A
Colon Cleansing Diet Is Good For Your Health
Your colon: it is the body’s
waste management system. When you don’t take care of it properly,
it affects your body and your well-being. You can experience issues
like kidney infections, abdominal cramps, constipation and even
toe-nail fungus, according to Ken Babal, a certified nutritionist.
This is why a colon cleansing diet is essential to your health.
A colon cleansing diet can be
less intrusive than a procedure like colon hydrotherapy. Colon hydrotherapy
involves inserting a hose into your rectum and washing out toxins
with water in different temperatures and with various amounts of
pressure. This process can be expensive and take about an hour to
complete. If you want something less intense, try a colon cleansing
diet to accomplish similar results.
A colon cleansing diet consists
of four main items: fiber, green foods, fermented foods and water.
Fiber:
- Vegetables, nuts, beans and whole grains—these
items are high in fiber
- Fiber sweeps out debris from the colon
- Fiber helps stimulate the colon to increase
bowel movements
- Insoluble and soluble fiber is needed daily
for healthy bowel movements
- Insoluble fiber prevents constipation; soluble
fiber prevents harmful bacteria from accumulating
Green Foods:
- Wheatgrass, barley grass and other green
foods are essential in a colon cleansing diet
- These foods contain chlorophyll, which helps
repair tears in the colon
Fermented Foods:
- Loads of carbohydrates and not enough fiber
result in a low number of friendly bacteria in the colon. Fermented
foods are good for a colon cleansing diet because they increase
the body’s friendly bacteria content.
Water:
- Is important in a colon cleansing diet because
it helps wash out toxins
The colon has a huge part in absorbing
necessary nutrients and flushing out the toxins the body doesn’t
need. Still, this organ needs your help to make this happen in an
efficient way; a colon cleansing diet is a good place to start.
