Everybody wishes to be healthy and happy. The first step one should take in the direction of being healthy, according to natural health experts, is the cleansing of colon completely. Colon related problems are largely due to bad habits in eating or drinking; and lack of physical activity. Food particles such as saturated fat, refined food, processed food, excess proteins, artificial additives, chemicals, drugs, and undigested food stick to the sides of colon and clog it, so waste can only pass through the small space left by the blockage.
An unclean colon may cause cancer, colitis, digestive disorders and obesity. Colon cleansing has been credited with relieving constipation, diarrhea, digestive problems, bad breath, headaches, allergy, poor eye sight, poor memory, and muscle pains. An unclean colon may effect functioning of the other parts of the body as well.
Dieticians suggest taking lots of fiber in the diet as fiber cleans mucus from the intestine tract. Its very well known that a low fiber diet is associated with colon cancer. Fiber in the form of raw vegetable and fruit also acts as a sponge and cleans loose fecal matter in the intestine. Every colon cleansing product you’ll find on the market will contain a large amount of soluble, digestive fiber.
Various ingredients used in colon cleansing are:
