Colon cleansing is to remove excess toxins in your body. Toxins are from waste that has accumulated over time in your colon. Colon cleansing is believed to avoid toxins from entering the blood because of the fear that it may be slowly poisoning people. Toxins from waste build up is also suspected in contributing to a variety of sickness, health problems and illness, these symptoms include: fatigue, bloating, skin irritation, weight gain, health problems, depression, allergies, arthritis, and cancer.

Our body already eliminates waste from our body so doing a cleanse might not be necessary. However, if you’re thinking about it, here are several ways on how to do a colon cleanse and its benefits and risks to help you assess which one’s best for you or which one is worth doing.

There are several ways to do a colon cleanse. The first one is called colon irrigation or colon hydrotherapy. The procedure is done by a practitioner. by a low-pressure pump or a gravity-based reservoir flushes several gallons of water through a small tube inserted into your rectum.

Benefits:

  • Improves health by removing toxins
  • Boosting your energy
  • Enhancing your immune system
  • Reducing the risk of colon cancer

Additional benefits include:

  • Improving mental outlook
  • Losing weight

Risks:

  • Dehydration
  • Vomiting, nausea, cramps
  • Dizziness, a sign of dehydration
  • Mineral imbalance
  • Electrolyte imbalance
  • Bacterial imbalance and infection
  • Potential interference with medication absorption on day of procedure
  • Bowel perforation
  • Infection
  • Depletion of helpful normal bowel flora unless replaced (i.e. probiotics)
  • Kidney failure
  • Allergies

Risks of side effects increases, if you have:

  • Diverticulitis
  • Ulcerative colitis
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Serious hemorrhoids
  • Tumors in your rectum or colon
  • Recent bowel surgery
  • Heart disease or kidney disease

If you do choose to do this method, take these precautions:

  • Consult with your doctor first especially if you have heart or kidney disease or other health problems.
  • Make sure that the practitioner who will perform the colon irrigation procedure is reputable and uses disposable equipment that hasn’ been previously used.

The second way to do a cleanse is by doing it naturally through having healthy eating habits and avoiding unhealthy habits such as drinking alcohol and using tobacco. Also stay away from dairy, red meat, sugar, and processed food. What you should try to eat regularly are water soluble and water insoluble fiber foods. 

Soluble fiber absorbs water during digestion, increasing stool size. Foods containing water-soluble fiber are sometimes called “roughage” and include:

  • high-fiber fruits, such as pears, avocados, and blackberries
  • vegetables
  • legumes
  • barley
  • oats and oat bran

Insoluble fiber remains unchanged during digestion, helping move food through the intestines normally. This kind of fiber can be found in:

  • fruits with edible skin or seeds
  • vegetables
  • whole-grain breads, pastas, and crackers
  • bulgur wheat
  • stone ground cornmeal
  • cereals
  • bran
  • rolled oats
  • buckwheat
  • brown rice

Food you should avoid:

  1. Processed and red meats. 

This includes bacon, salami or beef. You can substitute these for poultry and fish.

  • White Bread

Just like processed meats, processed grains can also increase your risk of colon cancer. These can be substituted by whole grain bread, pasta and oats.

  • Sugary Drinks

Choose to drink water instead of soda or milk tea or at least opt for low calorie variants or alternatives.

The third way of doing a cleanse is by taking colon cleanse supplements, laxatives or powders; using enemas; or drinking herbal teas to purportedly release colon waste and discharge toxins. 

Life Infused’s Cleanse Infused Colon Cleanser

Benefits: will give you complete but gentle relief from constipation, a safe way to prevent waste build-up and future bouts of constipation, encourages regular bowel movements, improves digestion and experience long-lasting relief.

Constipation is bad because it affects your mood, causes anxiety, slows the metabolism, dulls your complexion and even encourages premature aging that’s why avoiding constipation might feel life changing.

Risks: A common side effect of taking Cleanse Infused, is feeling ill, which is normal and less burdensome than the side effects from other supplements. It is guaranteed to be completely safe compared to other laxatives or powders in the market. Other brands rely on harsh, artificial chemicals like ethylene glycol, an ingredient used in antifreeze.

It also consists of oxygenated magnesium that provides fast, safe and gentle relief that won’t keep you coming back to the bathroom. Colon cleansing should not keep you away from your day to day tasks. It is also a good complement when doing a natural cleanse. Stay healthy, try it today!
