Understanding The Least Invasive Most Gentle Way To Cleanse The Colon

By: Maggie Simmons Not sure of the reaction you will get from friends if you told them you are going to have a colon cleanse? They may expect it means you are going to either use a herbal preparation, go for colonic irrigation or have an enema. However, none of these approaches are ones that people tend to be happy about adopting, especially if they are looking for the least invasive, most gentle way to cleanse the colon.

Having a colon cleanse has become almost fashionable, with the benefits of a clean colon and detoxing the body being talked about on almost every day time show, and with infomercials being shown across countless channels.

However, what people do not realise is that there is no need to adopt a colon cleansing program, if they adopt some simple steps to help themselves clean the colon naturally.

This process will take longer than using a herbal preparation or having the waste flushed out of the body using an enema or colonic irrigation, but it is a natural process, and will mean that once adopted the diet will help the person stay cleansed for life.

Avoid foods that are low in fiber while carrying about the colon-cleansing regime. These would include red meat (no fiber), sausages, pepperoni, bacon, pork and meat extracts.

Exercise regularly, and everyday while on a colon cleansing program as exercise stimulates the bowels.

Fasting can help to reduce the amount of foods and toxins being consumed. This will mean that less food has to be processed and the body can concentrate on the job of eliminating any waste lodged in the colon.

Drinking plenty of water is essential, and eliminate all drinks that dehydrate the body, including alcohol, caffeinated drinks and soda.

Digestive enzymes and probiotic foods can help rebalance the gut and colon and also help the body to absorb more nutrients from the foods eaten.

Digestive enzymes tend to come from raw foods that we eat, and they are killed or dramatically reduced by the process of cooking the foods. The most enzyme rich foods are sprouted seeds, legumes and grains.

If food is cooked then the best way is through lightly steaming or stewing the food. This way some of the digestive enzymes are maintained in the food.

Changing diet is the least invasive, most gentle way to cleanse the colon. Although it may be a slower process than adopting a colon cleansing program, it does allow for the whole body to get into balance using solely dietary changes and exercise.
