Natural Cleansing to Promote Colon Health

When your colon isn’t working right, you can feel it right away – even though you may not know it’s your colon that’s bothering you. Colon problems can cause aching muscles, joint pain, fatigue, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, headaches, dull eyes, poor skin, spots and depression.

The inflammation from it can spread through your body and get into your blood. In fact, having a digestive system that’s toxic to your body is one of the main reasons people are chronically ill.

The typical American diet of refined sugars, starches and low-fiber foods produces a kind of sludge, creating a buildup and narrowing your colon. This buildup is the perfect breeding ground for all kinds of harmful bacteria and parasites. It also rubs and pushes against the walls of your colon, making them irritated and inflamed.

That’s why it’s critical to eat foods that clear out the colon regularly. Most Americans don’t do this, which may be why an estimated 100,000 people will be diagnosed with colon cancer this year.

A diet high in fiber is the best way to ensure optimal colon health. But the mainstream medical approach on this is misguided. You shouldn’t be eating a lot of cereal to get your fiber, or taking grain-based laxative products (which we’re told over and over is the best way to care for the digestive tract).

In fact, a study released a few weeks ago found that the non-rice cereals we eat increase colon cancer risk. It also found that those who eat the least fruit – which has natural fiber – have an increased risk, too.

When it comes to fiber, you should use what is natural and has been in our diet since primordial times. Before grains were domesticated.

Nature has given us all of the natural fiber we’ll ever need in fruits, nuts and vegetables. Here are some of the best sources of natural fiber:

Food	Portion	Dietary Fiber (grams)	Soluble(grams)	Insoluble (grams)
Fruits
Apple	1 Medium	2.9	0.9	2.0
Orange	1 Medium	2.0	1.3	0.7
Banana	1 Medium	2.0	0.6	1.4
Vegetables
Broccoli	1 stalk	2.7	1.3	1.4
Carrots	1 large	2.9	1.3	1.6
Tomato	1 small	0.8	0.1	0.7
Legumes
Green Peas	2/3 cup cooked	3.9	0.6	3.3
Kidney Beans	1/2 cup cooked	6.5	1.6	4.9
Pinto Beans	1/2 cup cooked	5.9	1.2	4.7
Lentils	2/3 cup cooked	4.5	0.6	3.9

If you can’t get enough fiber through the food you eat, an effective colon cleanse can release years of toxic buildup and reduce your risk of developing chronic diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome. It will prevent the toxins from overloading your colon, digestive system and blood stream.

Natural Probiotics can Benefit Digestive System Health

Probiotics are small organisms that help maintain the natural balance of other organism in the digestive tract and intestines. Probiotics may be a safe and natural approach to defending your body against unwanted bacteria that can cause microbial infections. The largest group of probiotic bacteria in the intestine is the lactic acid bacteria.

A human’s digestive tract ranges from 25-35 feet and houses over 400 species of bacteria. In total there are over a 100 billion organisms in our digestive tract. A person taking antibiotics is equivalent to pouring bleach into a fish tank to kill an overgrowth of algae. The bleach not only kills the algae but everything else that is present in that environment. It is necessary for people taking antibiotics to alternate with Probiotics because antibiotics kill beneficial bacteria along with the bacteria causing the illness.

In addition to supplements, probiotics can be found in such foods as yogurt, fermented and unfermented milk, some juices and soy drinks. Dannon’s Activia yogurt, for instance, is an example of a probiotic food.

Probiotic Supplements Support a Healthy Digestive System and Help to fight off infections which can lead to serious illness. More people are starting to use probiotics daily in order maintain regular bowel movements and cleanse their digestive system. Researchers are studying whether probiotics taken as foods or supplements can help treat or prevent illness. There is encouraging evidence that probiotics may help:

* Treat diarrhea, especially following treatment with certain antibiotics
* Prevent and treat vaginal yeast infections and urinary tract infections
* Treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
* Reduce bladder cancer recurrence
* Shorten the duration of intestinal infections
* Prevent and treat inflammation following colon surgery (pouchitis)
* Prevent eczema in children

Some researchers believe probiotics may improve general health. A small 2005 study in Sweden, for instance, found that a group of employees who were given the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri missed less work due to respiratory or gastrointestinal illness than did employees who were not given the probiotic.

More research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of probiotics. As with any dietary or herbal supplement, consult your doctor before starting any new treatment.
