It is a well known fact that if you keep your colon healthy and clean then you will be happy, this can be achieved through an at home colon cleanse detox. Your intestine is your largest organ in your body and it is extremely important. It contains more nerves than any other organ in your body, in addition to your central nervous system and your brain. Due to the number of nerves it has, it is closely connected to many other organs, which means that if your colon is not 100% healthy, you will feel the effects everywhere in your body.
If you think about what the intestines do, food goes to the intestines where nutrients are extracted from the food and carried to the rest of the body. The waste product that remains is feces that contains bacteria and produces gas. The colon stays healthy by getting rid of this bacteria through waste and gas through regular movement.
What is a colon detox?
A colon detox (also known as a colon cleanse or intestinal cleanse) is a specific detox that focuses on removing harmful and unwanted toxins from the intestines. Such as bad bacteria, hardened feces, parasites, worms, and parasite eggs. This can be done through an herbal colon cleanse, a colon cleansing diet, or for the more adventurous, colonic irrigation.
If you are experiencing bloating, stomach cramps, back pain, feeling full, sluggishness, crankiness, and generally notice that your health is not up to par, then you should consider doing a colon cleanse to help with these issues.
Your colon is a haven for bad bacteria, seen as the body’s waste product or produced there and it’s nice and warm for bacteria to live. Weight gain, constipation, and fatigue may be due to the presence of harmful or unwanted substances in the colon. The advantages of colon cleansing are:
- stop constipation
- Prevents diarrhea by limiting the time harmful toxins from food spend in your body
- Proven that it can help prevent colon cancer
- weightloss
- Increased energy levels
- elevated mood
- Improvement of vision, hair, skin and nails.
- Greater concentration
- Able to cope with more stress
- Fewer colds and flu
Where do I start?
Well, after a lot of research myself, I found that ordering your diet is the best place to start. This is something you can do right now to help get you started on your journey.
Using natural products is the best way to take care of your colon, so in addition to increasing natural foods, you will need to start taking some colon cleansing supplements. For example, herbs known to kill parasites and worms, contain digestive enzymes, contain probiotics (good bacteria), stimulate the liver, gallbladder, and intestines. Herbs that do this are psyllium husk or seeds, cascara sagrada, flax seed, and slippery elm.
Transitioning to a high fiber diet, high in fruits and vegetables and few raw and processed foods will help keep unwanted toxins in the colon. The stool will continue to move and thus decrease the chance of toxins being absorbed back into the bloodstream.
Good luck!
