Building rock-hard abs is like building a house. You need a solid foundation.
That “foundation” is your large intestine. Your colon.If it’s inflamed because of, well, poop build-up, all kinds of bad things can happen. Viscera somatic inhibition, for one. That’s science-speak for a muscle that shuts down when it’s on the same neurologic loop as an organ that’s inflamed.
You’ve heard of left-arm numbness when someone is having a heart attack? Same deal.
So, what can cause your colon to become inflamed? Naturally, it all starts with your diet. Add it to your list of reasons to start juicing.
Dehydration. Eating processed foods that are loaded with chemicals. Eating grains that are high in gluten. Drinking too much alcohol.
Any of those triggers can lead to constipation and an inflamed colon, which, in turn, can make it nearly impossible to erase flabby abs.
Why does this matter?
No. 1, nobody wants flabby abs.
And No. 2, having a strong core is critical to stabilizing your hips and rib cage. Without it, forget about reaching your full strength potential. Not to mention you’ll probably have to deal with a number of other recurring injuries as a result.
The lesson here is simple, but often misunderstood.
Sit-ups and ab crunches are a great way to get a six-pack. But until you correct the less visible issue of colon inflammation, a lot of your work in the gym will be time wasted. You won’t see the results you want.
Take a close look at your diet and make changes. Cut out the nasty processed foods. Stay hydrated.
And try a glass of Zip-Zap-Zing.
Here is the recipe…
Zip Zap Zing Juice
This a powerful juice to drink before a meeting and when you need extra brain power. This will give your brain the zip- zing that it needs to focus on the task at hand and get stuff done.
• 1/2 cucumber
• 1/2 beet
• 2 stalks of celery
• 1/2 lemon
• 1 ginger root
• 1 handful cilantro
• 1 handful of chard
Wash your vegetables. Place the herbs in the juicer halfway through to get the maximum benefit of the nutrients. Peel the lemon and cucumber if they are not organic. Cut the tops off of the cucumber and the beet. Process in the juicer.
Your life’s about to change.
