The Truth About Colon Detox

Did you know that pollutants and contaminants can be found in the air we breathe, the water we drink. Preservatives, food additives and pesticides can be found in many places, even the foods we eat. Alcohol consumption and/or smoking may also increase the level of toxins in the body and could interfere with the body’s natural detox functions.

In addition to these external factors, there are internal factors that could add to the toxic buildup in the body. Bodily processes such as respiration, digestion produce byproducts. The natural detox processes of the body might find it hard to keep up with such an overwhelming overload.

Toxin Buildup and Detox Cleanse
Think you don’t need to detox? Not so fast. Does this sound like you? Poor dietary habits, a propensity to overeat, an addiction to fast foods and processed foods that contain chemicals, do not provide our bodies with the necessary nourishment required to counteract the levels of toxin buildup in the body. In time, the liver could become overwhelmed. This may lead to a poor disposition of overall health or to more serious health complications.

A balanced diet, antioxidant-rich foods and regular exercise may help support the body’s natural detox functions. Some people revert to fasting, one-food only diets, or liquid-only diets to detoxify the system. Such diet programs are unnecessary and the American Dietetic Association advises-“Your metabolism slows, the body shuts down [and] conserves, and any functions that are unnecessary, like 'cleansing,' are not going to occur.”

To help support your body’s natural detox function, natural detox cleanse is often the preferred choice. Such detox cleanses typically contain detoxifying herbs and dietary fiber in addition to colon cleanse ingredients and digestive herbs.

Fiber-based detox cleanses have an additional advantage. Fiber is known to bind toxins found in the digestive tract and expeditiously eliminates them from the system before they are absorbed by the body.

Detoxifying herbs help to stimulate other vital eliminatory organs of the body such as the liver and kidneys so that they are able to perform their tasks of eliminating toxins at optimum levels.

Regularity is vital to elimination of toxins and is related to good health. A good detox cleanse provides support for systemic detoxification. A poor or under-functioning colon may lead to bouts of constipation or inadequate bowel movements creating the perfect breeding ground for proliferation of parasites. The longer waste matter remains in the colon, the more toxic it becomes to the body. Detox cleanse ingredients contain herbal laxatives that stimulate peristaltic movements in order to cleanse the colon of accumulated waste and parasites.

Comprehensive Detox Cleanse
There are several detox cleanse options to choose from. A good choice would be a detox cleanse that has been formulated by a qualified doctor who has put together a detox cleanse that meets comprehensive and systemic requirements. A detox cleanse program like BeneCleanse does not require fasting or modifications in the diet. An herbal, fiber-based detox cleanse program gives you the proper intake of dietary fiber to bind toxins lodging in the digestive tract. It also provides probiotics, which when combined with fiber in the colon, produce nutrients that are necessary for vital liver functions.

After an initial and secondary detox cleanse, BeneCleanse provides a unique nutritional supplementation consisting of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, dietary fiber and digestive aids to support colonic, digestive health and strengthen the body’s ability for natural detox.

The Road to Health is Paved with Good Intestines

I know the intestines are not a subject we, in the modern world, like to discuss. However, please bear with me as I provide you with some “seeds of knowledge” that will not only help to prevent disease, but that are also changing the lives of millions of people and restoring health to those with disorders such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, multiple allergic response syndrome, lupus, irritable bowel, Crohn’s disease and yes, even cancer.

The large intestine (also known as the colon) is a hollow tube-like organ of approximately 5 to 5 1/2 feet in length. It is made up of pockets called sacculations, medically known as haustrae. In this tube are trillions of cells associated with the human body, 90 percent of which are bacteria microflora microorganisms living in the large intestine. It is now universally accepted that autointoxication, a condition meaning the body is poisoning itself, is the underlying cause of an alarmingly large percentage of degenerative disorders and complex diseases.

The inner lining of the colon consists of extremely sensitive nerves and glands that provide an important function in the final stages of digestion and assimilation of foods. These same nerves and glands help to eliminate wastes from the system, a sort of human garbage disposal. In addition, the blood eliminates many of its wastes through the colonic walls. Researchers in degenerative diseases and professionals trained in colon hydrotherapy have shown that extra body weight can be attributed to the waste accumulation that lies within the 60,000 miles that make up the blood vessels, lymphatic system, bones, joints and soft and connective tissues. Much of this accumulated waste can take up “housekeeping” in the colonic pockets (sacculations) because of the structural makeup of the colon. Over decades, this “packed-in” waste can accumulate as much as 30 to 50 lbs of fecal waste.

When the body becomes overwhelmed with toxins it can’t handle, it becomes a raging fire on a path of self destruction; this is where colon health computes into the health equation. Colon cleansing can be accomplished by three major methods: colon irrigation through hydrotherapy, exercise, and better diet high in fiber and vegetables aid in the removal and elimination of colonic plaque.
