How Do I Prepare for a Nature's Sunshine Bentonite Colon Cleanse?

The colon is designed to eliminate waste and toxins from the body; however, over-consumption of processed foods can cause a buildup of toxic materials in the colon that can have serious health consequences. Bentonite is a highly absorbent natural clay commonly used to improve colon health. Other ingredients found in the Nature's Sunshine colon cleanse include high-fiber psyllium hulls, aloe vera juice and chlorophyll.

Instructions

• 1

  Reduce fat and sugar intake at least three days before starting the cleanse. This includes alcohol, soda, candy, dairy and any other processed or starchy foods. The less fat and sugar present in the colon means the cleanse will work more effectively.

• 2

  Eat light meals and reduce your protein intake as well. Salads and soups are good choices. Eating raw vegetables and fresh fruit to gain extra fiber helps the success of a colon cleanse. Drink at least six to eight glasses of water, which also helps the colon prepare.

• 3

  Start or increase exercise before doing the cleanse. Exercise helps blood flow to the colon, which is helpful during a colon cleanse.

• 4

  Read the instructions on the Nature's Sunshine cleanse product box carefully before you start the cleanse.
