Many home remedies exist to cleanse the colon and the liver. These two organs help to filter out toxins and remove harmful wastes from the body. If these toxic substances are not eliminated, they are reabsorbed by the colon. This can result in a wide range of diseases and illnesses. To improve your health and the proper functioning of all systems, it is necessary to keep your liver and colon clean. With a healthy colon and liver the body is better able to repair and clean itself.
Plenty of Fluids
Water is an essential part of life and is necessary for the body to function. Drinking plenty of fluids each day, whether water, herbal teas, vegetable or fruit juices, can help to replenish fluids lost through urination and sweating. Drinking more fluids each day also helps to flush out germs and debris and also helps to dilute any poisons or toxins in the body.
Fasting for Health
A fast is a good way to clean the colon and liver. The body is self-healing, but most of the time the body's energy is used in the processing and digesting of food. This is especially true if you eat foods filled with chemicals. One function of the liver is to filter out toxic materials, but the more toxins in your body the more the liver and other digestive organs have to work. A fast gives your body a vacation from digesting food so it can instead use the energy for self-cleaning.
Organic Foods are Healthier
One of the main reasons why more people are eating organic food is that it is grown with fewer or no chemicals. The insecticides, pesticides, and preservatives used in many foods eventually find their way into the tissues of the body where they can cause disease. The liver and colon work hard to rid the body of these chemicals, but if your system is overloaded with toxic chemicals, the liver and colon can only do so much. One way to help keep the colon and liver cleaner is to eat organic fruits, vegetables, meats and dairy products.
Herbal Remedies
Herbal remedies can be very effective in treating diseases and in cleaning the colon and liver. Herbalists recommend milk thistle to clean the liver. This herb is very effective in ridding the liver of poisons and in strengthening it to filter out the toxins that enter the body from food, air and water. In the article "The Liver Herbs" at the web site of the Gay Men's Health Crisis, other herbs are listed as well, including ginger, burdock root and dandelion. For the colon there are numerous herbal colon cleansers on the market. Most of these contain several herbs. Colon cleaners work by increasing muscular activity in the colon so that fecal matter is pushed through the intestines.
Exercise Offers Many Benefits
Exercise gets your heart pumping, tones the muscles, helps you to lose fat and also helps to clean out the colon. Any physical activity --- whether it is aerobic exercise, yoga or walking to work --- stimulates the muscles in the colon to move faster, thereby causing the contractions that facilitate a bowel movement. This process helps to keep the liver functioning at higher capacity.
