Using Food to Cleanse Your Colon

You’ve heard the news: a clean colon is a happy colon. You also know that a lot of what we eat isn’t pure and may have pesticides in it and you’ve considered that having things hanging around in your colon for too long can make you sick. You try to eat organic, but that’s not always possible. Perhaps there hasn’t been time to investigate one of the many colon cleansers on the market. If you’re in good health and keep regular, why not try cleansing the colon with a food colon cleanser? 

What’s a food colon cleanser? Well, since we don’t want food waste sitting for too long in our colons, it makes sense to eat foods that might just help your body be healthier. Certain foods will help to keep your colon clean and toned. One such food is the apple. Research has shown that the procyanidins in apples can be helpful in preventing colon cancer. To try the apples cleanse: eat your favorite type of apple (be sure to drink 8 glasses of water) until your evening meal. To boost this healthy food colon cleanser, at dinner, make sure that at least half of your plate consists of green vegetables. Include a walking program and this food colon cleanser could add years to your life.

Psyllium husk is another type of natural food colon cleanser you might want to try. It’s actually an herb and it works like oats to lower cholesterol.  It’s also great at sweeping the cobwebs out of the intestinal tract on its way out.
