Colon Cleanse - Things You Need To Know

Think of your colon as the waste management station of your body. All of the cells and tissues in your body – and your major organ of detoxification, the liver – rely upon a well-functioning colon so they can cleanse your body of toxins. Colon cleansing, also known as bowel detoxification, is the process of removing excess waste from the colon. The colon is another name for the large intestine which is the last portion of the digestive tract for digested food waste to travel through on its way to be expelled through the anus. In adults the large intestine is usually around two and a half inches in diameter and five feet in length. 

It is estimated that the average person is exposed to over 123 toxic chemicals each day from food, water, air, stress and personal care products. If your colon gets backed up, waste can back up into the rest of your digestive tract and eventually, into your kidneys and liver. A liver that is sluggish and clogged-up from toxins creates a vicious cycle where a toxic colon poisons the liver and the congested liver slows down.

Approximately 90% of Americans have clogged colon, mostly due to our poor diet habits. The average person has between 7 – 10 pounds of old fecal matter in their colon, even with a bowel movement each day. It is possible to store up to 25 lbs of fecal waste in the colon. A clean colon will help reduce pain in the joints and excess strain on your heart. Improves the look and strength of hair, skin and nails. Restores energy levels and decreases the build up of bad cholesterol. Have bad breath? More than likely, it is due to an unhealthy or backup colon.

Below is a list of symptoms that are a guideline to see if you might be in need of a colon cleansing:

·         Frequent fatigue and low energy

·         Flatulence

·         gas and bloating

·         Excess Weight

·         Irritability Bad-breath foul-smelling stools

·         Recurring headaches

·         Constipation

·         Protruding belly

·         Powerful food cravings

·         Skin problems

When you are experiencing some kind of skin diseases that keeps on coming back even if you are treating it, then something is not right in your internal organs. If you are experiencing a metallic after taste on your tongue, it means that your system is already full of toxins and chemicals.
Colonics, enemas and colemas all use pure water to hydrate the muscles of your colon, loosening up old, hardened fecal matter so that it can be safely eliminated.  Negative side effects are few if any minor nausea, fatigue or headaches at the start of a colon-cleansing. The benefits, however, far outweigh any minor side effects.
