Colon Cleansing: Weight Loss? Benefits?

Post by XQH000AD0001 »

I've heard of this before and read some stuff about it recently. In summary, many resources say that we have lots of gunk in our colons that have been trapped there for years, deteriorated, petrified, etc. All this stuff is said to be the alleged cause of many problems, including inability to lose weight. I don't know very much of the details of how to get rid any of the junk in there.

Does anybody know about colon cleansing, especially how it relates to trying to lose weight? Does anybody know of any reliable source of information regarding this? Is the whole colon cleansing thing just a gimmick to make money? Please help! Thank you!

it's always to cleanse a couple of times a year...some will be more blocked up depending on exercise and diet...the more blocked up you are the less nutrients you actually absorb and use so you'll become deficient in many vital nutrients that the body requires to function...i don't think you need to but an actual clensing kit or anything, you can probably have fruit and veggies only for 3 - 5 days and get the same effect

Some of the best ways to cleanse the body.

1. More Water.

2. Good Fibre

3. Natural Laxatives like Figs, Prunes, Senna etc etc.

4. Don't go crazy with Red Meats. Have things like Trimmed Steak, but maybe 2-3x a week max.
