5 –Lemon Juice
Lemon is rich in vitamin C which is a potent antioxidant. Experts have shown that it supports the health of the colon, and improve the metabolic rate, leading to an improved body’s efficiency at removing waste. Every morning, you should drink a glass of warm lemon water.
6 –Flaxseed
Flaxseed is high in omega-3 fatty acids which loosen the colon, as well as fiber, which supports the elimination of the toxic sludge from the colon. 100 grams of flaxseed have 27 grams of fiber, so include it into your daily diet, but be careful not to consume it in excess amounts, as it can lead to diarrhea.
7 –Ginger Tea
Ginger warms up the inside of the body, and thus accelerates the sluggish digestion and bowel movements. This is how to prepare this tea:
- 2 teaspoons of freshly grated ginger
- A quarter teaspoon of turmeric (to reduce the bloating due to constipation)
- 5 cups of spring water
Add the turmeric and ginger to the water and boil the mixture. Then, let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, remove from heat, and add organic honey.
8 –Probiotics
Probiotics are healthy bacteria, which are high importance as they regulate the bad bacteria that causes the colon and gut blockage. Our body contains sufficient probiotics, but their number can be reduced due to various factors, such as the use of medications like antibiotics.
These foods can help you restore the levels of probiotics in the body:
- Kefir
- Yogurt
- Pickles
- Kombucha
- Sauerkraut
- Dark chocolate
You can also take probiotic supplements.
However, in the case of pregnancy, before you try any of the following ways to cleanse your colon, you should consult your doctor.
