The Benefits
of Colon Cleansing and Detoxification
Colon cleansing helps restore the proper functioning of our colon in eliminating harmful toxins
and wastes from our bodies which is vital to our overall health.
An occasional, gentle colon cleanse can help ensure good
digestion and elimination and is a solid foundation in any preventive
health program.
The colon's purpose is to expel the toxins and wastes that it
collects from the other organs of the body. If the colon is
not operating efficiently and is congested, then it may be recycling waste back into the body which
can accumulate in our organs. This is called "leaky gut syndrome"

How can You benefit from Colon Cleansing?
If your body is showing signs that it needs colon cleansing, you may be experiencing some of these symptoms...
- chronic indigestion
- diarrhea
- constipation
- poor immune system response - frequent colds, flu, etc.
- chronic fatigue
- anemia
- unexplained rapid weight gain or weight loss
- high LDL cholesterol
- allergies
One of the most frequent bowel
problems that people experience today is occasional constipation.
Constipation can often be attributed to a low fiber diet and
the lack of sufficient water, which can cause our fecal matter
to become condensed and compressed in the colon (large intestine).
Ideally, you should have at least 1 to 2 bowel movements a day. Any less than this can mean that
you're constipated. Bowel transit time through the digestive system should be approximately twelve hours. Any more than this allows wastes to sit in the colon too long, which can cause problems as
toxins are re-absorbed into the bloodstream instead of being eliminated. A colon cleansing program can help to correct these issues.
Colon cleansing can be simple and gentle if your health is generally good and you're not constipated. In this case, you
could use a colon cleansing diet and make sure that you drink enough water throughout the day (8 to 10
eight ounce glasses). Several cups of warm water first thing in the morning on a empty stomach can be a great help.
Colon Cleansing Diet
A colon cleansing diet consists of...
- green leafy high chlorophyll plants
- fruits, vegetables and whole grains for fiber
- high-quality or home-made plain (non-flavored) yogurt and cultured foods for beneficial bacteria
- at least eight glasses of water per day (64 ounces)
If you're constipated or have health issues like constipation, chronic fatique, fibromyalgia or more serious
issues, you might want to consider a more intensive colon cleansing plan. This may include using an herbal preparation or colon hydrotherapy (colonics).
Important Facts About the Colon
- Lack of fiber and water in the diet is
the main cause of occasional constipation
- The small intestines are where most nutrition
is absorbed
- Stress can affect nutrient absorption
- The large intestine absorbs minerals and
water
- When the membrane of the large colon is
unhealthy (impacted with wastes), it cannot assimilate and
absorb vitamins and minerals as efficiently as a healthy colon
- The health of the entire body is
reinforced when the intestinal system is healthy
The colon is often overlooked and ignored, but you'll feel the benefits if you make colon cleansing a regular part of your life.
