How to do a natural colon and blood cleanse

A healthy, functioning colon can have a positive impact on the overall health of an individual. Cleansing the colon can help maintain a healthy colon and rid the area of ‘excess baggage’, thus increasing overall well-being. The following article will instruct you on how to cleanse your colon naturally, and will also provide information on how this type of cleansing can also help to cleanse your whole body.

Advantages of colon cleansing

Many health food stores and health magazines offer various types of colon cleansing goods and services. This stems from a belief in the importance of colonic health with regard to overall bodily health. Specifically, the colon provides the body with nutrients and a healthy colon can have benefits for the immune system and thus the whole body.

The theory is that every point and area on the colon corresponds to another part of the body. For example, nutrients and information are said to be delivered to areas such as the brain, bones, limbs and organs through the colon. If this area is full of toxins and other waste material, this might have a negative impact on the body. Advocates of colon cleansing state that if a certain spot in the colon that corresponds to another part of the body is ‘corrupted’, then the effect will be reflected in the corresponding part of the body. Thus, if the ‘brain spot’ is corrupted, the brain will be affected.Natural cleansing methods

Some things can be done to naturally cleanse the colon.

First of all, try to maintain a healthy diet and eating habits. The body is said to detoxify between the hours of 8 am and 12 pm, so try not to consume overly heavy foods in this time. Instead, eat fruits and vegetables and drink juices. This will help to detoxify the colon and other parts of the body.

Fiber is an excellent dietary ingredient. It can help one avoid constipation and thus will help to keep the colon clean and functional. Fiber can be obtained from fruit and vegetables, as well as from natural grain. Try to eat at least 25 grams of fiber every day.

For those who may have diverticulosis, try to avoid eating seeds as they may cause inflammation of the diverticula pockets. If possible, as a diverticulosis sufferer, you might want to avoid nuts, wheat, rye, tomatoes and cucumber.

Try doing a yearly colon cleanse. There are many colon cleansing products, usually containing herbs, which will help dissolve toxins and toxic buildup on the colonic walls. Maintaining a healthy colon can help one avoid a lot of misery and pain. The removal of toxic matter from the colon can help rejuvenate the body.
