It is a well known fact that 'Death begins in the colon'.

A healthy colon is absolutely essential for a long and healthy life and should be one of the most important aspects of your health regime.

Autopsies often reveal colons that are plugged up to 80% with waste material.

Constipation is a huge problem, and I know from first hand experience. It was because of my health issues that I spent hours and hours and hours searching for information to help me with my problems. I have been interested in natural health for many years and I wanted a colon cleanse that contained natural, gentle on the system, herbal ingredients.

My first attempt was a few years ago but I found the product to be too harsh on my system, I even tried colonics and although they are to be recommended, it was a long process over many visits and quite costly, so I kept looking.

This is just some of what I have learned, and it doesn't always make for happy reading, but if you want to live a long and healthy life then please, read on.

Our body is truly a magnificent machine, but unfortunately we don't come with a manual on how to care for our body. We only begin to think about body maintenance when something goes wrong and by the time we notice the symptoms it can be too late.

Both fat and skinny people hold large amounts of mucoid matter in their colon. One bowel movement a day does not mean you do not have waste build up.

Constipation is serious. Mucoid (waste in colon) is a combination of mucous, drugs and fecal matter. This can accumulate in your colon for years which in turn can lead to:

* Gas and bloating
* Diverticulitis
* Weight gain
* Acid reflux
* Chronic fatigue
* Skin and hair problems
* Chron's disease
* Leaky gut syndrome
* Hemorrhoids
* Colitis

Constipation can also be the cause of prostate problems in men. A backed- up bowel causes the colon to swell and push against the prostate, allowing bacteria to enter the prostate from the colon.

Chemicals, pesticides, poor water quality and toxins are everywhere, in the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe; every time we eat or drink we ingest yet more toxins into our overworked system.

Our bodies simply cannot cope with the elimination of these different toxins that we inhale and ingest every day. They build up in our waste system, causing the kind of health problems previously mentioned.

Other organs of the body also suffer as a result of build up in the colon. It can affect the skin and cause poor liver function, which in turn puts more strain on the kidneys and lungs. Each organ is affected by poor function of another.

With a clean bowel you feel so much lighter and brighter, just think of all the unseen weight we are carrying around. A clean bowel can be the difference between youth and vitality or illness and aging. If you make the effort to cleanse the bowel, your life can be transformed and the nagging symptoms of constipation will be a thing of the past.

I had to learn the hard way, I went from constipation to colon toxicity which in turn lead to liver and intestinal problems, and although I feel much, much better now, it has been a long road, so please - look after your colon. It is important to understand how very hard our body tries to keep us on an even keel and paying more attention to our lifestyle, what we eat and what we drink is crucial. It's only when the body can't keep up with the constant barrage of toxins that it finally starts to fail and illness begins.

Drinking lots of good quality water and eating a healthy diet of fresh fruits and vegetables (organic is possible) are so important. Eat a diet rich in fiber, good wholesome grains and take regular exercise of some kind, all of these help in eliminating waste from the system, but sometimes even this isn't enough and you may need a colon cleanse.

Everyone should have a colon cleanse, at least once a year, the benefits are huge and dramatic. A cleanse is simple to do and very safe, so for the sake of your health, please look after your colon.
