Cleansing Your Elimination Organs to Achieve Good Health
Introduction
The colon, kidneys and liver are the primary elimination organs - they eliminate waste and toxins from your body. If they are not functioning properly, there is a likely buildup of toxins in your body. Colon cleansing, kidney cleansing, and liver cleansing routines are key elements to an overall body cleansing and detoxification plan. Proper cleansing of toxins from these important elimination organs frees up your body's resources to more effectively fight disease. In addition, proper cleansing will often help clear up those mysterious symptoms that modern medicine can only hide.
Colon Health
The colon plays a vital role in the health of our entire body. Think of the colon as the sewer system for your digestive system. The primary function of your colon is to collect and eliminate waste from your body. It also absorbs water and certain nutrients into the bloodstream.
Movement of waste along the colon is caused by contractions of the intestinal muscles. Eating food that contains fiber helps keep that waste moving along in the colon. You can well imagine that if the movement of waste were disrupted, the colon would become clogged and heavy and can actually
sag.
In addition to eliminating waste, the colon also reabsorbs water and absorbs nutrients from its contents. If water is not sufficiently reabsorbed, the waste is too liquidy and is called diarrhea. Liquidy waste moves through the colon too quickly and therefore nutrients are not absorbed properly, leading to hunger pangs, frequent eating and dehydration from the expelling of excess water. Too much absorption of water, however, also causes problems. Waste moves too slowly in the colon and has a tendency to plug up the intestinal canal. The effect is constipation, which can cause a bloated feeling and can finally cause the colon to sag.
Signs of an unhealthy colon include Crohn's disease, colitis and irritable bowel syndrome. Adding fiber to your diet can help regulate liquid absorption in your colon and also cleanse your colon at the same time. Think of fiber as nature's scrub brush in cleansing your colon.
