Discover the Amazing Benefits of Colon Cleansing!

Is colon cleansing the secret to weight loss, youth and natural vibrant health?

You might just lose weight, feel better, look better and perhaps even live longer?

You want to live a healthy, vigorous and active life, right?

How simple is it to clean out all the toxins in your body…

Your body may in fact be desperately wanting to get rid of these built-up toxins.

Why not help your body as colon cleansing is the ultimate secret to healthy living, isn’t it?

Colon cleansing acts like a natural “reset switch” restoring your body’s natural balance with proper function of your digestive system.

Okay…does it actually mean a clean healthy colon?

How does this relief painful bloating due to gas so delayed digestion is a thing of the past!

What if your stomach looks and feels firm and noticeably flat?

You will find you also enjoy more energy though the day.

Here’s why…

Your body is more efficient in converting food you eat into usable energy.

Which means you can eat less to satisfy the amount of calories you need each day.

Also as an added bonus, you get to enjoy clearer healthy skin and healthier lifestyle.

Is colon cleanse the first step to flattening your stomach…

Whether you have flat abs or a big belly, you can experience pain due to excess abdominal gas and excess fecal matter in your intestines.

It has been said that if you have only one bowel movement a day, you have up to eight meals left in your intestines.

Gas can develop in a matter of hours after eating and stay around for a long time…

How does this relate to back pain…

Allow me to explain…

Abdominal gas can be devastating to any back-pain sufferer, especially one who is trying to take a more natural approach and is using stretching and exercising to get relief.

You see, the position of your pelvis and curvature of spine are two of the biggest factors which can affect back pain…

Even if the current treatment you are using is a good one, results can be hindered by a distended belly.

Big Belly Gas Pains…

Let me give you an example…

Let’s suppose the last meal or snack you ate at night is fruit.

Your body begins to break it down and digest…

Now fruit ferments very quickly so gas builds up as a byproduct of breakdown.

Without any other food matter to push gas along, it gets trapped.

All night long your body is fighting effects of gas…

And you’ll wake up in the morning feeling bloated with killer back pain.

That’s why I never recommend fruit as a midnight snack.

Right now you may be thinking what’s so bad about a little gas?

Answer: If your belly gets distended like a pregnant women, your abdominal is going to get stretched out, which means not being able to stabilize your pelvis.

There is no amount of abdominal strengthening you could do to overcome outward push of abdominal gas.

If your belly is distended, you’ll struggle to get a neutral position for the pelvis that you need to get relief.

Flat Abs Gas Pains…

I know what some of you are going to say. “what if I have flat abs and back pain?”

The gas, instead of pushing your belly outward could be pushing your intestines back into your spine and the muscle of your spine.

That irritation of your intestines could be just as bad as, if not worse than outward forces.

In either case, you will be amazed at how fast you’ll get relief if you work on getting that gas out of your system.

Simple Steps You’d Rather Not Know…

If having too much gas was not bad enough, there are at other irritating conditions can affect your back pain due to improper bowel movement.

Most women are chronically dehydrated, which usually leads to constipation.

Other reasons you might be constipated include the medications you are taking and the foods you eat.

Now constipation, you go through your day with excess pressure on your bowels.

And whenever your colon is full of waste matter, it will become stiff and rigid.

Because your colon is so close to your spine and the muscle of your spine, mobility becomes an issue, not to mention more pain.

Constipation creates strain.

If your fecal matter is dry, hard and difficult to eliminate, you’ll work harder to get rid of it.

This can be “painful” on your body and because your blood pressure spikes, your rectum is traumatized and the pressure on your spine is tremendous.

Food allergies cause inflammation.

Whether we know it or not, many women have food allergies (nuts, wheat, milk, beans, etc.)..

Allergies create an inflammatory reaction and inflammation begins from your intestinal track, in turn the inflammation is going to affect muscles of your spine.

Poor nutrient absorption can add pounds…

women's metabolism

 

A digestive track which is not absorbing nutrients properly does not allow your body to get benefits of nutrients it needs to repair itself.

This can bring on a chronic cycle of eating to try to satisfy your nutritional needs, which most likely can lead to weight gain.

