Every day we are exposed to toxins in the environment and the food we eat. Pesticides, herbicides, chemicals and processed foods make their way into our body and damage our body’s natural detoxification system. Organs that aid the detoxification and cleansing of our body include the liver, intestines, kidneys and colon. It is important to revitalize the colon and the other organs through a cleanse so that our health and wellness are bolstered. Not only will you eliminate accumulated toxins, but you will also lose weight faster on a cleanse. Always consult your doctor first before starting a colon cleanse.
Step 1
Eliminate coffee, frozen juices, soft drinks or alcohol when doing a colon cleanse. Sugar, sweeteners and caffeine damage the colon and prevent you from weight loss.
Step 2
Drink fresh fruit and vegetable juices from organic produce. The 
vitamins and minerals from fresh juices support the immune system as the body cleanses. Limit your juice intake to 4 to 6 glasses a day. This helps control the number of calories you are consuming and speeds up weight loss.
Step 3
Incorporate between 8 to 12 glasses of purified water into your day. Water helps the digestive system break down and eliminate waste from the colon. Purified water increases the body’s metabolic rate so that you are burning more calories for weight loss.
Step 4
Take 1 to 2 tablespoons of a fiber supplement at night. Choose water-soluble fibers like psyllium seed husks or oat bran. Fiber increases the chances of bowel movements to help you lose weight.
Step 5
Conserve energy by exercising at a low-intensity level. During a cleanse, it is important to allow your body to rest while it is repairing and eliminating accumulated waste in the colon.
