What's The Real Deal With Colon Cleansers?

By Dorthy Weatherbush

Eating healthy is the key to maintaining a properly functioning colon. The reality is that in our fast paced environment, many of us do not eat the way we know we should. Given this fact, some have found colon cleansing products a quick fix to a healthier lifestyle. While there are some benefits to using colon cleansers, these agents can also be misapplied as a solution to weight gain and this is not a proper use of them.

If you are a healthy person, you should be experiencing a healthy bowel movement at least once a day. If this does not describe you then perhaps it is time for a colon cleanse. When choosing a cleansing product, it is always a wise choice to stick with a more natural herbal cleansing solution. You will find that these cleanses have a more immediate impact on increasing your metabolism, boosting your energy and helping your body absorb many of the nutrients it lacks. When you have completed your cleanse, it is important to note that you should feel lighter and resume normal bowel functions.

One of the scariest trends today is the use of colon cleansers as a dieting program. This is the sad reality of the infomercial society in which we live. Any one that is telling you that you can lose 8 or more pounds after being on an intense cleanse, is really pulling your leg. At most you might lose 3 - 5 pounds, however the maintenance of a healthy diet and weight loss program is demanding. For colon cleansers to be effective, you have to decide that you are going to make a change in your eating habits.

There a number of different types of colon cleansers. Liquid cleansers, which require you to eat nothing, and pills that are consumed in conjunction with a diet high in fiber and raw foods such as fruits and vegetables are the most common types. Colon cleansing is not a quick one-time solution for weight loss. For a colon cleanser to have the most optimum effect, one still has to change their diet and lifestyle. Otherwise, the weight is going to keep coming back.

Some other benefits to colon cleansers (besides a few pounds lost) are that they will help your digestive system function more efficiently, you will become energized, and your skin (complexion) will improve. The health of your liver, colon, and blood may also improve. When there are harmful toxins in your body, often your blood and liver are affected the most by these.

Almost anything in life can be harmful if taken to extremes. It is important to exercise moderation in every area of our lives. We've all heard the saying "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." If you are looking to take a pill and instantly lose pounds every week, then you are turning to colon cleansers for the wrong reason. They should be used to become a healthier, more energetic person, not a skinnier one. - 17269
