Your Colon Cleanse -Natural, Effective And Gentle
It is not uncommon that those familiar with the importance of a healthy colon do more than just having a hydrotherapy session once in a while… (Let’s face it, 90% of our immune system resides in the colon!)…They also eat foods that are cleansing to the colon. There are many tasty and delicious foods that act like brooms in the intestine, and consumed in conjunction can have a great effect.
Fasting With Natural Juices. A very effective way of cleaning the colon with foods is to have none.No food will assist the body to purge itself of accumulated feces in the colon. Fasting with juices will supply all the nutrients the body needs without adding anything to the colon.A juice fast will also help to detoxify and support other organs in your body besides the colon. Before undertaking a fast do consult with your physician.
Vegetables. Leafy green vegetables such as kale, broccoli and spinach has shown to have a positive effect on the colon. Maybe you were not too thrilled when your mother insisted you eat your spinach, but the truth is that even if broccoli doesn’t thrill you, there are an abundance of recipes to be found that will make any vegetable into a delicious, mouth watering side dish. Fresh spinach sauteed in some olive oil with fresh garlic make a very tasty and healthy addition to your meal.
Fruit. Fruits are some of natures most efficient colon cleansers. The natural fermentable and un- fermentable fibers found in fruits, do not only cleanse the colon rapidly, they also promote regularity. Many dried fruits, such as prunes and grapes actually help with constipation.
Whole grains. Whole grains act like little brushes in the colon. To get the cleaning action from whole grains, add whole grain breads, and whole wheat pasta, or any other whole grain to your diet.
Avoiding the wrong foods is as much a part of colon cleansing as adding healthy foods is. You should eliminate fried or fatty foods including fast food, burgers and French fries. Cook with olive oil instead of vegetable oil or butter and use sparingly.
High caloric foods devoid of nutrients such as ice cream, cakes, cookies and candy should be avoided as well. By avoiding some unhealthy foods, adding some healthy foods, and getting regular exercise you’ll come along way in keeping your colon clean.
