Looking after Your Colon is Looking after Your Health
Colonic health treatments, such as a colon cleanse, are becoming increasingly popular. This is because people are wising up to the importance of this much-overlooked organ. The colon, along with the small and large intestines is responsible for extracting nutrients from food. Unlike the large and small intestines, however, the colon also eliminates waste from the body, preparing this waste for a nice easy exit (- not a very nice image, but an important one, nonetheless).
The colon is responsible with eliminating waste, toxins and parasites, as well as lubricating waste. However, it is an extremely sensitive organ, that requires special attention if It is to work at maximum capacity. Overtime, particular for those of us with a poor diet, waste compacts and sticks to the walls of the colon and intestine. Clearly, this is detrimental to health as the organs are then less able to absorb nutrients. When the colon does not work properly, we can become constipated and bloated, or we may suffer from diarrhoea. This can lead to further, and often unexpected, consequences: bad breath, candida, thrush, sore throat, anxiety, and a variety of other ailments.
Given this, it is important to ensure that the colon is clean and free from any blockages caused by compaction of waste sticking to the walls of the lower digestive tract. Failure to maintain good colon health can result in the above-mentioned problems, but it can also contribute to a weight problem too. How does this happen? Well, if your body does not receive enough nutrients, it will crave food, thus leading to feelings of hunger, and therefore (usually, unless you have a very strong will power) lead to over eating.
You can ensure good colon health by eating a colon-friendly diet. This diet will include plenty of roughage (especially non-soluble fibre), fruits and vegetables. If, however, you have spent years eating the ‘wrong foods’, then you may need a colon cleanse.
