Colon Cleanse Diet - Foods To Help Colon Cleansing

The colon of the large intestine might just be the most misunderstood part of the human body while, at the same time, being one of the most critical parts of it. Eating a lot of unhealthy foods can affect the colon negatively and you may not know it yourself but it might be time for you to opt for a colon cleanse diet.

There are many causes for colon problems and you should choose your colon cleanse diet with care. To highlight what an important part the colon plays in our health, doctors have coined the scarily true phrase "death starts in the colon" to remind many people and almost 50% of the Americans suffering from digestive problems and bowel disorders about the serious consequences of neglecting your colon.

The colon is the largest division of the large intestine and is about 3 inches wide and almost 6ft long. Once food has been digested in the small intestine, the remainder comes along to the large intestine and the colon helps in absorbing water and the last traces of nutrients while facilitating waste formation and its movement out of the body.

The colon can maintain itself so long as the person's dietary intake contains enough water, fiber, fruits and vegetables. When you consume more food which is processed, has high quantities of fat and doesn't have sufficient water and fiber, traces of these foods can adhere to the walls of the colon. As such waste accumulates and hardens, it will reduce the width of the colon, making it that much more difficult to get waste matter to move along, resulting in constipation. This also results in a less area of the colon being available for nutrient absorption, and as a result the chances of toxins from the built up waste entering your bloodstream are increased.

This sort of an unhygienic deposition in the colon can lead to bacterial, yeast or parasitic infections of the colon which will give rise to more health problems. Cleaning out waste matter from your colon is therefore, one of the most important facets of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Many people around the world, realizing this, have taken to colon cleansing to remove accumulated waste matter from the walls of the intestines. You could adopt a variety of therapies to effect this. There are home remedy options as well as clinical procedures or you could make use of scientifically recommended allopathic or natural tablets or capsules. But your diet while undergoing such treatment can play a crucial role in the effectiveness of your colon cleansing program.

Colon Cleanse Diet tips:

Here are some diet tips for you when going through colon treatment:

Eat foods with a lot of fiber. Also fruits, vegetables and nuts to supplement your energy. Or you could go for a solids-free juice-only diet.

Stay away from junk food, processed, fatty, oily or fried foods. Red meat is also a strict no-no. Such items can sabotage your entire cleansing routine.

No dehydrating liquids like alcohol, coffee, or aerated soft drinks. Water or lemonade would be your best alternatives as water, being a universal solvent, will help in colon cleansing.