Stress on internal organs weakens tissue.

The weight of the excess stool puts added stress on your internal organs, stomach, small intestines and large intestines…

All of which are held in place by very delicate fibrous connective tissue.

As connective tissue is weighed down over time, it starts to fail than sag and than your trouble are going to be compounded.

Poop Away Pain…

Most women would do almost anything to get rid of their back pain.

If you are undergoing any type of treatment and want to improve your odds of getting relief sooner, try these tips:

Drink more water…

A good rule of thumb is drink one ounce of water for every two pounds of body weight.

For instance, if you weigh 100 pounds, drink at least 50 ounces of water each day.

Give yourself a visceral massage (called Sun-Moon).

To begin, lie on your back and with both hands starting just above your right hip, apply inward pressure on your abdomen, going straight up to the bottom of your rib cage.

Then follow along bottom of rib cage to left and down to top of left hip.

Go slow and steady, then repeat to tolerance.

Try Hydro Colon Therapy…

Also know as colonic irrigation, it is a highly effective, although somewhat uncomfortable, method of flushing out colon or large intestine.

Similar to an enema but more extensive, this procedure can be pricey (it has to be done by a trained professional).

Natural Colon Cleanse…

A less-invasive option is to find a good all-natural colon-cleansing product.

Many of the new formulations taste okay, work gently and cause no cramping or bloating.

Most of these products begin to work overnight.

The better products are gentle using herbal tea.

To get the best results from whatever back pain treatment you are trying right now, do yourself a favor and drink more water to help hydrate and cleanse your colon.

You’ll be amazed at the results and your waist line will love you too…

Top Tips to Stop Food Cravings

Top Tips to Stop Food Cravings by Mel Thompson

When you are feeling tired or stressed, do you notice that your mind begins conjuring up images of your favorite foods?

Do chocolates, donuts, or a slice of warm bread and butter tempt and taunt you when you are trying to keep your weight down?

If so, then you are one of many millions of people battling cravings on an almost daily basis.

According to Dr. Omar Manejwala, author of fascinating book, Craving: Why We Can’t Seem to Get Enough…

Human beings are hard-wired to crave food; he states there are powerful evolutionary, biological and social factors that create a ‘craving culture’ that overtakes our body and mind.

The good news, it is relatively easy to fight  cravings, if you take a few important steps…

Simply follow these tips and you will find that losing and maintaining weight…

Or simply following a healthier, sounder nutritional regime, is far easier than you ever imagined:

  • Do something else when you’re feeling tired or stressed: Focus on positive steps you can take to stop your cravings.

Instead of asking yourself, “What do I need to stop doing?”

Ask, “What do I need to start doing?”

Often, stress occurs when we have too much pent-up energy, or when we are not getting enough exercise.

Regular physical activity (and specific exercises and activities like yoga and mindful meditation) significantly lower levels of stress hormone cortisol.

When our stress levels are down, it is much easier to battle the urge to binge or indulge in unhealthy foods.

  • Keep a journal: When you see a nutritionist, one of the first things they ask you to do is to keep a journal; jot down absolutely everything you eat, and at what time.

You may be surprised to find that you tend to indulge cravings at specific times of the day.

This makes it much easier to avoid low sugar levels that often make you crave unhealthy foods, by bringing healthier snacks to work, school or college, so you can keep  glucose levels stable throughout the day.

  • Take the time to shop: When you have cravings, you tend to desperately reach for the first food available.

It therefore helps to have a kitchen and pantry full of healthy snacks, and devoid of chips, cookies, sweets and other processed, refined foods.

Always prepare a wide range of salad ingredients and keep them in the fridge; chop and wash them beforehand, so whipping up a healthy salad takes just a few seconds.

  • Avoid tempting scenarios: If you know you can’t resist buying a cupcake from your favorite pastry shop, don’t walk past it.

Make it easier on yourself so that following a healthy eating plan doesn’t seem like torture.

It is important to build a healthy social network, to eliminate the sense of emptiness that often leads us to binge.

Thank you Mel Thompson for sharing your valued tips and insights.
