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!!

My Colon Solution Review

Note:We’re very sad to say that My Colon Solution is no longer available.

Click Here to read our Latest Colon Cleanse Reviews!
MyColonSolutionHello Readers! Jason here… I hope you’re having a fantastic 2009 so far, reaching your colon cleansing and weight loss goals and feeling fitter and trimmer than ever!

Today’s review is on the MyColonSolution Cleanse and Weight Loss Formula. My Colon Solution has been around for a few years and is recognized as one of the “premier” colon cleanses available on the market today. Having said that, I know from your emails that you prefer it when we review these cleanses in detail so hopefully this information will help you make a decision to try My Colon Solution and their great cleanse.

The aim of My Colon Solution is to rid you of “Intestinal Autointoxication” – which basically means by not keeping your intestinal tract in good health, you are causing toxins to build up in the system which cause damage and spread to the rest of the body. My Colon Solution has a number of different herbal additives that work to both flush the waste that is backed up in your colon, and also to “scrub” the intestinal tract while ensuring that the beneficial bacteria remain intact.

My Colon Solution also contains a high level of fiber, which as you probably know is VERY beneficial to your colon. Having an adequate level of dietary fiber in your diet will ensure that the waste that you do have in your system passes through your digestive tract with ease. My Colon Solution helps a ton with this, which makes it a great daily supplement.

When it comes to weight loss, My Colon Solution does a great job. Not only will you lose the weight as you flush out all of the junk and toxins from your system, you will also have a lot more energy and feel fewer urges to snack and eat outside of your meals. Because of the high level of nutrients and fiber in My Colon Solution, your desire for “junk food” goes down and you’ll stay feeling “full” between meals which should help your weight loss goals quite a bit.

As with some (but not all!) of the colon cleanses you’ve read about here on the site, My Colon Solution does come with a free trial offer for our U.S. READERS ONLY! So if you’re one of our U.S. readers, you can simply click the big blue link below, or you can click this link for your free trial of My Colon Solution.

Acai contains a number of antioxidant phytochemicals such as allicin and genistein which play a vital role in preventing cancer and the degeneration of the body’s cells. Acai is also a great source of nutrients such as Omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, calcium and other vitamins and minerals.

How a Colon Cleanse can Improve your Weight Loss

Are you on a diet, or trying to lose weight? Losing weight and maintaining that weight loss is one of the greatest challenges any individual can undertake. Along with proper diet and exercise, a colon cleanse will help you achieve your weight loss goals and provide you with a cleaner, healthier body.

The colon is the last piece of the digestive system that waste passes through on its way out of the body. The colon works to recover electrolytes, salt, and water from waste before it is passed. Beneficial bacteria in the colon, known as “gut flora,” break down fiber in the waste for nourishment and create enzymes which are used in turn by the cells in the lining of the colon for nourishment.

If you’re currently eating a diet that is very rich in fiber, vegetables and fruits, then you’re a step ahead in keeping your colon healthy. However, if you’re guilty of eating a processed or “junk” foods, fast food, simple carbohydrates, or fatty foods, you are repeatedly putting a great deal of stress on your colon. An unhealthy colon puts a significant burden on the digestive system and other important bodily functions.

The colon works to remove bodily waste from the small intestine to outside of the body by muscle contraction. If the colon is blocked or lined with toxins and old waste, the system will slow down and the muscle action made less effective. In turn, the gut flora won’t provide as much benefit, which will reduce the overall health of your colon and digestive tract. Colon cleansing will assist the mobility of waste passage, and help —restore the system to proper working order.

Because of the less-than-ideal condition of the average person’s colon, It is recommended that you begin your weight loss regime with a colon cleanse. By starting with the cleanse, you will provide your body with a clean, healthy slate to continue to build and meet your weight loss goals. The added energy and vitality you feel will translate into increased stamina for your exercise program. You’ll also receive a nice “kick start” to your weight loss — many people lose anywhere from five to ten pounds during a colon cleanse.

One other very important item to consider is your water consumption. Cleansing and dieting in general are very dehydrating — your body is making use of a lot of water during exercise to burn calories, and using a lot during cleansing to flush out the toxins. Be sure to drink a minimum of eight glasses of water a day — this works out to about two liters. If you feel thirsty, you’ve waited too long to drink.

Be sure to click here and check out our Colon Cleanse Reviews so that you can find the cleanse that’s right for you! Digest-It and Bowtrol are highly recommended.

Overall, colon cleansing will give you a nice boost in your weight loss efforts, help you feel in better health, boost your energy and stamina, and improve the efficiency of your entire digestive tract. Remember to stay true to your weight loss goals and to work hard and you’ll achieve positive results. Good luck with your cleanse!

The Side Effects of Colon Cleansing

Water will help stem the side effects of colon cleansingIn my last post, I talked about some of the benefits that colon cleansing will bring to your health. Here’s some information on the minor “side effects” that you might experience during your cleanse.

Like any natural health remedy or medication, colon cleansing has the potential for minor side effects which vary based on the individual. Some of the possible side effects include:

-nausea which may be accompanied by fever
-headaches or migraines
-aching or pain
-exhaustion

If you encounter any side effects, they will usually clear up quickly and you may or may not need to stop the cleanse. If you feel that your side effects are serious, stop the cleanse and seek out the advice of a doctor or other medical professional.

Don’t forget to ensure that you are well hydrated; keeping your water intake high will aid the cleanse and help prevent the side effects that will accompany dehydration.

How can I best avoid the side effects of colon cleansing?

As with anything, the key to avoiding side effects is by cleansing in moderation. If you engage in any method of colon cleansing too frequently without giving your body time to recover, you may end up damaging your colon. You can also reduce your colon’s effectiveness by cleansing too often as the beneficial bacteria and flora will be repeatedly washed away. This will negatively impact your body’s natural functions, and also your immune system. Follow the guidelines or instructions that you receive with your colon cleansing product and be sure to use it properly.

Keep these tips in mind and you will have a positive experience with your cleanse. Good luck!

The Benefits of Colon Cleansing

The Benefits of Colon CleansingColon cleansing has become remarkably popular over the past few years, and with good reason. While you may have heard that healthy weight loss is a major benefit of colon cleansing, you will actually find that there are a great number of additional benefits that may even outweigh the weight loss. In this article we’ll explore some of the benefits of colon cleansing.

What are some of the benefits you can expect after a colon cleanse?

The principal idea behind colon cleansing is to rid the body of toxins that are collecting due to our Western-style diet and eating habits. With that being said, one of the first things you will notice as you finish your cleanse is a feeling that your body is in better condition.

You will very likely lose weight during your cleanse. How much weight you lose will depend on you as an individual; some people lose a great deal of weight, and others may not lose any at all. Generally speaking, it is normal to lose anywhere from 5 to 10 pounds over the length of a cleanse.

You will notice that your skin tone and feeling improves, and you will be able to think more clearly. You will have more energy and feel more alert — if you’re the type that has a “crash” around 1-3pm each day, you may notice that your afternoon lethargy decreases. Many have reported increased libido and sexual stamina after completing a cleanse, and if you’re into sports or other active pursuits you will benefit as well.

In my next post, I will describe some of the possible side effects you might experience during your colon cleanse.

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!
