Why Do People Do Colon Cleansing?

Many people have misconceptions about colon cleansing. And they are uncertain what kind of colon cleansing products they should use. In all honesty, I have from time to time actually bought a colon cleansing package and let it sit on my shelf for a month or more. Most probably I was waiting for a practical time to use it. But the truth is I know it was only reluctance to try something new. Do you do the same thing?

You already know your colon is found at the very end of your digestive system, right? Whenever you have a bowel movement you empty part of it. But the truth is the process of colon cleansing is more than just routine everyday evacuation of solid wastes.

Let’s consider the steps involved in digesting food in your body. It starts with chewing and mixing with saliva in your mouth. Next the food mixture passes through your esophagus and into your stomach. Specific enzymes break the food down further into components your body can access at the cellular level. It is rather fascinating that nutrition happens at a cellular level way inside your intestines without you even thinking about it.

Any solids that are not absorbed are passed into the large intestines. The essential function of your large intestine is to remove excess moisture. Next the waste is expelled from your body. In the structure of your intestines there are thousands of tiny villae (like little fingers) that maximize the surface area so your intestines can perform the absorption process. It’s in the little convoluted parts of your intestines, that some particles become compressed.

When wastes become trapped along your intestinal walls they form a crust that cuts down on the ability to absorb nutrients. Any solids that remain attached or stuck inside will also begin to decay and create their own toxins too. Those toxins and impacted wastes are what you are trying to eliminate from your body with a colon cleanse.

When you think about it you have 3 ways to cleanse your colon. Take in more water and fiber. Take a laxative. Or have a colonic irrigation. An enema is one simple way to irrigate your colon. But it has its risks too. Did you know your body can become dependent on chemical laxatives?. That could result in a lazy colon which would only make matters worse for you. You could irritate or poke a hole in the insides of your intestines with an improperly applied enema. So your best choice is the simplest and the first way to cleanse your colon.

In fact we have learned that lots of people use colon cleansing products to help them with their weight loss journey. Sometimes people shed quite a few pounds of excess old waste as a result of their colon cleanse. Obviously that is a rewarding result. However colon cleansing products should not be the only method you are using to manage your weight. That would not be a healthy choice.

Now that I have told you concerning it, possibly I will unearth the courage I need just to move forward and “get on with it”. Go through the directions and stick to them. Overall it is a really simple thing to do. Many thanks for being attentive. I hope this will help you start on a healthier path too!
