The Herbal Colon Cleanse
September 18th, 2008To get the most out of an herbal colon cleanse continue to eat a colon-friendly diet. This means you should eat a diet that has little red meat or animal fat in it. These foods are slow to process through your digestive system as are cheese and other dairy products, except yogurt. Yogurt aids in digestion because it contains live, good bacteria that we need in our intestinal tract. You can also take a probiotic supplement which helps provide these good bacterium to our system with every meal. Also eliminate as much processed food, including fast food, from your diet as you can.
You should also add fiber to your diet to help keep your colon healthy. Fibrous fruits such as pears and apples are good, so are beans of most any kind. Whole grain breads are okay, too. You can also add flaxseed to your smoothies for an extra boost of fiber every day.
If you aren’t sure if you really need a full colon cleanse, you are probably already eating a pretty colon-friendly diet. If this is the case, add colon cleansing herbs and supplements to ensure a healthy colon. If you encounter a week where you just cannot eat like you should, these herbs and supplements will help your digestive system stay on track.
