Mind is All

Have you been tempted to try a colon cleanse, but are afraid you'll end up indisposed for a day or two? You can choose from a variety of types of colon cleanse to find the one that works best for you. But how do you choose which colon cleanse to try?

Colon cleanses have become stable pieces in the detox end of health regimens because they rid your body of excess waste, resulting in a slimmer waistline, more energy, and a sense of starting fresh. Most Americans eat lousy diets, resulting in bloating, constipation, and the storage of extra crap - literarlly. After you've run the liquid plumber through your system, you can make better choices about what you eat and drink, keeping the system clean and healthy.

There are three types of commonly used colon cleanses. You can try any or all of these to find out what works best for you.

High colonics are probably the scariest for most newbies, as they involve high pressure water. However, high colonics are conducted by professionals, so you can relax, knowing the process will be over quickly and safely.

A natural colon cleanse consists of a dietary shift such that you consume foods and liquids that will encourage bowel movements. You can find lists of colon cleansing foods and beverages online--prunes, prune juice, and senna tea are three popular choices, although there are many others as well.

Another option is to follow a plan that uses an over-the-counter colon cleanse product; these come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. They can come in the form of powders, beverages, capsules, medications, or teas, and work to stimulate bowel movements.

In any case, you’ll want to take the gentlest approach for your first colon cleanse. Plan your colon cleanse such that you'll have time to use the bathroom, and make sure you use the lowest dosage of the prescribed plan, slowly increasing how much you use until you get the intended effect. Be careful not to put yourself in a situation where you're stuck in the restroom all day; you can always use more next time.
