Colon
Cleansing Diet Encourages Good Health
A colon cleansing diet will help
your body to achieve peak efficiency and help you to stay in top
shape by choosing and consuming foods easily recognized and digested
by your body. A colon cleansing diet will rid your body of unwanted
toxins and the mucoid plaque buildup known to compromise all areas
of health.
What do you eat on a colon cleansing diet?
Those on a colon cleansing diet consume at least half their body
weight in ounces of pure water every day. The water must be purified
or filtered - tap water contains chlorine, fluoride and other toxins
known to compromise health.
Whole natural (organic where possible) foods help keep your body
cleaner and better nourished. Fresh, organic, seasonal fruits and
vegetables and unrefined whole grains are the best foods to consume
while on a colon cleansing diet, along with nuts, seeds and sprouts.
Cooking most vegetables decreases their vitamin content.
Fruits are an especially important part of a colon cleansing diet
- Fruits are solvents in the colon cleansing and acid fruits are
the strongest solvents. Juice fasting is another effective colon
cleansing diet.
What can't you eat on a colon cleansing diet?
As part of your cleansing diet, you'll want to avoid red meat, coffee,
sodas (event diet!), alcohol, sugary foods and fried foods. Staying
away from nutrient poor pre-packaged, highly processed and refined
foods will also help to reduce the amount of chemicals/toxins that
the body is exposed to.
What are the benefits
of a colon cleansing diet?
A colon cleansing diet has many benefits. One of the biggest advantages
to adhering to a cleansing diet is that you eat living foods, loaded
with live enzymes and many other nutrients. Most of the enzymes
and nutrients are destroyed during the cooking process, rendering
food "dead." We still get the calories from the food but
the cleansing and protective parts are now useless. A cleansing
diet contains foods from sprouts, vegetables and low sugar fruits
that are rich in vitamins and enzymes. The only problem with most
fresh vegetables and fruits is that they have a short shelf life
which means you must buy enough to last only a few days.
Another major benefit of following a colon cleansing diet that consist
of raw foods is that it tends to be more alkaline which is great
for overall health. Some substances are acidic, like vinegar, and
some are alkaline, like soap. The pH of your blood is slightly alkaline.
Eating a diet high in acid (one high in protein and refined grains)
forces your body to work overtime to keep your blood pH constant.
Keeping your body alkaline is just as important as your body temperature.
A colon cleansing diet that consists of raw foods allows your body
to naturally detoxify itself and keep you free of disease.
Cleansing diets are a popular way to lose weight, with the added
promise of better health through detoxification of one of the body's
most important organs - the colon. In some instances, detoxification
has been said to relieve a range of everyday symptoms, including
fatigue, constipation, bad breath, headaches, joint pain and even
anxiety.
