The
Colon Cleanse
If
this world of cleansing, organic food, and tools for health
and healing are new to you, start by improving your diet.
Once you make beneficial changes in your diet and are ready
to go further, a Colon Cleanse is the perfect next step.
This short cleanse is easy. The plan is designed as a three,
five or seven day cleanse. If you are confident about your
ability to extend the cleanse and your licensed alternative
health care practitioner agrees, you may do so.
During the Colon Cleanse, you will become familiar with
the basic food preparations and procedures necessary for
any cleanse. Basic skills include: juicing, making homemade
whole fruit smoothies, vegetable soups, steamed vegetables,
salads and satisfying vegetable dishes. With a little practice,
you will become comfortable with the simple food preparations
and can do longer or more in-depth cleansing programs, if
you wish.
The
point of the Colon Cleanse is to clear the colon of excess
waste and improve elimination of this organ. While on the
Colon Cleanse, you will go to the bathroom more frequently
and in larger amounts then ever before (3-4 bowel movements
per day). This is caused by eating substantial amounts of
wholesome fibrous fruits and vegetables combined with fiber
drinks, short term use of herbal laxatives, healthy fats
and oils, and increased daily water intake.
You
can buy, eat, juice and enjoy as much produce (preferably
organic) as you want while on the cleanse. You will make
and drink freshly made vegetable juice every day in addition
to drinking pure water, detoxifying herbal tea and salt
free vegetable broth. Eating and drinking large quantities
of quality food floods your body with super nutrition. In
conjunction with the daily use of flax, psyllium fiber and
natural herbal laxatives, you efficiently push out old wastes
and putrefied foods that have been fermenting in your intestines.
Exercise daily, keeping in mind that it is important to
not overextend yourself while cleansing.
Successful
cleansing is dependent not only on what you ingest, but
also what you avoid. The following list indicates everything
to abstain from while cleansing. If you want the best results
from cleansing, you must make some hard choices and stick
to the plan. The benefits will far outweigh the temporary
withdrawal.
