A number of people suffer from chronic constipation and diarrhea. The people experiencing these conditions spend a lot of time looking for ways to reduce the debilitating effect that these conditions have, on the quality of their life. One of the most effective ways is to try a colon cleanse. Because a level of politeness needs to be maintained in civilized society, not many people that know how effective colon cleansing is, will let others know about its beneficial effects. Most people find out this effective treatment by accident or over the internet. Colon cleansing also helps avert a number of other conditions that may arise as a result of bad health. If a person follows a poor diet patter and deprives their body of essential nutrients, the walls of the intestines become lined with a plaque like substance that can ruin a person's health considerably. Colon cleansing helps to completely remove this plaque like substance and allows the waste in the intestines to pass through more freely. Colon cleansing will also help rid the body of any harmful toxins that play a part in preventing the solidification of waste. When a person suffers from diarrhea, cleansing the colon will be of immense help and allow the bowel movements to become more bulky. This treatment also significantly helps reduce the likelihood of colon cancer as it helps keep up the smooth running of the colon. Moreover, a little known fact about colon cleansing is that it helps with weight loss. The average colon weighs up to 4 pounds, but a cleansing of the colon helps flush away almost ten to thirty pounds of stagnant waste matter from one's body.
You could try cleaning your colon by drinking about half of your weight in ounces of pure non carbonated water, as this will help flush out any stagnant waste as well as harmful toxins from within your body. You will also need to make sure that your diet contains a sufficient amount of fiber foods. Adjusting your diet to ensure that you get a healthy well balanced intake of essential nutrients and vitamins will also help significantly. Fasting is also a very effective way of cleaning your colon. During the fasting process, try limiting your intake to fresh fruit and vegetable juices, as this will help organs such as the liver and kidney, while also eliminating the toxins from the body. Vegetables like peas, potatoes, celery and papaya can be consumed after a week of only fruit and vegetable juices.

The colon or large intestine is instrumental in eliminating waste matter and absorbing nutrients beneficial to the body. Blockages in the colon caused by stored waste matter or toxins impair the ability of the colon to function effectively. Colon cleansing is a recommended procedure to free the colon of accumulated toxins, gas and fecal matter. Colon cleansing detoxifies the colon and enables better functioning of the colon. Blocked waste matter present in the colon or large intestine can lead to various health disorders such as chronic fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome, bloating and acid reflux. Skin and hair problems can also be avoided by resorting to a colon cleansing regime.
There are various home remedies that are beneficial in cleansing the colon. There are various colon cleansing remedies made available locally and over the counter. It is best to resort to mild natural treatments. Home remedies for colon cleansing are simple yet effective solutions that will surely benefit overall health. Drinking water or increasing fluid intake alone is known to reduce chances of a colon blockage. Eliminate colon problems by increasing your average intake of fluids and water in particular. Drinking eight to ten glasses of water is known to reduce colon congestion and aid elimination of toxins.
Colon cleansing diets are also followed by many as an important prelude to weight loss or weight management. Such diets though beneficial should be limited to a week or two such that the body should not be deprived of essential vitamins, nutrients and minerals. Juice diets are considered a good way to flush the toxins away from the system naturally. Include a wide variety of juices instead of solid foods for a short period. This simple technique helps the body receive essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients while giving the digestive system a break from processing solids. But continuing such juice fasts for longer period is not advisable. Include intake of natural laxatives such as psyllium husk, prune juice and fiber rich foods. Intake of vegetables and fruits with skin is a good source of fiber. Similarly, switching to whole grains, lentils, legumes, cereals, nuts, beans, dried fruits, barley products, rye, oats, buckwheat and cornmeal are ideal sources of fiber.
The toxic overload on the digestive system can be drastically reduced by reducing the intake of refined foods, fast foods, sweets, pastries, ice-creams, rich foods such as fried foods and snacks. Alcohol and smoking only make matters worse so avoid or at least restrict your intake. Exercising moderately can also help the digestive system function effectively. It is also important to note that eating hastily; gobbling food without adequate chewing and over eating can cause distress to the overall digestion process.
