The colon, a part of the digestive system, is responsible for extracting water, salt, vitamins and nutrients from indigestible food matter, processing food that was not digested in the small intestine, and eliminating solid waste from the body.
Raw Vegetable Juice
For colon cleansing, it is essential to keep away from processed and cooked food for one or two days. Instead of solid food, drink fresh vegetable juice several times a day. Green vegetables, in particular contain chlorophyll that helps remove toxins. Also, the vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes present in it will keep your body healthy and well energized. You can also drink herbal teas.
It is advisable not to use ready-made vegetable juices as they do not contain the effective enzymes that help your body break down and remove waste products. You can easily make fresh vegetable juice from carrots, beets, corn, squash, at home using a juicer or blender.
Lemon Juice for a Colon Cleanse
The lemon is a citrus fruit that has antioxidant properties due to its high vitamin C content.
Vitamin C is water soluble so it can travel easily through your body and destroys free radicals, or toxins, which can cause cell damage and lead to serious health conditions, such as cancer. One of the most well-known lemon colon cleanse programs is the master cleanse. It requires you to drink up to 12 glasses of a special lemon mixture every day for seven to 10 days. The drink is made with organic lemon juice, pure water, cayenne pepper, grade B or C maple syrup, plus some laxative, which is optional and should only be used if you have no adverse side effects.
