A Total Body Cleanse Starts With the Colon

Juicing is a great way to help toilet paperwith a complete body cleanse. Fresh Juices supply us with an abundance of vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, antioxidants and enzymes in a way that is easily and quickly absorbed. This provides tremendous support to our major detoxification organs – the liver, kidneys and colon. Before starting any kind of detox method we must ensure that the colon is functioning properly. Many of the toxins that are released during whole body cleansing are transported from the liver to the colon to be eliminated. If we are not having a bowel movement at least once a day we will reabsorb a lot of the toxins back into the bloodstream. Some health experts even believe that we should have one bowel movement for every meal we eat. If we eat three meals a day, we should poop three times a day.

Colon Health:
1) The most important thing we can do for the colon is to eat plenty of fiber daily. We should cut out refined grains and swap them for whole grains, eat at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day, include nuts, seeds and legumes in our diet. This will help bulk up the feces and move it through. Taking psyllium husks is also highly recommended to help with elimination.

2) Drink at least 8 glasses of water each day, the colon will slow down if we get dehydrated.

3) Seriously cut back on sugar. I recommend only [ad#Probiotic]eating sugar which comes naturally in fruits and vegetables. White sugar, brown sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and other forms of added sugar feed undesirable intestinal bacteria, such as candida. This can play havoc with digesting and eliminating food, causing problems like IBS, constipation, diarrhea, allergies, infections and an under functioning immune system. Taking a high quality probiotic supplement is recommended, and can go a long way to improve intestinal flora and digestive health.

4) Clearing out old fecal matter is another important step in colon health. Unless we have been eating a pure diet all our lives or have already undertaken some strong colon cleansing methods, we will almost certainly have old feces hanging out in the colon. Yes, this is true, as unpleasant and unhealthy as it sounds! However, there are herbs we can take that help to shift this old fecal matter, improve peristalsis and help re-lubricate the colon wall. Look for herbal supplements that contain any or all of these herbs – Ginger Root, Fennel, Termianlia Cherbula, Cape Aloe, Senna, Barberry Rootbark, and Barberry Rootbark. A good quality Aloe Vera gel or juice is also beneficial for shifting old fecal matter.

5) Exercising is one of the best gifts you give to your colon health. Thirty minutes of cardiovascular exercise at least three time a week really helps keep the bowel moving. Yoga and Tai Chi are also great and help with digestion. To read more about nutrition for exercise visit muscle recovery

Juices for Colon Health:
Some fresh juices help to bulk up the feces and also help provide beneficial vitamins and oils that can help improve the quality of the mucous lining of the colon wall. Here are some juicer recipes tailored for the colon.

Total Body Cleanse Juice #1 – Carrot Juice
carrote juice5 large carrots

Carrots are beneficial for helping regenerate the mucous membranes of the colon wall. This is due to their generous supply of vitamin A, which is needed for the health of all mucous membranes in the body. Carrot juice is also great for bulking up the feces.

Total Body Cleanse Juice #2 – Apple and Pear
2 apples
2 pears

No need to peel the apples and pears, this will add some fiber to the juice. Apple and pear juices are great for helping the bowels move, so this is also a great constipation remedy.

Total Body Cleanse Juice #3 – Lemon Juice
2 lemons
water to dilute

Only juice the flesh of the lemons. Add water to your taste. This is a great juice to take on an empty stomach before breakfast. It has a great flushing effect, and is actually very beneficial for the kidneys and liver. If you warm it up a little it can help move the bowels even more, but don’t overdo the heat. The hotter the juice, the more the nutrients are destroyed.

Total Body Cleanse Juice #4 – ACL Colon cleanse
4 carrots
1 apple
1 lemon

This juice is great for your colon and will really help jump start a colon cleanse.

Juices to Cleanse Your Body of Toxic Heavy Metals

Heavy metal detoxification is an in-depth crane hookbut necessary process to attain optimum health. I can only begin to scratch the surface of this in-depth process in this post. You will find tailor-made juices that provide specific nutrients and foods to induce a heavy metal detox. For a better understanding of heavy metal detoxification, please check out the great links at the end.

Chelation Therapy:
Chelation is a fundamental aspect of heavy metal detoxification. It was first used as a therapy during WW1 to help with the effects of arsenic based gas poisoning. It was further develop in WW2 to help navy personnel who suffered lead poisoning from painting ships. Chelation therapy is the intake of certain nutrients or foods that turn poisonous metals such as arsenic, lead and mercury into a more chemically inert form that is safe enough to be excreted.

Oxidative Stress:
nuclear power stationOxidative stress is the presence of rogue molecules called free radicals that attack our cells. This can cause damage to our organs and DNA, speed up the aging process and increase our risk of developing cancer and heart disease. The presence of poisonous heavy metals in our cells greatly increases the effects of oxidative stress. When a free radical collides with a heavy metal particle it can result in creation of a million more free radicals! Our natural defense against this is to increase our intake of antioxidants, which “tackle” free radicals and render them inert.

As we can see, increasing our intake of antioxidants along with foods that have chelation properties are two important steps in heavy metal detoxification.

Here is a list of foods and nutrients with chelation and antioxidant effects:

1) Vitamin C intake has been shown to help lower heavy metal toxicity in the general public. It is suggested that doses of at least 2000mg per day are needed for vitamin C to act as a chelating agent. A high quality supplement of vitamin C is recommended along with juicing to achieve the necessary dosage.

Vitamin C is also a potent antioxidant, an essential ingredient in combating free radicals. One study has shown that vitamin C helps protect the lungs from inhaled oxidative pollutants.

2) Vitamin E has been shown to chelate mercury and flush it out of the system. Vitamin E is also a powerful antioxidant. When vitamin C and E are taken together they work in a partnership enhancing their antioxidant effects.

3) Vitamin A – although not necessarily a chelation agent, it is an integral part of the antioxidant family and important for the protection of our cells.

4) Glutathione is considered by many health professionals as the king of antioxidants. It is a key player for cleansing your body of toxic heavy metals. It has been shown to be effective at enabling the body to deal with cadmium, iron, lead, and mercury. Also, low blood levels of glutathione is directly related to increased toxicity. Although glutathione is made by the body, it is safe to assume that many people are seriously deficient. The oxidative stress incurred by these take a heavy toll, and deplete the presence of glutathione in our cells. It is very important, not only for heavy metal detox, but for overall health to increase the amount of glutahione within our bodies. Increasing vitamin C intake has been shown to raise glutathione levels to some degree. Asparagus, broccoli and spinach contain amino acids that are known to help raise glutathione levels. To greatly increase glutathione I highly recommend a product called Immunocal HMS 90.

5) Cilantro is an herb of the parsley family and a great asset for heavy metal removal. Studies have shown that it is very effective at removing mercury and has become a standard in many detox programs.

If you are using organic then the carrots only need to be washed, if not peel them to reduce the amount of pesticides in the juice. Asparagus contains the highest known levels of glutathione in any food source. Asparagus, broccoli and carrots all provide vitamin C to also help increase glutathione levels, as well as providing other antioxidants like vitamin A.

Cleanse your Body Juice #3 – Super Dose Antioxidants
2 kiwi
2 cups of blackberries
2 cup of blueberries

This combo is a great source of vitamins A,C and E.

This is a great overall juice for heavy metal detox- high in antioxidants and glutathione. The bitter greens also help the liver secrete bile to aid in flushing out these toxic heavy metals. If this juice is too unpalatable for you add some apple to sweeten.
