Colon Cleansing
Colon cleansing is a process which everyone should do once or twice a year. Most people are unaware of the build up of toxins residing in your colon. Many symptoms can be attributed to these toxins such as: constipation, acne, candida and sluggishness. Our environment can also lead to a polluted colon.
Cleansing will aid in ridding our bodies of toxins created by an unhealthy diet, constant use of antibiotics, and environmental pollution and chemicals. When we cleanse the colon, we are also cleansing our small intestines, large intestines and stomach.
So how is one to know which products to turn to for a good sound colon cleanse? There are a number of products now available through online ordering or at your local health food store.
The most popular ones are Colonix, Homozon, OxyPowder, and Dual Action Cleanse. Most cleanses are a three to eight week process and typically do not require any dietary changes. Although as you are removing toxins and rot from your gut, it is wise to try to eliminate over processed foods and sugars from your regular diet as these are always unhealthy choices for the body to have to deal with. OxyPowder and Homozon are oxygen based products which seem to be the most effective in cleansing the entire colon versus most herbal cleansers only scrape through the center of the colon and do not rid the lining of built up waste.
Additionally, there are some popular celebrity colon cleanses out there that you have probably heard about:
The Master Cleanse - utilizes a daily drink of lemonade with maple syrup and cayenne pepper
The Almighty Cleanse - the reviews on this one make me want to steer clear
The Lemonade Cleanse - same as the master cleanse (Beyonce's diet)
The top five ways to cleanse your colon are colon irrigations, enemas, herbal supplements, laxatives and oxygen based cleansers. As with anything there are pros and cons to each method. A little research up front will help you decide which one is right for you and your lifestyle. Laxatives and some herbal cleansers may make it difficult to leave home, so see what others are saying about them before making an investment.
The important factor is taking some form of a colon cleanse once or twice a year to strengthen your body and rid your body of wastes which many doctors believe can attribute to diseases such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes. If you wander out onto the internet to any of the sites, you'll see the most incredible photos of things that have been pulled from people's bowels. It's pretty hard to look at and not make you want to run to your nearest health food store for a fix.
