The body has effectively two "brains" - the one located in our head, and the one located in our gut. We normally do not pay a lot of attention to the colon - we usually think more about the heart, brain, and lungs as more important organs to take care of.
However, consider this :
Our colon is the 3rd most common organ where cancer develops.
Colon Cancer is one of the leading cause of cancer death in developed nations
Think that's not enough ? Also consider this :
When toxins end up in our colon, they can ultimately do one of 2 things:
A colon cleanse is necessary in cleaning out the various toxins stuck in our colon, but afterwards it's just as important to maintain that clean colon. Afterall, no matter how many times you clean your colon through medical means, if you do not maintain a clean colon and a healthy diet, then all efforts are wasted.
We can start with of course, a clean diet that's good for the colon. What foods are involved in this diet ? Fiber and more fiber.
To promote regularly, we need fiber. That's obvious to many people, yet a lot of us don't get enough of it, so we need to stress the point.
Get your greens every single day.
Eat nuts: Brazil nuts, almonds, walnuts, and chestnuts. Avoid peanuts and cashews as much as possible. They aren't as healthy as the aforementioned ones.
Whole grains: Choose barley and rye. Consider eating some Kichadi and legumes for lunch. Wild rice is excellent too, and superior to white rice.
A high-fiber diet helps toxins, residue waste, and fecal matter sweep out of the colon. It prevents constipation by stimulating peristalsis, and making our bowels less hard.
Fiber is divided into two types: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber helps increase the amount of good bacteria, which helps rid us of bad bacteria such as E.Coli.
Good Sources:
- Flaxseed
- Legumes, beans, and peas.
- Oats, rice, and barley.
- Strawberries
- Citrus, and apples
Insoluble Fiber prevents constipation.
Good Sources:
- Whole wheat, rye, brown rice, barley
- carrots
- brussel sprouts
- cabbage, beets
Everyone needs between 22-36 grams of fiber a day. Most people unfortunately don't even come close to reaching this amount. Ideally, we should be getting at least 6 servings of veggies and fruits, and 6+ of whole grains. If you're not getting enough fiber, consider taking fiber supplements. However, it is better to get it from whole foods.
Green Foods
Green foods contains a ton of chlorophyll, which is great for the colon. Chlorophyll helps smoothens any damaged tissue in the GI tract. With chlorophyll, our body gets more oxygens and releases more toxins.
Good Sources:
-wheatgrass, spirulina, algae
-Perfect Food supplement Fermented Foods
Many of our diets lack fermented foods. We need these foods to maintain the balance of bacteria in our GI tract. They help keep toxic substances in check, reduce the number of bad bacteria, and provide energy to the colon.
Good Sources:
-Cultured yogurt
-Kefir (preferably homemade)
-Sauerkraut
Water
Ideally we should drink up to ten cups of water a day. Whenever I feel sick, or dizzy I immediately reach out for my bottle of water. There's something called the Water Cure, for those who are interested about learning the benefits of water.
Do not consume alcohol, or substitute water with black tea or coffee. If you want, you can add a bit of lemon, or sea salt to the water for some electrolytes.
So once again, here is the type of diet you should follow after colon cleansing :

When toxins end up in our colon, they can ultimately do one of 2 things:
- Be elimintated through easy bowel movements.
- Be backed up back into our body, where it can end up in our bloodstream, and ultimately cause cell damage or cancer.
