FAQ
  • Why is it important to have a healthy gut? + - Many experts believe that a healthy gut is the foundation of a healthy life. Research shows that the gut influences many aspects of our health way beyond everyday digestion. But first, to understand if our gut health is poor we need to know the signs of a healthy gut:
     
    1. You don’t have any signs of discomfort after eating such as gas, bloating, heartburn, or abdominal pain.
    2. You have 1 – 3 healthy, well-formed bowel movements per day, without straining.
    3. You don’t have undigested food, mucous or blood in your stool.
     
    It’s important to have at least one healthy bowel movement a day, with the time from ingestion and egestion between 12 and 24 hours. But for many, this process can take days. When food is only partially digested is stays in the gut and ferments, creating toxins that destroy the mucous lining of the intestinal tract. It is essential to have a healthy mucous lining as it acts as a filter between the small intestine and bloodstream. Our job is ensuring that this mucous lining is the healthiest it can be.
  • What does fibre do for your gut? + - Fibre keeps things moving. Having a sufficient amount in your diet is essential to maintaining a healthy gut. Fibre is a complex carbohydrate, but unlike other carbohydrates, which are broken down by the body to provide fuel in the form of sugar, fibre cannot be digested by the human body. Fibre brings a plethora of positives to people’s lives, especially when it comes to constipation. Instead of using harsh laxatives such as Senna and Casgara Sagrada, Renew Life encourages gently hydrating the colon by using non-irritating herbs like cape aloe and rhubarb. Supporting a healthy and hydrated digestive tract.
  • Why do I experience burning in my chest? + - If it isn’t love, it’s probably Acid Reflux. This condition stems from hydrochloric acid that enters the esophagus from the stomach, irritating it. This leads to an uncomfortable burning sensation, especially when certain foods and beverages are consumed. Renew Life® has focused on using herbal ingredients that are effective, natural and gentle on the digestive system. View all frequently asked questions.
  • What are the two types of fibre? + - Many people don’t know that fibre is broken down in two unique types: soluble and insoluble. Both are important for gut health, but they work in different ways. Soluble fibre breaks down within the digestive system and dissolves in water, turning into a gel like substance. Soluble fibre provides benefits that protect against certain heart conditions and diabetes. This type of fibre can be found in many foods, such as apples, carrots, barley, legumes, oranges and peas. Insoluble fibre, on the other hand, cannot break down, and stays close to a solid known as ‘roughage’. This kind of fibre works through the digestive system, sweeping the walls of the bowel clean. Sources of insoluble fibre include wheat bran, flax seeds, and fruit and vegetable skins. View all frequently asked questions.
