Benefits Of Colon Cleansing
Without knowing the benefits of colon cleansing, no one wants to think about the idea of colon cleansing! “Poop” is thought to be taboo and off limits when talking to friends or business colleagues. It’s even considered bad manners to bring up this topic at cocktail parties.
And that’s the problem. The more people hold onto their social taboos about it, the more uptight they are about the colon. If you ask a colonic hydrotherapist about this, she’ll tell you that the people most uptight about the topic are the ones who are loaded with the most old fecal matter! It’s what she’s experienced.
You’re in the Food Processing Business and Didn’t Know It!
The fact is that your body is a food processing plant. The line of food comes in through your mouth, then travels into the stomach where digestion is revved up. The small intestine receives the food next which breaks down fats and carbs. At this point the food is passed to the large intestine or colon. There water is absorbed from the food and electrolytes are taken out as well.
Problems with the Colon
Along the way, there can be problems, such as the ones in the list below.
• Food slows down so much it practically stops moving. A backup occurs.
• The food that’s not moving fast enough is fermenting, giving off large amounts
of gas.
• With the gas comes bloating and an uncomfortable feeling.
• Not enough water consumption slows the process down remarkably.
• Food is not digested by enzymes as it should be.
• There’s not enough hydrochloric acid in the stomach so proteins aren’t digested.
• The acid in the stomach starts coming back up after a meal.
Thus, the benefits of colon cleansing relate to every one of the above issues.
• Food passes through the colon as it should without backups in the system. You
have a bowel movement after every meal and it’s effortless.
• The food moves through the colon fast enough so that fermentation is kept at a
minimum. The amount of gas you have is remarkably less.
• Bloating incidents decrease.
• With enough water in the body, your bowel movements are formed into nice
stools, not pebbly rocks.
• The stool is well formed and has no chunks of food in it representing undigested
food particles.
• Heartburn incidents decrease.
• Energy levels soar.
• Joints feel freer.
• Headaches clear.
• Skin texture improves.
• Your ability to focus improves.
Some people may lose weight. If your colon has been storing a lot of meals, all that old fecal matter is sitting in the colon waiting to be removed. It’s “dead weight.” When you first start a colon cleanse, it’s not uncommon that the number of bowel movements increases. Many people wonder how much more can possibly come out of their body.
The answer is a lot. If you have been eating three meals a day for 10 years, then three meals a day should be coming out of you! The body segments each meal it processes packaging it up into a stool. So if you have only had one bowel movement a day for the past few months, imagine how many meals are waiting to come out! Some of those meals may have been partially reabsorbed by the body, bringing toxins into the nearby tissues.
The benefits of colon cleansing are many. You’ll never know what they are for your body until you actually get started. Choose a type of colon cleanse and stick to it for the length of time it must be done. Then evaluate your progress. Most likely, the benefits of colon cleansing for you will be many.
