How to Cleanse Your Bowels

Colon cancer is an increasingly common diagnosis in the United States, due in large part to toxic buildup within the colon, causing irregular bowel movements. It is natural for our bodies to have at least one bowel movement a day. When this does not occur, the toxins from the colon sit in the bowel; the longer they sit, the likelier they are to be reabsorbed into the bloodstream, causing an increased risk for disease. So, cleansing the bowels is vital to ensuring overall health and well-being.

Instructions

• 1

  Eat raw fruits and vegetables. These enable your digestive system to run smoothly by keeping it free of the plaque that traps the toxins in the colon. By preventing the buildup of this plaque, your body can completely digest and use the foods you eat.

• 2

  Drink lukewarm water. Water is a natural cleanser, but when you drink lukewarm water, it washes away the plaque and toxins more easily from the colon. You should drink 8 to 10 oz. a day for this method to be effective.

• 3

  Mix bentonite and flaxseed. Bentonite binds to toxins in the colon and carries them out, while ground flaxseed will expand in the colon, allowing for easier removal of these toxins. Mixing them together is an ultimate bowel cleanser. Simply mix 1 tbs. of each in an 8-oz. glass of water. Drink one glass first thing in the morning, a half hour before eating, and a second before bed.

  Drink aloe vera juice. Aloe vera has long been known for its healing properties and it does not stop with its external effects on the body. The vitamins, minerals and nutrients found in all-natural aloe vera juice will remove toxins from the intestines, such as parasites. It will also help the intestines absorb nutrients more effectively.

  Drink apple cider vinegar. The benefits of apple cider vinegar are sometimes thought of as an old wives' tale, but regular use of this vinegar is extremely effective. Mixing 1 tsp. of honey with 1 tsp. of apple cider vinegar in 10 oz. of water will detoxify your body and clear your digestive organs of any toxic agents that may be present. This concoction should be consumed in the morning and evening.
