It is a well known fact that if you keep your colon healthy and clean then you will be happy, this can be achieved through a home colon cleanse detox. Your intestines is your largest organ in your body and is extremely important. It contains more nervous than any other organ in your body, apart from your central nervous system and your brain. Because of the amount of nerves it has, it is connected closely to many other organs, meaning that if your colon is not 100% healthy then you will feel the affects everywhere in your body.
If you think about what the intestines does, food goes into the intestines where nutrients from the foods are extracted and taken to the rest of the body. The waste product that is left is feces which contains bacteria and produces gas. The colon stays healthy by getting rid of this bacteria through waste and gas by having regular movements.
What is a Colon Detox?
A colon detox (also known as colon cleanse or bowel cleanse) is a specific detox that is focused on removing harmful and unwanted toxins from the intestines. Such as, bad bacteria, hardened feces, parasites, worms and parasite eggs. This can be done through herbal colon cleansing, a colon cleansing diet or for the more adventurous, colonic irrigation.
If you are experience bloating, stomach cramps, back pain, feeling full, sluggishness, bad moods and generally noticing that your health is not up to par then you should consider doing a colon cleanse to help with these problems.
Your colon is a haven for bad bacteria, seen as the waste product of the body or produced there and it is nice and warm for bacteria to live. Weight gain, constipation and fatigue can all stem from having harmful/ unwanted substances in your colon. The advantages of colon cleansing are:
- Stops constipation
- Prevents diarrhea through limiting the time harmful toxins from food will spend in your body
- Proven that it can help prevent colon cancer
- Weight loss
- Increased energy levels
- Elevated mood
- Improved vision, hair, skin and nails
- Increased concentration
- Able to cope with more stress

Where do I start?
Well after a lot of research for myself, I found sorting out your diet is the best place to start. This is something you can do right now to help you get started on your way.
Using natural products is the best way to look after your colon, so as well as increasing more natural foods you will need to start taking some colon cleansing supplements. Such as, herbs that are known to kill parasites and worms, contain digestive enzymes, contain probiotics (good bacteria), stimulates the liver/ gallbladder and intestines. Herbs that do this are, psyllium husk or seeds, cascara sagrada, flax seeds and slippery elm.
Transitioning to a diet of high fiber, high fruit and vegetables and few uncooked and processed foods will help keep unwanted toxins harboring in your colon. Feces will keep moving and therefore decrease the chance of toxins being absorbed back into the blood stream.
Good luck! And let us know How this helped you!
