A clean colon can prevent Irritable Bowel Syndrome, cancer and more.
When looking for ways to get and keep a healthy colon, these tips can be helpful. Following these detoxification suggestions may prolong your life by assisting with the risk-reduction of potentially preventable illnesses like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), diverticulosis and colon cancer. In addition, they can promote an attrition of the discomforts of bloating, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue and gas.
Fiber
Fiber-rich food is a great choice for a healthy colon. Eating a good amount (about 25-35 grams daily) of high-fiber foods like raspberries, bananas, prunes, peas, broccoli, beans, and celery is a great start to cleanse the body. Fiber keeps food waste moving along your digestive track, which helps your intestines stay squeaky clean and can decrease your risk for diverticular disease.
Vitamin D
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition says that a steady intake of Vitamin D is advantageous when trying to prevent colon cancer and maintain a healthy colon. You can get Vitamin D from a variety of sources including the sun (15-20 minutes of daily exposure is sufficient) and foods like bread, fatty fish, milk and cereal. If your foods do not supply enough Vitamin D, taking a supplement may be warranted. Vitamin D may also help prevent osteoporosis.
Don’t hold it
If you feel a bowel movement coming, head for the bathroom and let it go. If you try to hold it in, built-up fecal matter can release toxins into your body, which has the potential to cause diverticulosis and IBS. Regular bowel movements are one of the ways your colon keeps itself clean and healthy.
Water
Inadequate hydration can lead to a build-up of toxins in the body. As those toxins accumulate, the risk for constipation, bloating, gas, IBS and fatigue increases. If you’re trying to keep your colon healthy, try to drink eight eight-ounce glasses of water in a day to cleanse your body.
Exercise
When you’re trying to keep your colon healthy, exercise is a huge part of the equation. By increasing blood flow and circulation , through exercise, your colon (and entire gastrointestinal system) gets more oxygen. This may help ward off colon cancer and other diseases. Your fitness routine doesn’t need to be extreme. Stretching, doing yoga or walking for 10-15 minutes a day is sufficient to help keep your colon healthy.
Cleansing your colon
There are also natural ways to keep your colon clean. Colon flushes are a popular procedure, and wash out toxins and waste material that have become trapped in your colon. If you suffer from constipation, a colon flush can be the best way to regain regular bowel movements and restore your colon to health. Colon hydrotherapy is a service that Detox For Life has specialized in for over a decade.
