Cleansing before working out?

[YasinH]

whats the real truth about this? DO COLON CLEANSERS really help before starting a workout routine?..i need some more info about this!

no, now go and train

Eat lots of fruits, veggies, and whole grains... drink plenty of water... stay away from processed crap... and youre body will do a fine job of cleansing itself. Take the money that you would spend on one of those cleanses and buy some healthy food and you'll come out far better than you would if you did a cleanse.

Just thoughts..

Cleanse things. Pointless, dubious, substandard results at best.

Colonic irrigation, might be fun, might be okay, but not as a cleanse, just as something interesting to try

I have to agree with everyone here, save the money. A few years ago I worked with 2 MD's that were alternative medical specialist. Even they warned against high-colonics. Back flushing isn't a good idea for your car and it isn't a good idea for you. There have been numerous reports of severe infection from back flushing wastes where they don't belong. I would also recommend against cleansing diets. Do as someone here suggested and eat enough fiber in the form of fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water, avoid junk, and exercise...your body will naturally do the rest.
