The colon can accumulate waste material and toxins over time and create an unhealthy build-up, causing even a person who is generally lean can appear to be bloated with a protruding stomach. By flushing the colon, you will help your body excrete impacted fecal matter, which is sometimes called mucoid plaque, helping you lose weight that even exercise cannot help you burn off. According to Colonzone.com, depending on the person, a flush can help you shed five to 15 lbs.
Step 1
Use psyllium husk and betonite clay. Psyllium husk is a fiber that, when ingested, absorbs several times its weight in liquid and becomes a gel-like substance. This substance will add weight to your bowels and help push out impacted fecal matter. Betonite clay is a substance that absorbs toxins from the mucous lining in your gastrointestinal track as it passes through. Take the prescribed amount on each package as the dosages may vary, and always drink at least eight to 12 oz of water daily.
Step 2
Avoid alcohol, tobacco and processed foods, and increase your intake of vegetables and fruits. The juices from these foods are made of mostly water, which makes them easier to digest, and help in flushing of the colon by keeping your bowel movements regular. According to Dr. Ben Kim, fruits and vegetables will also help keep you hydrated, which is very important when flushing your colon, and will minimize how hard your body has to work to excrete excess fecal matter.
Step 3
Mix crushed flax seeds into yogurt, cereal or oatmeal. Flax seeds work similarly to fiber in that they absorb several times their weight in water. Flax seed will also bind to mucoid plaque in your colon and increase the weight of the fecal matter, allowing it to be more easily excreted. As this excess waste passes regularly, you will start to notice a decrease in your weight.
