There are two main ways you could use to lose weight.
- Cut down on the intake – in other words… eat less
- Burn those calories – in other words… exercise more
Well at least those 2 are the main modes losing weight as far as many people are concerned. But there is actually a third one in our books. It's called Colon Cleansing. It has nothing to do with 'eating less' or 'exercising more'. It simply means what those words say – cleansing your colon or bowels. This cleanse can have enormous effects on your whole body, not just the bowels. As an additional bonus, you are bound to lose few extra pounds as well. Let's talk about colon cleansing and losing weight in more detail below!
What the hell is the Colon?
The Colon is the part of our bowels known as the large intestine. Our intestines are divided into 2 min parts; the small intestines and the large intestines. Large intestines are more distal (closer to the anus) than the small intestines (closer to the stomach) and have a larger diameter than the small intestines.
Colon Cleansing – Is the Colon Dirty?
As you can now imagine, colon cleansing refers to cleaning or cleansing the colon. Does this mean that the colon is dirty? Before answering that question, have you heard of atherosclerosis? Atherosclerosis is the condition where you have deposition of layers of cholesterol inside your blood vessels. Think of it like algae inside a pipeline. The pipelines are the blood vessels and algae is cholesterol. Atherosclerosis is a major pre-disposition for heart attacks.
The colon is not too different to blood vessels, or for pipelines for that matter. The colon too has a mucosal lining just like in the case of blood vessels (where it's called the endothelium). Undigested material (especially meat) can form deposits on the inner colonic wall and then mucus can depost on this making things worse. It can be compared to adding water to cement to make concrete.
In other words, these undigested food deposits can form multiple layers inside your colon. Not only will they add pound of extra weight but they are a source of potential toxins.
Colon Cleansing – Not just for weight loss!
Absolutely! Sure you will lose all that gunk within a few hours a lose a few pounds (up to 25 Lbs reported in certain individuals), but there's a lot more to it. All the toxins associated with those deposits are also lost as a result of your colonic irrigation. This gives rise to several additional bonuses. It is believed that colon cleansing has the following additional advantages;
- improving mental outlook
- improving the immune system
- reducing the risk of colon cancer
- better digestion and overall functionality of the bowels
So how do you get your colon cleansed?
There are basically 2 options. Either you can buy colon cleansing products in the form of liquid or powder or you can go to a colonic hygienists or colon therapists to get a colon irrigation performed. The colon cleansing products that you buy may be taken either orally or rectally as enemas.
