Colon Cleanse Diet

The colon cleanse diet is considered by health professionals and other supporters of colon cleansing to be the most simple and effective diet to use over time. With a colon cleanse diet you are required to completely change your eating habits.

The first step required in beginning a colon cleanse diet is to eliminate such things as pasteurized dairy products, processed meats, oils & foods with artificial flavoring, refined sugar, alcohol, caffeine and soft drinks. These types of products cause the digestive system to slow down and removing them from your diet helps your digestive system.

The second step is to eat a lot of fresh, raw vegetables and fruits as they promote and aid proper digestion. More than half of your diet should contain fresh, raw vegetables and fruits.

Finally, you will need to eat foods high in fiber, as much as 35 – 50 grams each day. Fiber helps to keep your digestive system clean. Be sure to drink at 8 – 10 glasses of water daily, which will help your digestive system better utilize the added daily fiber.
