Colon Cleanse Recipe

A lot of people are beginning to realize the harmful effects of waste accumulating in our bodies. Whether due to poor diet — eating fast food, processed or canned food, or because of the polluted air we breathe, or even the stresses we face daily, these wastes accumulate in the body, and can lead to serious diseases.

A cleaner body starts with a cleaner colon, and many people would want to try a colon cleanse recipe. It may sound difficult, but it is fairly simple, using ingredients which can be easily bought at the stores. The best ingredients in this recipe are fruits and vegetables, especially those rich in fiber. Broccoli sprouts, watercress, green leafy vegetables are good. Flax seed is also a good source of fiber. Grinding them and including them in your oatmeal for breakfast will give you fiber as well as omega 3.

A colon cleanse recipe can be found in kits available in certain markets, but the thing to keep in mind is that the recipe does not include expensive or hard to find ingredients, so you might want to do it on your own. Also, it is a good way of introducing your body to the detoxification process.

Another important thing is that you need to drink lots of liquid. Water helps flush the body, and fresh fruit juices include the many essential vitamins and minerals, not to mention fiber, needed by the body. Also, it helps hydrate you, as the detoxification process removes a lot of liquid in the body. To keep yourself from being dehydrated, always drink as much liquid as you can. Ten to twelve glasses of liquid should be good, but drinking more does not hurt.

For a more intense colon cleanse recipe, mix a teaspoon of edible Epsom salts in 20 ounces of water. Mix it, and then drink. Make sure you stay at home when you do this, as you will need to go to the bathroom as it cleans the wastes in your body.

Many good colon cleansing recipes rely primarily on herbs as they have been used in detoxification diets for many centuries. To help promote bile production, a bitter plant is always included in colon cleanser recipes. By including fennel and garlic in your homemade colon cleansing recipe is a great way to kill harmful bacteria residing in the intestines.

Bentonite clay is also used along with apple juice and fiber powder in some colon cleanse diet. Acidophilus, flaxseed meal and Green Magic are also ingredients used in many recipes. The most common ingredients in colon cleanse diet are curacao and can aloe leaf, senna, cascara sagrada, barberry root bark, ginger rhizome, garlic bulb, turkey rhubarb, cayenne pepper, fennel and ginger.

Many people today are using proven natural cleansing methods and nutritional supplements to detoxify their bodies and greatly improve their overall internal health and well being.
