensures that important nutrients from food are absorbed into the organism through the intestinal tracts. On the other hand, harmful substances from food or even from the digestive activity itself are removed and never enter the bloodstream. The intestine therefore represents the largest protective barrier in the body, ensuring that "good" substances are absorbed and "bad" substances are excreted.
The intestinal wall as an important protective barrier
Environmental and food poisons, wrong nutrition, stress, hustle & bustle, fungi and even medicines (e.g. antibiotics) damage the interaction between intestine, intestinal flora and the immune system. As a result, the immune system’s defenses are weakened and the detoxification system is increasingly reaching ist limits.
If our intestine, as an important protective barrier, is repeatedly confronted with these strains, then so-called system complexes can develop, which are not unknown to us. These include a gradual drop in performance, fatigue and listlessness, concentration problems, sleep disorders and an increased susceptibility to infections. Allergies and other diseases are also a sign that the immune system cannot function properly.
The intestine offers a huge attack surface for pathogens or pollutants.
This makes it all the more important to have a functioning intestinal wall that protects us and our body.
Detox and the immune system
To give the body additional support in today's world, the word "detox" is on everyone's lips. It has been with us for some time and it is not to be expected that this will quickly change. Health consciousness is increasing and people want to stay healthy as long as possible. Besides a healthy lifestyle, such as sufficient exercise and relaxation as well as a balanced diet, detox can also play a role in maintaining vitality and well-being.
Natural support through PMA Zeolite
About 80% of all immune cells are located in the intestinal wall. This alone shows how important it is to start here. Under the motto "Toxins must not be allowed to pass through the intestinal wall", the natural mineral PMA Zeolite can support "detoxing". The PMA Zeolite can bind toxins such as heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, nickel) and ammonium in the gastrointestinal tract even before they can enter the organism through the intestinal wall and endanger health. At the same time, important minerals such as magnesium, calcium, sodium and potassium are released to the body in trace amounts.
The PMA Zeolite can therefore be a great support for the strengthening of the intestinal wall and therefore also for the own immune system!
TIP: It is also important to protect the body from external stress!
Our organism has to defend itself almost daily against pollutants and toxins that burden our health. Therefore our external protective barrier - the skin - should also be strengthened and supported regularly.
A Zeolite Base Bath has a relieving effect. Because alkaline body care can strengthen the skin barrier and also support it in its function as an excretory organ.
Regular use of the Zeolite Base Bath (recommended twice a week) helps to eliminate harmful acids, reactivate the skin's natural protective function, nourish and keeps the skin supple.
