Benefits of a Clean and Healthy Colon

By Margo Pettinger

Improved health is the most important over-all benefit of having a clean and healthy colon. Now this is a very general statement and we?ll break it down into specific health related components.

First and foremost, we need to have an understanding as to what an unhealthy colon is.

Essentially, not all waste matter is cleared out of the body when you have a bowel movement and over time this matter builds up on the colon wall, sometimes over the period of a few years, or sometimes within days.

Of course, the more build up there is, the more difficult it is to pass waste. Because this build up hinders the process of flushing toxins out, these toxins remain in the body and almost always result in illness.

Benefits of a Clean Colon

Constipation Prevention

It doesn?t take much imagination to understand that chronic constipation is very poor for your health. That stuff is not supposed to stay inside of you. A healthy, properly functioning colon prevents constipation.

Easier absorption of wholesome nutrients

It only stands to reason that the more waste there is built up on the wall of the colon; the more difficult it will be to absorb nutrients. When the colon wall is clean, nutrients are readily absorbed which in turn means you'll find yourself eating less as well.

Weight Loss

If your body?s waste elimination system is working properly losing excess weight becomes easier and you will eat less. Plus if you are eating with colon health in mind you will automatically stay away from fattening foods

Reduced gas and elimination of bloating

Old, built up feces produces gas. Pretty smelly stuff too. If your colon is clean and working properly this gas, and the bloating feeling it causes, will be eliminated.

Increased Energy Level and Less Sleep

A very noticeable result of a clean colon is that your energy level increases dramatically. Primarily, this is due to there being no toxins trapped inside which would otherwise have contaminated the entire body.

Better concentration and sharpened focus

Interestingly enough, toxins which remained trapped within the body also have an effect on one's mental ability. It's been noted that those with a clean colon have the ability to concentrate and focus more than those with an unhealthy colon.

Improved Skin

The effect of the poisons in your body can be seen on your skin. When your body begins to regain health you will develop fewer blemishes and your over all skin tone will improve.

Elevated mood and a stronger sex drive

When a colon is dirty it leaks toxins into the rest of the body so it's hardly surprising that we often feel down and lethargic. Maintain your colon in good health and your over all moods will be better. You'll also notice you have a stronger sex drive.

Instant Weight Loss

You may find this surprising but people who opt for a colon cleansing treatment often lose weight very quickly. This is because literally pounds of fecal matter may be lodged in your colon. Eliminate it and you have very rapid weight loss.

All the benefits mentioned in this article come about when we eliminate the toxins from our body. Whether through diet or whether through treatment, a clean healthy colon will always mean a healthier and happier life.
