Don’t ignore a toxic colon
THE food transit time through the digestive tract has a great impact on digestive health.
Transit time is the time it takes for food to travel from the mouth through the digestive tract to excretion.
Generally, a healthy colon works to remove waste from the body within 18 to 24 hours after the completion of each meal.
If the transit time of ingested food to waste is more than 30 hours, you probably have a sluggish colon and some degree of constipation.
With today’s modern diet and sedentary lifestyle, the transit time is slowing down to 70 hours.
The longer the waste stays in the colon, the more it putrefies and the more toxins it produces.
Over time, these accumulated wastes can lead to colon toxicity, which is the cause of many health problems.
Dangers of a toxic colon
Once the colon environment
becomes toxic, these same toxins are reabsorbed back into the bloodstream and travel to all parts of the body, and every cell gets affected.
If you ignore a toxic colon, you may be risking your health.
It prevents you from getting nutrients from the food you eat, promotes overgrowth of bad bacteria in the colon and weakens your immune system.
As a result, you may fall sick easily, experience acne, dull complexion, bad breath, poor digestion, tiredness, bloating and unexplained weight gain.
The condition of the colon has a significant effect on other organs and the sense of well-being in general.
Still, many people are not aware that they need a good colon cleansing.
They maintain that the body has its own natural processes to rid toxins.
They tend to forget that people today take in more highly processed food and the environment is steadily deteriorating.
Restore colon health by detoxifying
Enjoying a cup of detox tea is one way to restore colon health.
A detox tea made from organic green tea and natural herbs work naturally and gently to cleanse the bowels and get rid of toxins and excess fat stored in the bowel area.
