Effect of colon detoxification with psyllium husk seed on urine and blood acidity level of 23-35 years old officer
Abstract:
This research started when the change of lifestyle in each consumer lead to an insufficient amount of fruits and vegetables consumption. Especially in Thailand, we have lower fruits and vegetables consumption than WHO has recommended. This problem is leading to colon cancer, gastrointestinal disorder and chronic disease.
Therefore, this research tends to find an alternative solution using the soluble fiber from psyllium husk seed which is believed to improve the defecation as it takes short time to reabsorb into the body. Moreover it helps to bulk laxative and has high water-holding capacity which relatively non-fermentable and can form a gel. In addition, soluble fiber helps to absorb toxin in the colon.
This research will study the effect of colon detoxification when volunteers are taking psyllium husk seed 6 g./meal, by testing on blood and urine acidity level and satisfaction evaluation of defecation of volunteers by divided in to two groups control group only drink 6-8 glass of water and experimental group take psyllium husk seed with water before breakfast and lunch. During the day the volunteers must be drink 6-8 glass of water in everyday until completely 1 month.
Result, however, there were no significant changes in any blood and urine acidity level for control group and experimental group before and after treatment. However, intake of psyllium husk seed has significant effect for the helped to improve bulk laxative, small size and soft feces. Moreover, it helped to increase frequency of defecation as well.
Therefore, the consumption of psyllium husk seed was not associated with improved acid-base balance. Nevertheless the effect for the improvement of defecation.
