It is believed that our digestive system comes in contact with everything that we consume.
For that reason, toxins and waste will build up inside the intestines over time, and they can cause numerous health problems.
Some of these problems include low energy, constipation, irregular bowel movements, weakened immune system, and diarrhea.
By performing a colon cleanse, you can fix all these problems, improve bowel function, and achieve greater health and well-being.
Also, this cleaning is the first step to losing weight and starting a weight loss program or some specific diet.
In fact, many health experts or dietitians will begin a weight loss regimen with a colon cleanse.
Normally, the colon is approximately 5 to 7 feet long and about 2,5 inches in diameter, but in people who regularly consume a diet rich in processed meats, red meat, and other unhealthy foods, the colon can be even 3,5 to 3,5 inches in diameter in some parts.
The bad news is that in some cases even prolonged use of laxatives and other drugs can’t help cleanse the build-up of toxins and waste.
However, there is one completely natural method that offers you a proper colon cleanse and detox.
Here are two fantastic ingredients for a colon cleanse and improved health:
1.Flaxseed:
Flaxseed is the best choice for colon cleansing. It absorbs water and expands as it travels through the colon.
Flaxseed acts like a scrub brush as it literally scrubs toxins and wastes away.
It also contains omega-3 fatty acids (alpha-linoleic acid), which have anti-inflammatory properties and helps in the treatment of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome).
The best way of consuming flaxseed is by grinding it because it is hard to digest whole. Flaxseed oil is healthy, but not the best for a colon cleanse.
Grinded flaxseed is needed to remove toxins and waste from the digestive tract.
2.Kefir
Kefir is a fermented drink usually made with milk “grains” that are beneficial living organisms. Also, it’s a complete source of proteins, minerals, and essential B vitamins.
Kefir contains several strains of beneficial bacteria and beneficial yeasts, which help to cleanse the intestines, helps to balance the intestinal flora, and eliminate pathogens, such as parasites.
Kefir also helps to restore your digestive system, improves your immune system, and relieves inflammatory bowel disease.
USING FLAXSEED AND KEFIR TOGETHER
IMPORTANT: Food that is fermented can sometimes be hard for some people to digest it, so it is the best to start with small amounts and to increase the amount slowly step by step.
Also, it is important to take this a couple of days a week for two weeks. This will allow the body to build its immunity.
Here is one method of consumption that we suggest:
At first, start with consuming
1 tablespoon of flaxseed (grinded) with about 1/4 or 1/3 glass of kefir before breakfast and before bed.
Also, make sure to drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water each day. Do this for a week, and then take a break for a few days.
After that, you can repeat this procedure by consuming 1-2 tablespoons of grinded flaxseed with about a glass of kefir before breakfast and before bed.
Also, do this for a week, and then take a break for a few days.
It is essential to go about a colon cleanse naturally and slowly.
There is a bunch of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract and performing an unnatural or fast colon cleanse can remove or kill this beneficial bacteria.
