Everyone can benefit from a good colon cleansing program since it can improve health and well-being. An ideal way to start a colon cleansing program is by removing the waste already in the colon. Detoxification may be required to help in eliminating some of this waste.

Detoxification is the process of ridding the body of toxins by neutralizing them as well as clearing excess mucus and congestion in the colon. Most of the toxins came from the food that we eat, drugs we take or through environmental exposure.

Why should we clean our colon?

Regular bowel movements are an important aspect of healthy living since it is the body’s way of removing waste from its system. An irregular bowel movement can result in various diseases. Most of the food that we eat affects our bowel movements. Food that contains refined sugar or white flour, as well as antibiotics-filled meats tend to hinder normal bowel movements.

To prevent further colon problems, all congestions and toxins must be removed — what better way to do this than through a colon cleansing procedure. The most commonly experienced bowel movement problem is constipation. Constipation occurs when toxic waste as well as digestive waste is stuck in the colon for quite a length of time. The stocking up of waste causes it to solidify, thus resulting with difficulty in moving the waste out of the bowels.

Moreover, the longer the exposure of the body to putrefying waste in the intestine, the more chance for the development of poisonous gas that may enter the bloodstream resulting to the irritation of some organs and joints. Many people believe that many diseases begin with a toxic bowel. This is the reason why regular bowel movements are a must. Aside from that, putrefied waste that remains in the intestine provides harmful bacteria and parasites with an ideal environment for incubating severe diseases.

Likewise, the alternating case of constipation and diarrhea is also an indication that there is toxic waste in the intestines that needs to be flushed out. An inability to totally and completely rid the intestines of waste may lead to some serious health problems like cancer and immune system dysfunctions.

A good colon cleansing program or procedure will help in effectively removing wastes and toxins in the intestines and ensuring regular bowel movements.

There are recommended colon-cleansing materials that are readily available at home or can be easily purchased. The materials used for fasting are water, juices, raw fruits and vegetables. Fasting is one great way of cleaning the colon since it enables the self-digestion of most inferior and impure materials as well as some of the metabolic waste deposited in the intestine. Fasting also has a side effect of being a great way to lose weight.

Probiotics are also considered effective for any colon-cleansing endeavor. Like the materials used for fasting, probiotics are also easily and readily available at home or can be purchased. Some of the products that contain probiotics are yogurt, Japanese Miso, Tempeh, as well as some cheeses are thought to contain probiotic bacteria that can help in replenishing good bacteria in the intestine.

The only problem with these products is that you may never be completely sure that the products really do contain the friendly bacteria we need. Moreover, it is also difficult to know the types of bacteria that are present in these products.

So to be sure, choose natural foods like bananas, garlic and onions all known to contain probiotic bacteria. There are also probiotic supplements that are enteric-coated. This enables the friendly bacteria to survive the acidic and sterile environment of the stomach and make their way to the colon.

Please remember to consult your doctor for advice prior to making any changes to your lifestyle.
