Benefits of a Salt Water Colon Cleanse
Your salt water colon cleansing procedure will be more effective the more you massage and stretch your upper, middle, and lower stomach.
Within thirty minutes to two hours after drinking the salt water, you will feel pressure build up in your colon and you will probably have several bowel movements over the next few hours. If you do not experience pressure and heaviness in your bowels, you either need to add more salt to the water or drink more water to completely flush your digestive system. This colon cleanse will actually clean out your system top to bottom.
It is important to remember that this type of colon cleansing cleans out good bacteria that aid in digestion and absorption of nutrients. You will want to replace the good bacteria by taking probiotic supplements and eating yogurt which also has live, colon-friendly, bacteria in it.
Maintain your clean colon by continuing colon cleansing naturally by eating a colon-friendly diet that includes fibrous fruits and veggies, beans, and yogurt. Avoid a lot of red meat, animal fats, refined sugars, and processed foods.
Always consult your doctor before undergoing a colon cleanse, even if it is a home colon cleansing process. Some preexisting colon problems may preclude you from an intensive colon cleanse.
