The health of the body is maintained by the immune system and this should be maintained by a good intake of healthy foods. The part of the body that regulates the health of the immune system is the colon.
It also aids the digestion process and the water balance is also maintained. Therefore when the colon becomes ill, the body gets piled up with toxins. This is because the toxins in the body get increased due to the malfunctioning of the colon.
It is highly interesting to know that during our life period, around 30,000 liters of liquid pass through the intestines, along with an additional 100 tons of variety of foods. This indicates that the intestines consist of more than 30 pounds of highly toxic waste and fecal deposits.
When these toxins enter the bloodstream, they can cause irreparable damage to the different organs present in the body. When your colon is affected by toxins, the most common symptom that would appear are constipation, skin problems, arthritis, hair problems, diabetes, kidney and liver problems, excessive weight, etc.

Why Flaxseeds are used?
Flaxseeds are used because they’re rich in fiber that is crucial for digestion. The guts respond positively for fiber as well. Flaxseeds are rich in soluble and insoluble fiber.
The fiber that adds to the contents inside the intestine is the insoluble fiber as the name suggests. Thus, this type of fiber makes bowel movement better and makes the elimination of waste easier.
The other fiber, the soluble one, absorbs the water content in the intestine and stomach and forms a gel. This slows the digestion process and aids the absorption of nutrients from the food.
Once you consume the flaxseeds, then it increases the satiety and you will also lose the surplus. The flaxseeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that can reduce the digestive system’s inflammation and prevent constipation.
Flaxseeds have the capacity to decrease the high level of bad cholesterol, and this reduces the chances of cardiovascular illnesses.
