Cleanse Your Colon

Cleanse Your Colon

The goal of colon cleansing is to remove waste, toxicity, and congestion from the bowel. One of the most frequent bowel problems that people experience in the U.S. is constipation. A constipated intestinal tract means the transition time of toxic wastes is slow. The longer the transit time, the longer the toxic waste matter sits in the bowel where it can putrefy, ferment and get reabsorbed. The longer your body is exposed to putrefying food in your intestines, the greater the risk of developing disease. Even with one bowel movement per day, you will still have one or two other meals worth of waste matter sitting in your colon at all times. Disease often begins with a toxic bowel. Those having fewer bowel movements are creating a fertile breeding ground for parasites, yeast like Candida albicans and other unfavorable bacteria. Infrequent or poor quality bowel movements over an extended period of time may be hazardous to your health.

The following symptoms are often associated with a congested colon and indicate the need to detoxify your bowel:

• Chronic constipation
• Gas and bloating
• Diarrhea
• Weight gain and/or inability to lose weight
• Low energy or fatigue
• Impaired digestion
• Stomach pain
