The colon plays a leading role in the well-being of each individual. This organ, also called large intestine, participates in the process of digestion and the maintenance of a healthy body. However, modern diets can hinder the functioning of the colon and cause various physiological disorders. Bloating, constipation, stomachaches, are all problems that face those who suffer from intestinal problems. These relatively embarrassing symptoms should alert and call everyone to an awareness of his or her eating pattern.
Many toxins can accumulate in the colon and disrupt the quality of life of the people who undergo them. Indeed, gastrointestinal diseases are constantly increasing in our modern society because of a poor lifestyle.
Causes of toxin accumulation in the colon
The body has five emunctory organs, which allow it to naturally eliminate toxins: the liver, kidneys, intestines, lungs and skin. However, when there is an accumulation of waste in the body, the body weakens and the emunctory organs can no longer perform their mechanism properly. Thus, the body becomes overloaded with waste and some annoying symptoms may occur.
Here are some factors that promote the accumulation of toxins in the colon:
- Industrial foods rich in additives and dyes
- Products rich in sugars
- Saturated fats
- Alcohol and tobacco
- Stress
- Pollution
Two very effective methods to get rid of waste in the colon:
Fortunately, there are some tips to help you combat this overflow of toxins and to find a healthy colon.
NB: To take care of your health to the maximum, choose foods from organic farming, without pesticides and without chemical fertilizers.
- First cure: the salty drink
This drink includes nutrient-rich ingredients that take care of your intestinal flora and cleanses your colon.

The cure can last for 7 days, depending on the need you feel. Drink this juice every morning, on an empty stomach, to fully enjoy its benefits and regain good digestion.
Benefits of the drink:
Rich in citric acid, lemon promotes the production of bile by the liver. This substance helps the liver to better degrade foods and promote the digestive process. For its part, the apple contains pectin, a fiber that accelerates the intestinal transit and helps to eliminate the waste accumulated in the colon.
In addition, ginger has proven therapeutic properties. Indeed, this spice helps fight against intestinal disorders and reduce bloating. Finally, sea salt has an antibacterial activity that helps fight bad bacteria that can disrupt the intestinal flora.

Benefits of food:
Apple cider vinegar has many health benefits. Thus, it helps to reduce the microbes that can hinder the digestive process. Honey, on the other hand, is a natural prebiotic that stimulates the growth of good bacteria important to the gut. In addition, it is an antioxidant that protects the body from the harmful effects caused by free radicals.
Finally, psyllium is a fiber that has a laxative power. Thus, it reduces bloating and accelerates intestinal transit to eliminate waste accumulated in the colon.
