Picture a car’s exhaust. Now imagine the fuel that was pumped into the engine was incorrect. The exhaust fumes that are created starts caking up the pipe of the exhaust with black debris instead to the nice gray smoke which indicates an engine that is running smoothly and efficiently. So is it with our colons. The bad choices of fuel (food) we ingest create havoc in our digestive system, which in turn affects our health. The black debris starts caking our colon and preventing the production of Vitamin K, (necessary for blood clotting), Vitamin B (important for our stress levels) and Serotonin, which is your “feel good” hormone. If waste remains in the body for too long, it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and illness. Maintains regularity and prevents constipation
Constipation, especially when it’s chronic, causes a sluggish digestive response, which in turn leaves waste in the system longer. This increases the likelihood of auto-intoxication, causing other illnesses and irritations. Increases energy
Releasing toxins from your body is rejuvenating. One can expect better blood circulation, increased energy levels and more restful sleep patterns. Improves concentration
Poor food choices and ineffective vitamin absorption can cause you to become distracted and lose your concentration. Commonly referred to as “Foggy Brain Syndrome” The buildup of toxins in your colon can keep your body from getting what it needs to function. Kick-starts weight loss
Colon cleansing has the potential to aid weight loss in terms of ridding yourself of “poop” grams and making better food choices thereafter. Foods lacking in fiber move through the digestive systems at a slower pace compared to high-fiber choices. The slow-moving food by-products, literally sticks to the colon wall, weighing the large colon down with grams of decaying fecal matter. Decreases risk of colon cancer
All the toxins that you eat, drink, breathe in and absorb through your skin end up being processed by your gastrointestinal system and liver. If they are not eliminated from your colon and liver as quickly as possible, they can wreak havoc on your body’s systems. By releasing stagnant body waste, you reduce the causes and the risk of polyps, cysts and cancerous growths in your colon and gastrointestinal tract. Increases fertility
Colon cleansing, as well as increased fiber intake and healthy food choices, improves regularity and helps keep your weight under control. Fat is estrogen-based, and if too much is present, becoming pregnant becomes more difficult. A colon that is weighed down by years of buildup can also press on the uterus and surrounding reproductive organs in women, causing strain. Colon cleansing rids the body of many chemicals and toxins that affect the egg and sperm. Many naturopaths recommend that both partners undergo colon cleansing before attempting pregnancy. Maintains pH balance in the bloodstream
Foods that cause colon blockages are acid-forming, particularly high-protein diets without enough fiber. This leads to general malaise in the body. The tissue of the colon eventually becomes stressed and inflamed, reducing the colon’s ability to do its job, which is to allow only water, minerals and vitamins to pass into the bloodstream. If yeasts, molds, fungus, bacteria, parasites or fecal material enter the bloodstream and connective tissue, the body’s pH will be thrown out of balance. Improves whole-body well-being
Once you have removed the toxic waste build up in the colon, you can expect to feel lighter, have renewed energy and a general feeling of well being prevails. Other benefits include improved skin tone, a sparkle in the eyes, shinier hair to name a few. Parasite infestation
Don’t flinch now. It is a very common malady. We are all susceptible. Often one becomes aware of this during a colonic when evidence there-of is seen.
