Colon Cleansing Topics

If you’ve realized the importance of colon cleansing, you may now be at a crossroads trying to decide what type of cleanser to use. You could create your own colon cleanser from a recipe or purchase a ready-to-use cleanser. Below are some details regarding both types of cleansers and the duties involved in each process.
Let’s start with homemade colon cleansing. Most recipes for do-it-yourself cleansers are quite simple. As with any detoxification process, one is at risk of losing important vitamins, minerals, and fluids. That is why it is highly recommended that you take a probiotic and consume plenty of water during your cleanse.
Here are a few simple recipes that are easy to put together. It is recommended that you do not administer the cleanse until after you have had a bowel movement. As always, the sites these recipes were obtained from offer a warning to consult your doctor before any type of cleansing recipe is attempted.

Recipe #2: (candida-cure-recipes.com)

In the morning, before taking any foods, prepare the following:
2 quarts (8 cups) of pure, quality drinking water
1 heaping tablespoon of good grey sea salt
Heat the mixture like you would a pot of tea, stirring until the salt completely dissolves. The liquid should taste noticeably salty. Add a little more salt, if you need, to get a “salty broth”.

Over the course of the next half hour to 45 minutes, sip the warm salt water. Buffer it with lemon or lime juice if you have trouble with the salty taste.

While homemade recipes are okay for some, others of us prefer just to buy a cleanser that has already been prepared for us. There are so many products out there to choose from that it can often seem a bit overwhelming at first. Below are a few of the more popular ones, but you can always do some research on the internet to find one that is perfect for you.

Colonix seems to be one of the most popular colon cleansers at the moment. This supplement swells up into a spongy mass in the intestines which helps to push out excess waste and toxins. This product is loaded with fiber and is sure to get your colon in a healthy state in no time!

Oxy-Powder is another popular one, as you don’t have to mess about with mixing shakes or drinks. It’s comes in capsule form and—best of all—won’t keep you glued to the toilet. You can expect 3 – 5 bowel movements a day for the initial 7-day cleanse, and then lower your dosage to a “maintenance” level to keep your colon in clean, working order.

Perfect Cleanse is, yet again, another popular choice on the market. This one actually comes in three steps: 1. Purify – liver cleanse, 2. Capture – fiber cleanse to detoxify the colon, 3. Remove – supports your body during toxin removal. These are capsule form and are reviewed by customers as being very high value for the price.
Whichever product or recipe you choose, please remember to follow all instructions and guidelines, as well as adding a probiotic and lots of water to your cleanse—and enjoy a healthier lifestyle!

Did you know that colon cancer is one of the top three most commonly diagnosed cancers in the United States? That fact is so easy for most of us to overlook—until it affects us directly. Luckily, there are preventative measures that can be taken to greatly reduce your risk for colon cancer.

Firstly, it is best to address your diet, as this not only has a huge affect on colon blockage, but also your general health and wellbeing. Inwardly, our bodies have not changed a great deal in the past thousands of years. Unfortunately, the foods we eat today are as unnatural as ever with so many processed meats and refined sugars. Our body struggles more to digest and absorb man-made foods, and as a result excess particles of food and fat end up clogging the intestines. So keep in mind that the best food to consume is natural, organic food.

The best preventative action to this buildup, in conjunction with a healthy diet, is the use of a colon cleansing product. You may choose to buy a product, or you could find a suitable recipe and create one yourself. Just as our teeth obtain a plaque buildup after eating food, our intestines form a similar plaque called mucoid plaque. This plaque naturally forms a thin layer that is intended to be flushed out of the body. Due to a poor diet—and even stress!—this plaque can build up and solidify, adding many pounds to the weight of one’s intestines. Doesn’t it make you wonder about the state of your own intestines? Using a colon cleansing product is an excellent way to aid your body in flushing not only mucoid plaque buildup, but also excess feces and fat particles that cling to the inner intestinal walls.

Lastly, one may also detoxify the intestines by a temporary diet of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables, fiber supplements, and plenty of water. However, if you choose this detoxification process, remember that you should also take a probiotic supplement to ensure that your body does not miss out on necessary vitamins and minerals during the toxin flush. Flaxseed is also a very popular aid in bowel cleansing as it absorbs water and expands in the colon, helping to flush out any accumulated blockage.
Over time, the intestines should produce a much quicker bowel transit time as the blockage is no longer warping the intestines. This will leave you feeling much more energetic as your body will not have to retain as much energy for the digestive process.

