Colon Detox Diet – Need of the Hour

Today’s lifestyle ensures that we consume many unhealthy junk food products along with caffeinated beverages and alcohol. Chemicals and preservatives are a common thing now. These foodstuffs have the capacity to clog our system if not cleaned properly via timely bowel movements.

Earlier, enemas were used for evacuation of the intestinal tract (colon) and now the colon detox process can be triggered via natural and oral procedures as well. One such technique is the high quality herbal cleanse or colon detox diet procedure.

Detox diets vary from those in which you can just eat organic foods, to diets which only allow fruits and vegetables. There are many types of colon detox diets like:

• Organic food based detox diet


• Raw fruits and vegetables based detox sessions


• Liquid detox diets which use juices, fruits and vegetables

Some detox diets carter to only some of the organs but most target the entire body as a whole.

Also, it is advised to fast (starts the flushing process) for at least a day prior to starting such colon detox diets.

Usage of Juices, Fruits and Vegetables for Natural Detoxification and Cleansing

Fruits and vegetables have this marvelous capacity to detoxify your body along with providing fiber content which also helps to cleanse a person’s colon. These provide an energy source thereby rejuvenating the user in a better, and more importantly a simpler, natural way.

Hence, combinations of certain juices are used to make recipes towards detoxifying the body through natural means.

One of the most popular recipes for detoxification is mentioned as below:

Vegetable Super Juice

Requirements: 1 whole medium sized cucumber, 4 sticks of celery, some lettuce leaves, a couple handfuls of spinach, some parsley and alfalfa sprouts. If you are not able to adjust any of the ingredients, you can add certain green vegetables.

Method: You need to juice all the ingredients and then mix in the ratio of 50 to 50 percent with distilled water and add some lemon juice for taste.

Advantages: Not only this recipe is good at nutritional value but it helps the digestive system. Vegetable super juice is considered a super breakfast module and a quick energy bite.

Other juice based detoxification and cleansing methods include:

• Carrot – Spinach – Celery Detox Juice


• Wheatgrass – Carrot – Apple – Beat Detox Juice


• One Liver Cleansing Recipe


• Cucumber – Celery – Cooling Recipe

Not many people might be aware that exercising is also a detoxification (cleansing) process wherein the body movements covert toxins into sweat and perspiration.  While the cleansing process is being performed, the users can combine good upper body and lower body exercise methods (along with abdomen related exercises) to speed up the process. In addition, exercises help a person to earn stamina and strength which is considered a natural motivating factor.

Lastly, as the intestinal colon cleanse procedure is almost on the lines of holistic healing (as it involves the intake of natural supplements and the effects of the techniques are also quite similar), this cleansing via natural methods is advised for everyone, at least once a month.
