COLON CLEANSING NATURALLY
Health problems such as constipation, lack of energy and abdominal pain results from irregular bowel habits brought about by consuming foods that influences a lot waste to build up inside the colon. We take in generous quantities of food products daily that contribute to such condition. These are artificial sweeteners, caffeine, sugar, white flour (this is a type of flour where most of the bran and wheat germ has been removed), microwave-cooked food and deep fried foods which results to toxin deposits within the colon.
One of the safest method of cleansing our colon is the natural way. One of which is to analyze and plan our meal. Our colon cleansing diet should involve adequate amounts of fiber , 25-30 grams daily in water form or food.
Sufficient water intake is essential for any body system to function properly. To trigger the peristaltic action of involved systems in our body naturally, we should drink adequate amounts of water. Peristalsis is the movement of the stomach, upper and lower intestine to transport or move its contents to the next organ that will process it. For example, a factory that makes sheets of steel have machines that melt the steel and form the sheets. Without enough lubrication on the hinges or parts of the machine, it would slow down or get interrupted by stoppage. So is peristalsis, if there is not much water, the body reacts by conserving its body reserves of water by slowing the peristaltic movement of the organs involve. Consequently there will be delayed emptying of organ contents to their proper reservoir, thus, delayed emptying of wastes, more time for bacteria build up.
The recommended amount of water intake basing on weight is half of your weight in ounces. half of his or her weight in ounces of pure non-carbonated water. Thus, if your weight is 120 pounds, you should drink as much as 60 ounces of water or non-carbonated drinks, about 1.7 or 2 liters. Along with increased fiber in diet, the colon gets back to its well-balanced functioning over time.
Another form of cleansing the colon is by drinking herbs. One common form of herbal colon cleansing kind is the tea leaf. Tea leaves extract aids in bowel movement, thereby preventing formation of toxins as well as killing the harmful bacteria and parasites while improving the function of colon muscles to promote natural and regular bowel movements.
All herbs that supports colon cleansing also have liver cleansing and cathartic actions. Aloe leaf, senna, cascara sagrada, ginger, and cayenne pepper help eliminate unwanted components from the colon by stimulating bowel movements. Garlic, known for its antihypertensive properties also helps in killing colon bactiera as well as preventing gas formation.
With advanced technology, some of the herbal plants are processed and presented to the market as capsules or powders. There’s no fear of mistaking a plant for something its not and get harmed instead. Apparently, our colon’s health depend on the lifestyle we keep in terms of food preferences.
