Cut the B.S Wednesday – Keep Your B.S Moving!
This week on #SimplicityTV we are joined by guest expert Kim Peace, a Certified Colon Therapist. It is quite literally Cut the B.S Wednesday! Kim shares with us the practice of colon hydro-therapy, to help clear your toxic load.
People get uncomfortable about the subject but the truth is everybody poops! And it is a vital process in regards to detoxification. When working with digestive issues, such as constipation, diarrhea, gas and bloating, it can become a challenge to make sure everything is running smoothly. Your colon is one of your pathways of elimination, and it is so important to your health that you make sure you are keeping it open for business.
A foundational base to keeping your colon in working order:
- Proper nutrition. Make sure you are consuming plenty of fiber rich fruits and vegetables, a balance of protein and healthy fats, and add colon friendly chia, hemp and ground flax seeds into foods such as coconut yogurt, smoothies, salads and more.
- Staying Hydrated. Getting plenty of water (2-4 liters per day) will help to keep your system hydrated, promoting the process of digestion and elimination. Hydrate with lemon water, freshly pressed vegetable juices, Genuine Health Greens+, coconut water and kombucha.
- A mix of soluble and insoluble fiber is important. Insoluble fiber helps to sweep debris that might be stuck to the walls of your colon and get it moving toward the exit (ground flax seeds are great example). Soluble fiber, such as oatmeal, absorbs fluids as it passes through, which helps to bulk your stool and guard against constipation and diarrhea. A balance of these two types of fiber are an excellent addition for your bowel health, among other benefits.
