Could You Benefit From a Colon Cleansing?

An good colon cleansing program should commence by eliminating the surplus waste in your colon: the last part of your entire digestive system so it obviously makes sense on so many levels. Unfortunately the majority of men and women who do a detox are under the illusion that they should start with more radical cleansing with treatments such as liver flushes, kidney and gallbladder cleanses, parasite and candida cleanses without first doing a thorough bowel cleanse quite frankly this actually makes no sense whatsoever.

If you don't clean your colon first, the toxins that are purged out from cleansing will only circulate back into your body, causing more problems in the future it like un blocking the sink when the entire drain is backed up.

A major reason why most people do colon cleansing is because they have constipation. Constipation is due to a lack of fiber in your diet, as well as not drinking enough water. These two factors lead to our bowels becoming more condenses, compressed, and hard. This puts a burden on our transit system, and we have to strain to eliminate bowels - causing constipation.

If you have constipation, the transit time of your wastes is extremely slow, and you often strain during bowel movements. This straining can eventually cause hemorrhoids, hernias and other bad problems. This is why eliminating constipation through cleansing is so important - to prevent future problems.

There is also a much bigger problem. The longer your transit time, the more time your bowels/toxins spend in your colon. Fats start to rancify, and food remains start to ferment. The result is a toxic colon, prone to diseases.

As long as your body is exposed to these toxins on a daily basis, the higher your chance of developing serious diseases such as colon cancer. Many people believe 1 bowel movement is enough, but the truth is you need at least 2 bowel movements to eliminate all the digestive remains in your system.

In addition, most of us consume foods that were not meant to be digested by the human body. We are all different, and one person's healthy snack is another person's poison. My friend, Carol can't tolerate any grains whatsoever - whenever she eats bread, she breaks out and gets constipated. If you eat foods you have a sensitivity or intolerance for, histamine is released, and a whole deadly cycle is started.

Constipation, as well as diarrhea are signs you need to clean your colon out. Most major diseases stem from a toxic colon - the colon is one organ that directly and indirectly affects most of the other organs out there.

Most of my friends tell me they don't need bowel cleansing since they have so few bowel movements. This is opposite of the truth. The less bowel movements you have, the less healthy your system is. If you're having just 4-5 bowel movements a week, your colon will become a toxic environment, eventually leading to serious diseases, and an early death. Poor and irregular bowel movements for many years is just bad for your health.

Colon cleansing is not just a regimen to lose weight, or eliminate constipation, or improve the way we look and feel. It's crucial to maintain long-term health. It gives us more energy, and prolongs our long. By cleansing regularly, we will have a lower chance on not developing cancers and diseases when we get old.
