Numi Tea Colon Cleansing

Colon cleansing has recently regained fame in a lethargic, fatigued and overweight America, promising weight loss, brighter skin and an increase in energy. The idea is that the efficiency of your digestive system determines your overall health. Processed foods, stress and a lack of exercise are thought to promote toxic buildup in the colon, which releases into the bloodstream, causing illness and weight gain. You can practice safe colon cleansing with Numi tea products, which will aid digestion and prevent weakness as you detox.

Basics

• The truth is that colon cleansing does not rely as heavily on the products used as it does on the commitment to the cleanse. Cleanses last anywhere from one day to a month, depending on the person and their level of experience with cleansing. Some people will consume smoothies or juices, lemon water, tea, or just plain water for the duration of their cleanse.The less calories and nutrients you consume, the greater the burden lifted off of your digestive system.

  The different leaves and ingredients used to flavor Numi tea may be beneficial in a cleanse because they are known to promote blood circulation, act as a diuretic and contain antioxidants. Antioxidants reduce the dangerous effects of free radicals, making digestion and elimination more efficient and hunger pangs and exhaustion less frequent. Numi teas are also organic and in loose-leaf form, containing a negligible amount of calories, if any.

Safety

• Research on colon cleansing and fasting is still in the beginning phases, and no absolute answers can be given about their effectiveness. Thousands of people fast regularly, even as often as one day a week, while others report dizziness, fever, exhaustion, and other symptoms while limiting food intake to fast or cleanse. Historically, "fasting" has not only been safe but unavoidable. Periods of normal eating followed by periods of cleansing or fasting were beneficial, reflecting the habits of our species at a time when many of our chronic diseases did not exist.

Teas

• Green tea, rosehips, ginger and oolong teas are believed to promote weight loss, inhibit development of pre-cancerous cells, reduce "bad" cholesterol and boost the immune system. They ontain antioxidants that fight viruses and slow the aging process, act as diuretics which can cleanse the kidneys, eliminate uric acid and reduce fluid retention. Ginger is known for its ability to ease the movement of substances through the digestive tract. These teas contain low to no caffeine, another important component of the cleansing process.

Starting

• Remember to take it slow. Cleansing can cause intense emotions being so far from standard American dietary habits, which often include overeating heavy, processed foods. You will most likely experience hunger pangs strong enough to end your cleanse in a few hours. Using healthy, organic teas to cleanse, even for 24 hours, can bring discipline to both your body and your mind. As with all new dietary advice, please consult your physician before beginning a low or no-calorie cleanse. The more support and information you gather, the better.
