7 Day Colon Cleanse

The colon has a large number of crevices where waste, fecal matter and other debris can become trapped. You may end up feeling sick or tired because of the trapped toxins, but doing a colon cleanse can make you feel better and even help you lose a few pounds. You just need to take care in doing it the right way.
  1. Bowel Cleanser

    • A bowel cleanser works by pushing out accumulated waste in the gastrointestinal tract and forcing that debris through the colon. As the mass works through the colon, it picks up trapped pieces caught on the sides and helps expel them as well. The Master Cleanse program, which uses all-natural products is a good example of this. Many of these programs begin working within the first week, but some prefer staying on the program for longer periods of time.

    Colon Cleanser

    • Colon cleansers such as Colon Sweep and Oxygen Colon Cleanse are designed to work the same as a bowel cleanser, but put more emphasis on the colon. The products dissolve the debris and bacteria trapped in the colon, turning those toxins into a gelatinous blob that's expelled from the body. The best way to use this type of product is by taking it twice a day and eating five small meals comprised mainly of whole grains and fresh fruits. This helps rid the body of any debris, waste or toxins trapped in the stomach and intestines as well as those trapped in the colon.

    Diet

    • A diet that's rich in antioxidants and dietary fiber can help you clean out the colon in seven days or less. Whole grains such as pasta and bread, legumes and fresh fruits and vegetables can help you clean out not only the colon but the gastrointestinal tract. It can also help prevent your colon from accumulating waste and keep your bowel movements more regular. If you plan on following this type of diet, try slowly incorporating the new foods into your system to prevent shock.