Remember, colon cleansing should be done on a regular basis. Bowel movements should occur at least once a day, therefore after a colon cleanse, it is recommended that you keep your diet rich in fiber to aid in bowel movement regularity. Whichever form of colon cleansing you choose, do be sure to follow instructions closely—whether it be a purchased product or a recipe for a homemade cleanser—and enjoy a healthier, more energetic you!

It is easy to get caught up in bad eating habits, and we all know the effect that fatty and unnatural foods have on our weight, but have you ever considered the impact that your food can have on your intestines?
When we eat, the food is broken down by acid in the stomach. Once it leaves the stomach, the food is broken down even further in the intestines, where nutrients are absorbed. It is inevitable that some of the fecal matter becomes stuck to the walls of the intestines. Sometimes, especially when one has a less-than-perfect diet, the intestines require a bit of help in clearing out the excess buildup of feces. Many people are unaware of this, as well as the negative impact it can have on one’s body causing various ailments. Constipation, hemorrhoids, and ulcerative colitis (Crohn Disease) are just a few of the problems caused by an unclean colon.

We all know what it’s like to be constipated once in a while, and I think it’s agreeable to say that it is a very unpleasant experience—one that can be avoided by regular colon cleansing. Another factor linked to build-up in the colon is obesity. If you think about how much fecal matter could build up in a person’s intestines by the age of 30, it would be reasonable to assume that several pounds of feces and undigested meat could be residing in the intestines! Obviously colon cleansing alone will not cure obesity; however it will, in conjunction with a healthy diet, help to reduce one’s weight and set them on a path to a much healthier body.

Other positive effects of colon cleansing are a noticeable increase in energy and clearer skin. Sluggishness and acne are just a few of the ways our body is trying to tell us that it’s struggling with toxins. And that’s exactly what toxins do—they’re toxic to the body and prevent it from functioning properly. Many of us understand what it’s like to feel sluggish, especially when we slack off on eating healthy diets, but our skin is also an important organ that our body uses to dispose of hazardous entities. When the body becomes too burdened with excess pollutants, it begins to push it through the skin’s pores, which results in acne and other topical sores such as boils.

It is recommended to treat yourself to a colon cleanse periodically, especially if you become fatigued, weak, develop muscle pain, or if you start gaining weight. There are many different products to choose from, but you may also find recipes to create your own cleanser. Regardless of the type of cleanser you choose, be a store-bought cleanser or home-made, there is usually a guideline to follow in regards to your diet for the duration of the cleanse. This diet usually consists of fresh fruit and vegetables—and any other natural, easy-to-digest foods. Be sure to drink plenty of water and take a probiotic or vitamin supplement as it is easy to become dehydrated during a cleanse.

Please keep in mind that it could be harmful if you use a colon cleansing agent too often. A steady, moderate usage is recommended for any colon cleanser, but do make sure that you follow all instructions included with your chosen cleanser or recipe, and if you have any questions, simply consult your doctor.

Here is a question for you to ponder: If the United States is one of the most developed countries regarding medicine and health care, why is it also so high in sickness and obesity? A medicine cabinet full of prescriptions and a bodyfull of discomfort is not uncommon in most American households. We usually treat our symptoms at the doctor’s office, but the culprit may be hiding in another cabinet in our homes: the pantry.

Most of our favorite foods, especially the pre-packaged grab-and-go staples, are likely providing us with more than convenient preparation and full stomachs. The typical “process” of many processed foods involves stripping the product of its nutrtive value and replacing it with preservatives and additives. These replacements are sometimes even capable of creating a desire to eat more of them! In fact, the cravings we get for junk food are probably caused by eating the junk food in the first place. Not because it is something we like, but because the body forms an almost addictive reaction to the substances placed in the foods.

When you purchase an item such as a Sundae or Ice Cream cone, you may be relatively confident you know what your are eating- milk, sugar, some chocolate, etc. If you were to see the actual ingredients, however, you may be surprised to find a long list of names that you’ve probably never heard of before. These add-ins have been linked to a variety of ailments including diabetes and heart disease.

So, how do you break the cycle? A good place to start is with a colon cleanse to rid your body of the many toxins placed in it by these “foods.” Once your body is a clean slate, you can begin refilling it with good, natural foods. Going organic with your produce is the best place to begin, though a simple replacement of processed foods with fresh will make a substantial difference. It won’t be easy to kick the junk food habit, but knowing you are taking care of your body will bee well worth your efforts.
