The medical community has come to a consensus that a majority of body ailments and diseases originate in the colon.
If fecal matter is not gotten rid of normally then it starts to become toxic in your body. The body continues to absorb nutrients AND toxins from the waste.
When this happens, your fat cells suck up toxins making it extremely hard to lose weight fast. The high amount of acid given off in the colon encourages microbes to start releasing carcinogenic substances, possibly leading to colon cancer.
Colon cancer is the third most common form of cancer in the world, as well as the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the western world.
It is important to note that the western diet has progressively evolved to include smaller and smaller amounts of raw food. We are the hamburger generation, after all. Of course, fast fat burning is quickly becoming harder and harder for our generation.
One of the easiest ways to benefit colon health is adding raw fiber to diet. Raw fiber is provided by raw vegetables and fruits. It may take a little bit of thinking ahead at first if you are not used to it, but it can quickly become second nature to balance your diet and include fiber.
Here’s how to boost your colon health:
Where’s that Fruit? – How about adding an orange instead of orange juice? Or a banana with a glass of milk on the run?
Help Yourself to a Salad – You can eat a salad with anything and you can eat as much of it as you want (just stay away from the heavy dressing). Mixing Olive Oil, Balsalmic Vinigrette and a splash of lemon juice makes a great healthy salad dressing that won’t make you fat.
Nutty Snacks – Eating these in the proper portions can give you a great weight loss boost. Nuts and seeds contain protein and healthy fats that your body needs to stay healthy. They also include fiber.
Grains – Switch to whole grain – any whole grain – from your regular bleached, enriched white bread and you make a huge jump to adding fiber in your diet. Whole grains also reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, and provide you several B vitamins and Iron as a bonus.
Taking care of your colon health is vitally important for your health and to lose weight fast. Turning these tips into a lifestyle change will slim your waist line and protect your health.
