4 Natural Ways of Cleansing the Colon


Our body has both an external and an internal system. The external is what we see and the internal what we cannot see or access. The majority of people are usually so concerned about the external and forget the internal body organs. Just as you clean your external body, you should also clean the internal. All the body organs should be maintained in a clean and healthy state. Let us look at how you can cleanse your colon. This be done using some simple natural ways which include:

· Eat sufficient amounts of foods

Every time you eat, the gastrointestinal tract is stimulated to start the process of digestion. The propelling mechanism called peristalsis is activated, pushing the food down the system. It becomes absorbed and by the time it reaches the large intestines. Most of the rest is water and waste products. This keeps the colon active as it will try to excrete the wastes products and absorb the water. Having a large bunch of these wastes to excrete, exercises the colon keeping it strong as compared to having small amounts of feeds regularly.

•    Eat a diet that is rich in fiber

It is in the large intestines (colon) that the reminder of digestible products are transformed into stool and taken for storage at the rectum. Fiber plays an important role in providing roughage, which helps the colon to convert waste products into stool. The stool that is formed as a result of high fiber in the diet ensures a soft and easy to pass out stool, preventing constipation. This goes a long way in ensuring the small intestines are not overworked during defecation. Fiber is normally found in some grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables.

•    Consume plenty of water

Pure water plays an important role in getting rid of waste products. Water is the main substance absorbed by the colon. Therefore, having plenty of drinking water helps to ensure a soft stool to be passed out, avoiding constipation. Eating foods that contain high levels of water can also prove helpful. After exercising, which is also important in ensuring a healthy colon, it is advisable to consider taking water.

•    Empty your bowels when the need arises

Any time you experience the desire to empty the bowel it is important to comply with the feeling. Suppressing the urge or delay leads to a situation where the colon continues to absorb most of the water resulting in hardened stool. This is likely to result in constipation which can result in obstructing the bowel. To avoid these problems it is important to consider emptying the bowels when the urge arises, in the process keeping the colon clean as well as healthy for long.
