You are always careful about what you eat. At the very least, you make sure your food is clean, free from any germs or parasites lurking around. At the most, you want all your food to be healthy for you. But did you know that what comes out of your body is equally as important as the food that you take in?

Think about it. How many times in a day do you think about what you will eat or have eaten? How many times have you even thought about your colon?

You’re what?

You got it…YOUR COLON.
And we’re not talking about the punctuation mark here.

Getting to Know Your Colon

The colon is also called the large intestine. It is the last part of our digestive system and is 1.5 meters long. The colon starts after the small intestine and ends in the anus. It stores wastes, absorbs water and vitamins from half-digested food, and maintains water balance.

When half-digested food enters the colon, almost all the nutrients and water from food have already been absorbed by the body through the small intestine.  What are left of the food are dietary fiber and other electrolytes. The rest of the water left in the half-digested food is absorbed by the colon.

Inside the colon’s walls is a mucus membrane. Some bacteria also thrive inside the colon. When digested food passes, the mucus membrane absorbs the fluids and coats the food with mucus to lubricate it. The digested food when combined with bacteria and mucus then becomes feces. The feces is then eliminated from the body through the colon.

Why Your Colon Is Dirty

Our colon is supposed to naturally eliminate all waste in our body. That is if it is efficiently doing its work. However, the modern diet has transformed our colon from an efficient sewer system into a torpid cesspool.  If you can’t picture it, just imagine that your garbage collector hasn’t been doing his or her job for about a month. That’s how dirty your colon is right now.

Studies have shown that the modern diet has seriously affected how your colon functions. Inside your colon are about 15 pounds of accumulated gunk from rotting half-digested red meat and highly processed foods.  And you’re thinking why you’re gaining weight?

Your Colon’s Defenses Gone Haywire

You might be wondering where that 15 pounds of rotting waste stay in the colon? Think about what you’ve just read about your colon. Remember the mucus membrane around the colon’s walls? This mucus membrane protects you from any harmful substances. When you eat food that’s harmful for you, your body sends signals to your colon to strengthen its lining. Your colon thickens the mucus lining to prevent any toxic substances from entering your body. Now, imagine your colon always doing this every time you pop that red meat into your mouth.

Your colon’s not designed to do that. It is overworked. It’s system has gone haywire and what you’re left with is a black, tar-like substance that grows to until one-half inch thick. Worse, it solidifies and clogs up your colon.

The Dangers of a Dirty and Clogged Colon

A Nobel-prize winning Russian scientist, Elie Metchnikoff, studied the colon in his research about immunity. He found out that most illnesses can be traced from a dirty or congested colon. He said that deadly toxins can accumulate inside the body that may result to all sorts of diseases and illnesses.

You may have heard of the phrase:
DEATH BEGINS IN THE COLON

Well there is 100% Truth to that phrase, as outlined below…

The following are diseases and conditions typically caused by an unhealthy colon:

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
• Constipation
• Stomach pain
• Lethargy or lack of energy
• Digestive problems
• Colorectal cancer
• Toxemia
• Chron’s disease
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Diarrhea
• Diverticulitis
• Colitis pseudo-membranous colitis
• Polyposis
• Ulcerative colitis
• Toxic megacolon
• Hirschsprung’s disease/aganglionosis /angiodysplasia of the colon

And the above afflictions are

Cleaning Up Your Act

The best way to clear up your clogged colons is not to switch to a more healthy diet. Do you think eating more bran or any other fiber-rich food will help you? Here’s another question. When you change the oil of your engine, do you mix the new oil with the old, dirty oil left in your engine? Obviously, no.

The fibrous food won’t be able to pass through your clogged colon without having to eliminate the clogging first. So before you try any healthy diet, and taking the right combinations of healthy food is a must, you must unclog your cesspool first. Look for a clinically tested and approved product like the Ultimate Colon Cleansing System to free up your colon from its waste. Then, your newly cleaned healthy colon will be better able to absorb your new diet. And if you cannot go on a diet, you’ll still know that your colon won’t be overworked the next time you bite into your steak.
