Surprising Benefits of Psyllium Husk for your body

Psyllium is a form of fiber made from the husks of the Plantago ovata plant’s seeds.
It’s most commonly known as a laxative. However, research shows that taking psyllium is beneficial to many parts of the human body, including the heart and the pancreas.

1.Digestive health

This means it soaks up water in your gut and makes bowel movements much easier and can help promote regularity without increasing flatulence. It can be used as a one-off to ease constipation, or it can be added to your diet to help promote regularity and overall digestive health.

Psyllium is a prebiotic — a substance needed for healthy colonies of probiotics to grow in the gut.
A healthy colony of good bacteria in the digestive system is essential for healthy immune function. Your body is better able to fight infection, reduce inflammation, and maintain healthy tissue and cells.
Besides keeping your bowel movements regular and managing a chronic condition, psyllium has the ability to soften your stool provided you drink enough water. This can come in handy with short-term ailments, such as constipation. Used in this way, it can prevent complications of constipation, such as hemorrhoids and anal fissures.

2.Heart health
Research has shown that taking soluble fiber can help people manage their cholesterol levels. Proper cholesterol regulation is important for everyone, but it’s vital for people over the age of 50.
One study shows that at least six weeks of daily psyllium intake is an effective way for people who are obese or overweight to lower their cholesterol with very few side effects.
If you’ve been told that you need to watch your cholesterol, ask your doctor if adding psyllium to a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet will help you.

Numerous studies have shown that fiber like psyllium, taken as part of a healthy diet, can help lower a person’s risk of heart disease. Psyllium can affect your heart by lowering blood pressure, improving lipid levels, and strengthening heart muscle.

3.Watching your weight
Maintaining a healthy weight is a concern for many people, especially those with a chronic condition like diabetes. Besides being good for your heart and blood sugar levels, psyllium may help you lose weight.
Because psyllium absorbs liquid in your body, it can help give you a feeling of being full. This can help you control the amount of food you eat.

4.Diabetes
People with diabetes have to be mindful of their diet to maintain a healthy balance of insulin and blood sugar . Some research has suggested that fibers like psyllium can help people maintain a healthy glycemic balance.

One study found that taking 5 grams of psyllium twice a day can help people with type 2 diabetes control their blood sugar. Another study of people with type 2 diabetes found similar results, but stressed that psyllium therapy should be tailored to the individual.
Follow all product instructions carefully. Don’t take any more than the recommended dosage unless your doctor tells you otherwise.

Psyllium fiber definitely dropped my cholesterol by 50 points and increased the good cholesterol. Pretty amazing, something the drug companies who push cholesterol meds wouldn't want any of us to know! My doctor recommended it for me when I refused to take meds with all their side affects and harm on the liver.

It’s a Godsend, I struggled with IBS symptoms, gas at night, many trips to the bathroom in the morning. Ever since I started taking psyllium I no longer even think about going to the bathroom. I go twice in the morning and that’s it, no longer have gas, and my belly feels flat. I feel light as a feather, the way I always wanted to feel. Even my knees are no longer ashy and dry, I don’t even know how that happened but it solved that too.

Thank God for Psylliums and dry skin brushing. De. Bernard Jensen has an excellent book outlining digestive disease, detoxing one’s body. You’ll look and feel decades younger. Incredible!

The ayurvedic doctors had it right psyllium and Triphala!

Taking psyllium can improve prostate issues you might ask why it's because there's less pressure from a properly functioning colon on the prostate.

The most difficult thing is to tell others what we know 😇😇😇😇

It is best if you take your doses just after a meal. Never take a dose at bedtime. If a physician has recommended psyllium husk for your child, check the label on the pack carefully to make sure that you give the correct dose for the age of your child.👍

Add a spoon of olive oil and it works even better.

Trying to verify if it interferes with medication and vitamins when taken together.

Good for her! The gal at 2:28 is saying, "No", to hole foods.

Was using it successfully for 3 weeks & now it’s causing bouts of diarrhea. Maybe I need to use it every other day instead of every day. It wakes me up at 5 am —that is another down side.

Well, I wanted an Old and Former Friend to use this instead of Eating and drinking Eggs [Eww... I know]. Chicken Eggs have a huge risk of Salmonella. Unlike her friend who I met 3 times and a great Frenemy of my Current Love interest. SHE BEGS others and sort of forces others to become Vegan. I don't approve stuff that have eggs because there's a huge health risk and I hope she'll know why her stomach and probably will develop breast Cancer in the near future. Being a Celiac isn't the problem, is common Knowledge. I am proving her that I can Adopt and raise a 1up on my Vegan Diet. One time My sushi Sensei asked me "Are you Allergic to Gluten?" My Response is "Why does it matter?" Today I've realized that being a Celiac is painful but I've Fully Adapted this Diet in a Vegan Fashion. But I lost a ton of Weight because I've Adopted this friend's Specific diet.

Yeah, A lot of Gluten Free items uses this in the VEGAN stuff because it's a lot more convenient for Vegan Celiacs like me, rather than to make it Lactose Ovo Vegetarian only. Yeah, Once I go Gluten Free I NEVER wanted to go back to WHEAT. #NOMEATNOWHEATNOPROBLEM #AdoptCeliacVegan #GoCeliacVegan #1yearlater #adaptandimprovise #CeliacVeganArtist #2classicdietsin1lifestyle
