Weight loss-it’s true there is no easy way to lose weight. The tried and true formula is to decrease your food intake and increase your activity output through exercise. There is one way to help make this go a little easier and that’s through colon cleansing. Can it really help you take off the weight? Let’s take a look.
What is the colon?
The colon is also known as the large intestine. It’s responsible for filtering and getting rid of the waste from everything you take into your body through food, medicine, liquids and air.
So why does it need to be cleaned out?
Over the last thirty years, our diets have been increasingly filled with artificial ingredients and chemicals that the body was never designed to handle. This sits in your colon building up through the years and it becomes toxic to the body. It blocks all the good nutrients from getting into your body and you can actually wind up with a starvation reaction causing your metabolism to slow. A sluggish metabolism means a slow weight loss. There may even be parasitic-like worms that are living in your colon further hampering your digestive system.
How do I clean out my colon?
There are two ways you can get your colon cleaned. You can go to a provider that does a mechanical evacuation of your bowels. The second option is to use a combination of natural herbal supplements.
Is this safe?
As with any health procedure, consult with your health care professional first. This procedure tends to be preferred by those practicing alternative medicine. This is something that has been practiced through the ages and not wholly embraced by Western medicine. A certified nutritionist is well versed in this and there are reputable resources on the internet.
So that’s all I need to do?
Not exactly. Typically you will see a large chunk of weight come off as the bulk of the toxic sludge in your intestine is flushed out. The body then works more efficiently as it’s better able to absorb the nutrients you put in your body. You can keep your body working to get the weight off by avoiding food with artificial ingredients and whole foods grown without pesticides and other harmful chemicals as well as daily exercise. Your body will then become a lean, mean calorie burning machine.
So what do I do now?
This website has been extremely instrumental in my weight loss, helping me stay accountable to myself and others by putting my weight victories and frustrations out there for the world to see. It's quite an emotionally freeing thing - journaling and updating progress photos - and I highly recommend it to anyone who is losing weight.
