Tips for Exercising While on a Colon Cleanse

It’s important to ensure that while you are doing a colon cleanse you are exercising regularly to achieve maximum weight loss. This doesn’t mean that you need to be pumping iron at the gym or running marathons, but you should definitely be adding some regular exercise in to your daily routine to help the process along. Here are a couple of easy tips to milk some exercise from your day.

Tips for Exercising While on a Colon CleanseTip 1 – Walk or take transit to work: This one is the easiest. If you’re within an hour’s walk to your workplace, then skip bringing the car at least a couple days per week. If you’re not that close or you need to ensure that you can minimize your time spent walking… you can always take transit. Believe it or not, even the walk to the bus stop and back on both ends of your trip will add up. If it’s a mile in total from your house to the bus stop and from the bus stop on the other end to your workplace, you’ll add 20 miles a month of walking in to your routine. Very easy!

Tip 2 – Park at the far end of the parking lot: When you head shopping, to the mall, or anywhere that you’re facing a huge parking lot – just park at the far end. Unless you’re planning on purchasing something enormous like a television, you’ll be able to handle the walk there and back with ease. If you’re buying groceries for the family, you can always push the shopping cart through the parking lot to your car. Believe me – it’s amazing how much additional walking you can get out of this simple tip.

Tip 3 – Go for a walk after every meal: If you want to ensure that you’re burning off calories that are coming in, go for a brisk 20-30 minute walk after each meal. This will boost your metabolism, causing you to digest your food a bit faster so that your body can claim the energy needed, and the quicker metabolism will use additional calories to get the job done.

Tip 4 – Take the stairs: Here’s how this works. Any time you see an elevator, find the stairs and use them instead. If you see an escalator – be sure to walk on it instead of standing. Taking the stairs *down* generally doesn’t give much of a benefit so feel free to use the elevator while going down to save time. But taking the stairs up is a challenging exercise that will definitely maximize your calorie burn!

There you go – a few easy tips that will help you maximize the amount of weight loss you experience while colon cleansing. Good luck and keep at it!!

Foods to Eat and Foods to Avoid While Colon Cleansing

Apples are a great colon cleanse foodWhether this is your first colon cleanse or not, and no matter how long you are planning on cleansing for, it is critical to ensure that you’re eating the proper foods during and after your cleanse.

Here are some foods that you will want to avoid during your colon cleanse:

Fried Foods – foods that are fatty and heavy in fats or grease will be a detriment to your cleanse. Be sure to stay away from all things fried, and especially stay away from fast food.

Junk Food – junk food should need no explanation. Your cleanse will be compromised if you’re eating junk food while you’re on it. Stay away from chips, soft drinks, sugary foods, pretzels, pop tarts, and whatever else gives you your fix.

White flour and rice – If you’re the type that can’t get by without your daily toast, stay away from the white bread and pick up a loaf of 100% whole wheat. The same goes for rice — stay away from minute rice and aim for whole grain brown rice. It takes a bit longer to cook, but has a much higher level of nutrients and fiber.

Prepackaged Foods - try to stay away from anything that is processed. On top of having any number of added chemicals, processed foods tend to have very high levels of salt, which will negatively impact your cleanse by dehydrating you and taxing your digestive system.

Here are some of the foods that you want to include in your daily diet while cleansing:

Water – water is one of the requirements for life and is the most important part of your cleanse. Your body will require a good deal of water to assist with flushing the toxins out of your colon and digestive tract. Be sure to keep your body well hydrated.

Fiber – foods with high amounts of fiber — especially insoluble fiber, or what your Grandmother calls “roughage” — are excellent foods to consume during your cleanse. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and whole grains such as brown rice, oatmeal or bran flakes will assist with clearing out your system during the cleanse and maintaining a proper working order afterward. Acai is a recommended dietary supplement to take while colon cleansing due to its high fiber.

Chlorophyll – foods that are a deep green color generally contain high amounts of chlorophyll, which will help with soothing damaged tissues in your colon. Think of vegetables such as spinach, kale, wheatgrass, buckwheat and others.

Healthy Fats - your body still needs fats, but it’s important to be picky which kind of fats you’re taking in. Aim for “healthy” fats, such as olive or nut oils, oily fish such as salmon, or foods like avocado. Flax has a high level of omega fatty acids as well, and can easily be added to many dishes.

After reading through both of those lists it should come as little surprise that the foods to avoid should be avoided all of the time, and the foods to eat should be part of your regular diet. Having a successful colon cleanse and a healthy, functioning colon requires you to maintain a healthy diet. Your colon cleanse will improve the overall health of your digestive system — it’s up to you to maintain your good health going forward!
