Your colon's main job is to squeeze water and nutrients out of your food as it's digested to keep you hydrated and nourish you. When you don't drink enough water, eat too fast and too much, the food inside your colon dries out and you may become very constipated. The first sign that something is really wrong with you is when you get every kind of irritating digestive problem you can imagine. Things like constipation, sour stomach, diarrhea, gas, bloating and acid reflux.

Even if you have a bowel movement everyday, you can still have problems. That fecal matter has to go somewhere, and your organs and skin gets the worst of it. You get more sores, colds, allergies, flu and rashes, plus other things. A sick digestive tract means a sick body.

A Doctor Panel at Yale School says, "You must use a multi-strain Probiotic Formula for real results." This should contain many different types of cultures. The colon needs a good cleansing session. This will enhance immunity and energy in record speed.

Holidays are a time for eating. Unfortunately, a lot of times, people decide to diet at this time. Bad timing! Eat whatever you wish at the Thanksgiving dinner table. Just less of it. The less you put on your plate, the less you'll eat. Low-density food, like fruits and vegetables, are bulky and filling, but they don't carry a lot of calories. Fluff up your food. This will add air and volume. Here's a tip, if you must snack, trick your taste buds by filling up on air-filled treats, like low-fat yogurt or butter-free popcorn.

The average person eats more at a holiday meal. Just make sure that you eat lots of fiber. It will fill you up. You'll find fiber in whole-grain foods, legumes, leafy vegetable, fruits, nuts and most vegetables. One of the best things about fiber is that some of its calories don't count. Experts say that eating a diet high in fiber can trick your stomach into feeling full with fewer calories than you would normally eat.

Most people would agree that pleasure of food lies in the eating. As you eat your Thanksgiving meal, just chew longer and take awhile to finish your dinner. Talk a lot, visiting with family and friends as you eat, is will slow down the food intake. But the food will still taste delicious.

Happy Thanksgiving! May you experience God's peace and joy this holiday!

"The LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and I am helped.
My heart leaps for joy
and I will give thanks to him..."
-Psalm 28:7
