What To Do In-Between A Colon Cleanse – Tips for Better Digestion
What you do in-between a colon cleanse is just as important as to what you do during one. You can do all the hard work during the days or weeks of a colon detox to quickly lose all the benefits by eating poorly after wards.
It goes without saying that in-between your detoxes you should live a healthy lifestyle – stop smoking, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, consume lean meat and avoid sugar, fat and caffeine. These are really the basics to prevent a critical build up of toxins in the system. However, here are some extra tips that you can try to have an even better experience while waiting for your next cleanse.
- Your first drink in the morning should be water with fresh lemon. Lemon will stimulate your digestive system and getting the bowels moving.
- At some stage through the day, you should eat a yogurt high in probiotic. Probiotic are live bacteria which are the good type which live in the digestive system. When you have plenty of this good bacterium, your bowels will function better with less bloating and constipation and more regularity.
- A must is to consume lots of fiber. This will increase the size of your stools which pushes out the waste from your digestive tract. Fiber also facilitates the growth of good bacteria in the bowels.
- Consume prebiotics which are non-digestible food ingredients which can increase the levels of good bacteria.
- Aloe juice is a natural laxative which can cleanse the bowel and keep the digestive system healthy. It is best to drink it before meals, twice a day.
- Don’t consume cold food or cold drinks while eating food. The body finds it easiest to digest food at body temperature. If you eat cold food or drink it will slow down the digestive processes and the body will have more difficulty in processing the food.
- Finally, don’t overeat. If you continually eat until you are over-full you will put pressure on your digestive system which will need to slow down to processes the excess amount of food. A good rule of thumb is to eat until you are three-quarters full.
