Loclo
Loklo is an excellent combination of different types of dietary fiber necessary to ensure digestive and intestinal motor function.
Ovate plantain or psyllium (Plantago ovata) – unlike other types of plantain, it contains the largest amount of mucus (up to 40%), which has a protective – enveloping effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa . Psyllium seed husk contains a large amount of insoluble and soluble plant fibers (cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose), some of which can be fermented by intestinal microorganisms. Softens stool, which helps relieve constipation, helps with irritable bowel syndrome, hemorrhoids. When psyllium husk comes into contact with water, it swells and forms a jelly-like mass, which acts as a bulking filler by binding water and stimulating bowel function. Plant polysaccharides act as sorbents, binding toxic substances, heavy metals, cholesterol, fatty acids, carcinogens, which reduces the risk of developing colon cancer. The effects inherent in plantain seeds are in many ways similar to the effects of pectin.
Apple pectin – actively binds water, swelling and increasing in volume. Pectin binds and removes cholesterol, heavy metals, toxic substances, enterotoxins, carcinogens from the body, and reduces the risk of colon cancer. Pectin plays an important role in lowering blood cholesterol levels and slowing down the absorption of glucose, which is important for diabetes.
Oat bran (Avena sativa) – contains the highest amount of fiber. They improve intestinal motility, reduce the absorption of cholesterol and glucose, reducing their content in the blood, and remove toxic substances and heavy metals from the body.
Guar gum (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) – obtained from the seeds of the pea tree (guar). Reduces the absorption of sugars and cholesterol, lowers blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Used in the treatment and prevention of diabetes and atherosclerosis. It has a laxative effect and normalizes intestinal microflora.
Acacia seyal (Acacia seyal) is a tree whose resin (gum arabic) increases the viscosity of the intestinal contents, which slows down digestion and reduces the absorption of glucose and lipids. Helps reduce appetite, reduces cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, binds toxic substances and removes them from the body.
Chinese cinnamon or cassia (Cinnamomum cassia) – has an antiseptic (bactericidal and fungicidal), antispasmodic effect, lowers blood sugar levels.
Broccoli (Brassica oleracea) – the substances contained in it have an antibacterial effect, killing bacteria resistant to antibiotics, and also inhibit the development of tumors.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) – has an antispasmodic, choleretic effect, reduces intoxication in liver diseases, improves the functioning of the gallbladder.
Officinalis rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) – has a choleretic and tonic effect, suppresses the vital activity of staphylococcus, streptococcus, and E. coli.
Beetroot (Beta vulgaris) is a natural antiseptic, used for disorders of the gastrointestinal microflora.
Common tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) – contains antioxidants, reduces the risk of cancer, including the stomach, pancreas, and colon.
Carrotordinary (Daucus carota) – has an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect.
Cabbagegarden (Brassica oleracea) – helps remove cholesterol from the body, reduces blood sugar and is very effective in combating constipation and hemorrhoids. Indoles have antitumor activity.
