Every day you are exposed to thousands of toxins from the environment and food that you eat. Toxins can be ingested from tap water, household products, pesticides and chemicals from fruits and vegetables. These harmful chemicals cause our body's natural detoxification system and organs to malfunction. When the liver, intestines, kidneys and colon fail to eliminate these harmful substances, your health starts to deteriorate. Following an organic whole body cleanse can revitalize and restore the digestive balance in your body. Always consult your doctor first before starting a colon cleanse program.
Step 1
Drink at least 64 oz. of purified or filtered water each day. Water helps break down toxins and accumulated waste in the body.
Step 2
Increase your fiber intake by eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans and nuts. You may choose to take a fiber supplement instead. Fiber fills you up, improves digestion and controls blood sugar levels.
Step 3
Drink an herbal laxative tea such as milk thistle or senna at night. These all-natural and organic laxatives work gently with your body to eliminate toxins in the colon.
Step 4
Maintain a healthy immune system and promote regularity through a probiotic supplement. A probiotic supplement contains good bacteria for the intestinal tract and provides more comfortable digestion.
Step 5
Exercise at least 30 minutes on five or more days of the week. The physical activity will support your digestive and immune system during a cleanse.
