Some of the waste and nutrients that our bodies are unable to digest can accumulate in the intestine, putting our health at risk and contributing to conditions such as overweight or chronic fatigue.
The easiest way to eliminate all these residues and toxins that accumulate in the intestine on a daily basis is to eat foods rich in fiber, which also help promote intestinal transit and fight constipation.
Below we explain how to prepare a drink that cleanses the colon and fights constipation, thanks to the fiber, vitamins and minerals in each of its ingredients.
Apple:
It is a fruit rich in vitamins and pectin, a soluble fiber that helps us improve intestinal transit and feel fuller longer.
Flaxseed:
These are grains rich in fiber and omega 3. They help lighten digestion, improve nutrient absorption and improve cardiovascular health.
Chia seeds:
Also rich in fiber, they have great purifying properties and are low in calories.
Honey:
This superfood has so many benefits that it’s hard to summarize them all. It is antioxidant, lowers cholesterol and helps you lose weight.
To make the drink:
Blend the chopped apple with a tablespoon of flaxseed. Then add a tablespoon of chia seeds, and wait a few minutes until they soften. Finally, add the honey, mix and drink daily on an empty stomach for 2 weeks.
