Digestion problems are never subtle.
It manifests as excruciating cramps in the stomach and constipation, a condition no one likes to talk about. Sometimes we attribute headaches and fatigue to anything other than our colon, such as a bad night's sleep, an impending cold, the weather, or the time of day, not realizing that our digestive system is agitated.
As a result, many individuals with poor digestive health are unable to recover because they are attempting to treat a headache rather than a bowel obstruction.
Signs You Need a Colon Cleanse
- Constipation
- IBS
- Headaches
- Chronic fatigue
- ‘Brain fog’
- Low energy
- Allergic reactions
- Irritability
- Change in appetite
These symptoms are a result of unreleased waste causing mucus and bacteria to ferment in the colon, releasing toxins into the bloodstream. Irregular bowel movements also lead to issues with nutrient absorption. (1)
The Apple, Ginger, and Lemon Colon Cleanse
Plan a stay-at-home day to relax with a bathroom available for when the internal cleaning process begins.
Drink this cleansing juice first thing in the morning before you eat anything. Have another cup of this before a light lunch, advisably consisting of steamed vegetables and baked salmon. Drink the beverage a third time midafternoon.
Be sure to consume 6-8 glasses of room-temperature water throughout the day. It’s recommended to slow down the drinking after 5 pm to prevent any midnight bathroom excursions.
The Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of 100% pure organic apple juice – to prevent ailments and maintain optimal health.
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice – an excellent antioxidant for detoxification and proper digestion.
- 1 tsp ginger juice – to reduce bloating and spur the colon to expel toxins.
- 1/2 tsp sea salt – to push out bodily waste and stimulates the elimination of bowels.
- 1/2 cup warm purified water
Pour the warmed water in a glass and stir in the sea salt. Add the juices, and drink. This combination will transform your colon!
Experts say to do this cleanse in one day or over maximum a week for best results!
Do not cleanse more than one a week.
