Research: There are hundreds of colon cleansers on the market. These products range from enemas, herbal laxatives, home colon cleansing kits, to liquid diets such as the Master Cleanse Diet. Some individuals may even prefer office procedures such as a colonic. Spend some time researching your options and find the best one for you.
Increase your water intake: Most people do not drink enough water on a daily basis. Increasing your water intake during a colon cleanse is extremely important because this will help the colon flush out the excess waste. Plain water is best and is recommended over coffee, soft drinks or milk. Sometimes juices are allowed but that will depend on the individual product.
Improve your overall diet: Once your colon cleanse is completed, you will want to reduce the caffeine sugar, processed foods, excess fats, etc. in your diet and adopt a healthy eating plain. You will want to incorporate foods that are lean protein sources, plenty of fruits and vegetables, good sources of carbohydrates, as well as foods rich in fiber.
Remember, whatever method of colon cleansing you choose, a colon cleanser is a great way to jumpstart your new year's weight loss goals. You will start the new year feeling lighter and more refreshed and have more energy to tackle all of your other resolutions.
