How to Cleanse Your Colon With Food

Most people new to the idea of colon cleansing for good health, are
turned off by the idea of doing an enema or colon irrigation. So they
look for alternative methods to cleaning their colon, and one of the
most natural colon cleansing methods they discover is food.

Food is one of the best techniques to use for cleansing your colon.
Now, there are several approaches to using food for colon cleansing,
so we'll look at a couple of those here.

First: The lack of food can help cleanse your colon. Technically this
is called a fast, or a body detox technique. Using this colon
cleansing method, you simply go on a juice only diet for about one
week. Juice fasts can last for two to three weeks if you'd like
though, and many people use them for both detoxing their body and
losing unwanted body weight.

Juice fasts can be done using either fruit or vegetable juices, but if
you're diabetic you may want to water down your fruit juices because
they do contain high amounts of natural sugar.

Not everyone can handle going without solid food for a week or more
though, so that brings us to our primary colon cleansing method:

Food. Yes, real, solid food that will fill your stomach.

The best types of foods to eat which will help your colon cleanse
itself gently and naturally, are high in fiber.

Whole grain and bran cereals for instance, are an excellent way to get
extra fiber into your diet and help cleanse your colon. You may want
to try adding flaxseed to your breakfast for even better results.

Anything green and leafy is another excellent source for helping to
cleanse the colon. Try eating plenty of vegetables such as spinach,
broccoli, and various salad greens.

One of the best foods for helping you cleanse your colon though, is
fruit. Blackberries for instance, have a whopping eight grams of fiber
per cup, and all that extra fiber does a wonderful job of cleansing
your colon. Prunes and prune juice are also excellent foods to use for
cleansing your colon, and just about any other type of fruit or fruit
juice which usually makes you have a good bowel movement will work as
well.

The whole point of cleansing your colon naturally using food, is to
increase your body's waste elimination process for several days at the
minimum. You want to force your body to start flushing out the solid
waste materials, so that it's also carrying the toxins and bacteria
out of your body more quickly too.
