Now that you’ve completed your colon cleanse, it’s important that a plan for long-term colon health be considered. What you want to avoid is returning to the same sludgy situation. After all, you’ve cleansed for a reason, right? Think of maintaining your healthy colon like cleaning your house. There are just some things that aren’t worth keeping and only cause clutter and stress. Your colon is much the same way, which is why new habits for maintaining a healthy colon are important to instill. Ample information for developing a healthy colon can be found on the Internet, and in books and magazines. However, once you familiarize yourself with the types of foods that promote colon wellness, you may want to adjust existing plans to meet your specific needs.
If you are not sure exactly which foods should be avoided, always remember that the biggest culprit of a diseased colon is over processed foods. These can easily be identified by their lack of color such as unbleached flour, sugar, and white rice. Foods that are dairy based such as milk, cream, eggs, and cheese should also be avoided as they promote mucous build up in the body’s membrane linings. Try to minimize products such as chicken and turkey, especially red meat, and fried foods. Plan on minimizing, if not eliminating altogether, all coffee and alcohol. Rather than trying to eliminate everything at once, substitute foods a little at a time until you’ve managed to transition into a healthier eating program.
Keep in mind that foods high in dietary fiber are a must. These are divided into two categories, soluble and insoluble fibers. Soluble fiber consists of food that increases the amount of good bacteria in the dietary tract. Insoluble fiber consists of food that is not digestible and help to move the waste product out of the colon. Incorporate foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grain into your diet along with those that contain chlorophyll such as alfalfa, barley, and wheat grass for their healing properties. Not only is it important to eat foods that are healthy to your colon, it is necessary to drink adequate amounts of water throughout the day.This aids in flushing out the colon making elimination easier. Some say that 6 to 8 (8 oz) glasses of water should be our guideline, while others suggest that drinking half your body weight in fluid ounces is better. It’s always best to drink purified water or filtered water. By instilling a few dietary changes, you are on your way to optimum health. In time, you will have developed a life long habit for supporting a healthy colon resulting in healthier you.
