Psyllium also slows down the rate that glucose is metabolized in the body so it helps to keep blood sugar levels more even. It has also been found to lower serum lipid cholesterol levels. It appears to bind with cholesterol and carry it out of the body. It seems to really have an effect on lowering the low-density lipoproteins. Let's talk a little about toxins.
Toxins are ever present in our culture.
They are in the air we breathe, they're in things that we put in our bodies like foods, fried foods, foods with preservatives, and foods that are sprayed with pesticides and herbicides. It's also possible that people could be somewhat toxic because digested food is not moving through their bodies the way nature had intended. For example, eating a meal is a fine thing to do, but if the food stays stuck in your colon and is in there too long, it could have a toxic effect on you. This can result in an allergic reaction or a feeling of being bloated or sick to your stomach. This brings us to the digestive system.
