How Does a Colon Cleanse Work?
The colon is home to a variety of intestinal bacteria, and very often, small colonies of parasites. Parasites such as intestinal worms (pinworms, tape worms), amoeba, etc., can invade our body from many sources. These sources include raw uncooked foods such as vegetables, fruits, or sushi. They can also be introduced into our bodies from pets, flies and other common insect pests. These parasites and bacteria then produce toxins as their waste products, which are then absorbed into the body.
Typically, a healthy individual’s body may tolerate these toxins that are absorbed into the body, but if the body’s toxic elimination system is overloaded and there are a large number of parasites, this extra toxin load can interfere with the individual’s health seriously, causing a series of chronic diseases. Doing regular colon cleanses can help you avoid health problems as well as improve your metabolism.
You can cleanse your colon either by taking colon cleansing supplements or having a specialist perform one. For those with a high fiber intake, a colon cleanse should be administered every 6 months. Those with low fiber intake, should follow the routine every 3-4 months.
