The Colon is the most important component of the digestive tract. It extracts life-sustaining nutrients and H2O from the food we eat and eliminates waste and impurities. A healthy colon and digestive tract will completely excrete faecal, toxins, parasites and worms, bad bacteria, drug residues and dead cell matter.
The Colon is centrally positioned in the vicinity of every major organ. It is over a meter long and almost literally touches every major organ in the body. It is in contact with most major blood vessels too!
Astonishingly, it is estimated that people in general health have 4 – 5 kg rotting and undigested fecal and food in their digestive tracts.
“Every physician should realize that intestinal toxemia (poisons) are the most important primary and contributing causes of many disorders, diseases and aging of the human body.” – Dr Anthony Basser – Gastroenterologist
An astounding 90% of toxins penetrate your body through the colon and intestinal tract. From there the toxins enter your bloodstream and start damaging your cells, organs and negatively influencing the body’s biological processes.
Many of the foods we eat have traces of these toxins. Many foods today are treated with hormones or steriods to name but a few. Pesticides also contain toxins, and heavy metals can also be found in some foods.
Toxins are also present in the air we breath due to polution from cars, factories and waste dumps.
Firstly we can take preventative measures, such as knowing where our food comes from. Shopping chains have started to become aware of peoples' growing concerns with healthy eating. As a result some of the bigger shopping chains now have a wide selection of organic and free range produce. Organic and free range food is a much healthier alternative, but unfortunately often expensive.
Another factor on our overall health is the increasing busy lifestyle and as a result the stress people are under. Common colon health issues can arise due to stress, such as irritable bowel syndrome(IBS) and constipation.
To keep healthy with a busy lifestyle, try to eat regularly and at least snack during the day if you do not have time for a full meal. Never skip breakfast as this is the most important meal of the day, and this will help you function and give you the energy boost needed to get your day started.
Take a regular daily vitamin and mineral supplements, especially if you are not getting in all your fruits and vegetables. Raw fruit and vegetables are a much better option though, and can be used together with supplements.
If you are suffering from issues such as IBS, constipation, regular headaches, etc you may need to consider a body cleanse. During a cleanse you need to drink lots of fluids, mostly water.
