Slide 17: Intestinal System Overview
Intestinal System Overview • Also known as our “sewer system” • The intestinal system forms the lower part of the digestive tract, which secretes mucus, eliminates waste products and is responsible for reabsorbing water and electrolytes. • It is a functioning organ, not just a tube.
Slide 18: Intestinal System Anatomy
Intestinal System Anatomy • The colon consists of: – Cecum – Ascending colon – Transverse colon – Descending colon – Sigmoid – Rectum
Slide 19: Colon Physiology Simplified
Colon Physiology Simplified • Your colon, also known as lower bowel, is only 5-6 ft long. • The cecum, at the beginning of the ascending colon, receives water, fiber and foods the body is unable to break down from the small intestines. • The contents are then moved through the four defined areas. •
Slide 20: Colon Physiology Simplified
Colon Physiology Simplified • Much of the water and mineral salts are reabsorbed into the body – If colon is toxic, then it also reabsorbs some of those toxins in this process, which leads to autotoxicity, aka leaky gut. • The remaining semisolid matter to be excreted is about 50-60% water combined

Slide 28: When the colon isn't happy…
When the colon isn’t happy… • When our transit time is slow, the rest of our body is affected. • If waste remains in the colon too long, too much water is reabsorbed, and we become constipated…and food putrefies. • It allows toxins to build in the lymphatic system, intestines and the bloodstream. •
