Colon Supplements: Are They Worth the Money?
Today, we are going to explore the wonderful (or not so wonderful) world of colon cleansers. There are many on the market and they are one of the most popular forms of health supplements that you can find. Here, we are going to take a look at the way in which our digestive system, and in particular the colon, work, and how supplements can help them become more efficient.
How the Colon & Digestive Systems Work
Next time you feel nervous when in the company of someone you find foreboding, just picture this: right now, they are carrying poop around in their intestines. This never fails to prove a great equaliser for me.
It also points to the way in which our digestive system works: as long as we have a consistent diet and eat regularly, the digestive system is always engaged. At any given moment, we are carrying around at least 1lb of waste products.
Now, carrying around this extra waste is normal. However, it can become disrupted. If the waste becomes stuck, or if it moves through the system too fast, it can be dangerous. The first can cause toxins to build up in the body, as well as causing constipation, which at times can be life-threatening. The latter means that we do not have enough time to extract the nutrients from our foods, and if it happens too often, we can end up malnourished.
Why Do We Need Colon Cleansers?
When we become constipated, our body finds it difficult to pass waste products. This increases the number of toxins in the body and also contributes to an increase in the number of dangerous bacteria in the body. In turn, we can suffer from numerous problems, including:
- Brain fog and fatigue
- Migraines
- Thrush
- Flatulence and trapped wind (Which can be extremely painful)
- Mood disorders
- Tummy pain
- Bad breath
The list goes on and on.
Colon cleansers, such as Colosan capsules, help to clean the colon. This happens in two different ways:
- It helps to loosen any compacted faecal matter (i.e. it loosens constipation), which can then pass through the body.
- It helps create a friendly environment within the digestive tract, which means that our good bacteria (that helps fight off infections and helps us to break down food) can flourish.
In short, supplements such as Colosan capsules restore our bowels back to health. The exception is when you have severe digestive problems. In these instances, you will need to visit your GP and potentially undergo a hospital admission. Very few people realise the seriousness of extreme constipation. It can be extremely dangerous. Fortunately, it is relatively rare and tends to be something that happens in old age.
With mild to moderate symptoms, a colon cleanse is really all you need. These cleansers also act as a preventative, minimising the risks that the problem will recur.
Finally, it is important that you eat a balanced diet and that you exercise regularly. These are the natural defences against colon and digestive issues. Clearly modern life is not set up to care so much for our bodies, and this is why we are seeing an increasing number of people turning to supplements to help.
