With the climate comes a good Mediterranean diet which is rich in vegetables, little meat and lots of olive oil. It is quite easy to be a vegetarian here as the Turks have become masters of making tasty dishes with the very few ingredients they use. With any food dish, yoghurt is served up, either with herbs or cucumber or other vegetables.
The Turks slather the yoghurt all over their main course, so naturally they have a very good and healthy way of eating. In our high street there are no fast food chains. You will probably find these in bigger cities, but in our village there are none, luckily and we cannot remember the last time we had burgers and fries.
A Turkish friend of mine went to England for Christmas with her English husband. There, one Sunday, she was presented with a proper British roast dinner will loads and vegetables and roast potatoes. Imagine the host's horror when my friend went to the fridge and got the yoghurt out and spooned it all over her food!
However, I have not heard of any Turks here who suffer from bowel complaints so far so there must be something about their diet that is right. These days some Turks do get fatter as there are little influences that are definitely western. They eat vast amounts of white bread that must have been made with refined flour. They also snack on crisps and chips occasionally.
If our system does get clogged up it is almost always the case that our diet is at fault. Too much starch, refined sugars and fats are consumed in the Western world, sometimes with disastrous consequences for our poor digestive system.
This is why a Colon cleanser has become very widely used in our society to try and get rid of a bacterial overload. When bad bacteria become too prolific, they cause our digestive system to get out of kilter. We become sluggish and we start suffering from candida and other nasty symptoms.
There are many products on the market that will help you with your predicament. If research is done on the internet where so much information about the efficacy of various remedies, one will soon find out from other people which brands are the most helpful in the treatment of bloating, sluggishness and fatigue.
Of course, if you do not like the thought of taking pills or powders, there are plenty of things that you can do to keep the flora in your gut in balance. The first thing that must be done is to get all the processed and refined foods out of your diet. These are really bad for clogging up the system.
