Herbs can help you to stay well; particularly, for the colon, the use of Dr Christopher's herbal 'cascara compound' formula, which is covered in other articles. But perhaps the biggest effect on good health is through your daily lifestyle habits.
The most important areas of lifestyle to consider when you wish to support Colon Cleansing are:
1. Diet
2. Exercise
3. Relaxation.
This article focuses on diet.
Colon Cleansing And Diet
Naturopathic advice on diet usually includes:
a. Reducing meat and dairy food to a minimum
b. Eat moderate amounts of fish, if you like fish
c. Increasing vegetables in the diet - with the exception of starchy vegetables - mainly potatoes, which should be kept at a modest level
d. Increasing fruit in the diet
e. Reducing 'bad habit' foods; sugar, alcohol, tobacco, tea, coffee
f. Increasing pulses, beans, nuts and seeds
g. Using olive oil for dressings and if used for cooking
h. Using 'vegetable' milk and cream - e.g. soya cream, oat milk.
These are good general guideline; but diet is quite a complex issue. You have to find a diet which makes sense to you and one which suits you. We are all different in this respect. There are also issues of bringing other family members 'on board' with dietary ideas, or having to prepare 2 or more different meals at family meal times.
These issues can be tricky to deal with, but with determination and flexibility they can be resolved. The main point to remember is that it is your health you want to look after - not so much that of others. You need to try and do all you can to make your own diet satisfactory.
A healthy diet is an essential part of thorough colon cleansing. If you are using Dr Christopher's herbal 'cascara compound' to help the bowel, do pay attention to diet. Also to be considered are exercise and relaxation, the subject of other articles.
