Colon Care for the Concerned Citizen

A big, greasy plate of French fries and a bacon cheeseburger. A 5:00 deadline you are stressing out over, because it is one you know you are not going to make. Those Ambien you have been popping every night to overcome your insomnia. Your sedentary, behind-the-desk lifestyle five days a week. What, do you think, all of these things have in common?

All of these above-mentioned things can cause your colon to cease functioning properly. Your colon ceases to be able to eliminate waste from the body as it should, and harmful toxins accumulate.

Just like the dust on our furniture or the soap scum in the shower, the accumulation of toxins is somewhat inevitable, although a healthy lifestyle with exercise and proper eating will do much to curtail it. But most of us do indulge in greasy foods, take medications, stress out over things, and park our bums behind a desk or on the sofa. The average person is guilty of all (or at least some) of these trespasses against our own bodies. This “abuse” is a vicious circle; the more sluggish we feel, the less we move. The less active we are, the more we crave “comfort” foods, which is really a euphemism, most of the time, for artery-clogging, obesity-causing items which we end up paying for dearly in our thighs, stomachs, skin…and colon. And to boot, the more clogged and toxic our colons become, the less nutrients we are able to get from the food we consume. All that leads to is more consumption; the last thing most of us need.

Most people at least suspect that a look into their colon would yield a nasty sight, but few of us do anything about it, least of all changing our lifestyles. Lifestyle changes are huge and take time, devotion, and practice. However, many of us are never going to give up those greasy, delicious fries. And some of us don’t have the luxury of eschewing prescription drugs, or our office jobs. So most of us need a way to flush out our systems regularly, to keep “undoing” all the damage we inflict on our poor bodies.

Thankfully, in the past decade, a new abundance of knowledge on how crucial it is for the colon to function properly has spawned many different types of cleanses; all to get our intestines working at their peak again. But with this proliferation of cleanses being marketed at us at all angles, how does a curious newbie choose?

I prefer to take the guess-work out of cleansing, and I also prefer to use herbal remedies above all else; I’m a firm believer in the power of herbs and I can speak from experience when I say they work. As such, I am glad BlessedHerbs.com is a participating member of our website. They offer two different kinds of cleansing, both utilizing natural, herbal remedies such as ginger and peppermint. The colon cleanse stimulate digestion, provides support to digestive organs and mucus membranes, and aids the liver while stimulating the flow of bile. The internal cleanse encompasses the whole body; detoxifying your colon as well as your lungs, liver, kidneys, lymph, blood, and skin. These cleanses are a wonderful way to set your body right and get things back under control. If you even think you might need to cleanse, I urge you to do this for yourself. I cleanse at least twice a year, and my health has only gotten better over the years, rather than worse. (That is because in my early twenties, I lived off fast food, Ramen noodles, and alcohol! Now, in my early thirties, I am a vegetarian who no longer eats fried foods, over-processed foods, and anything that didn’t come from a garden. Still, I cleanse to get rid of unavoidable environmental pollutants and toxins, as well as that occasional alcoholic drink I still enjoy. In short; I’ve smartened up!)

If you’d like to treat your body right and get the most nutrients from the foods you eat, try one of Blessed Herb’s cleanses.
