A 7 day colon cleanse can remove toxins, help with constipation, boost the immune system and, in some cases, help with weight loss. As a clean colon can help the body assimilate vitamins and minerals better, it may also help increase energy levels.
Preparation
Preparing your body for a cleanse will minimize any side effects, including headaches. Avoid all processed food the week before and eat a good range of fruits and vegetables and whole grains, and drink plenty of water.
Planning
Most colon cleansing products will have you using the bathroom more than usual. Bear this mind and plan your cleanse carefully. If you choose a fasting or juicing option, remember you may need to rest more than normal.
Adding Probiotics
Along with removing toxins, a colon cleanse can also remove "friendly" gut bacteria. If the product you are using does not include them, look for a good probiotic to take after your cleanse. Eating natural "live" yogurt is also good. This will help re-populate the gut and prevent further intestinal problems.
