Fiber Colon Cleansing

Herbs that contain amounts of fruits, vegetables, seeds, beans, nuts and grains are very high in fiber. Fibers are essential components of non-digestible food.  High fiber foods sweep away debris from the colon like a broom.  It softens stool by holding moisture in the colon. Fiber stimulates peristalsis that decreases the time of bowel transit.

There are two types of fiber: Soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Soluble fibers are those that dissolve in water while insoluble fiber helps in preventing constipation and improving the waste elimination of our bodies. Soluble fiber prevents certain diseases like Salmonella, E.coli and campylobacter by increasing beneficial bacteria and produces natural antibiotics.

Oats and flax seeds are good sources of soluble and insoluble fiber. A tablespoon of flax seed has 4 to 6 grams of fiber. Beans, rice, peas, citrus, barley, apples and strawberry are also rich in soluble fiber. Foods that have high insoluble fiber are whole wheat, brown rice, rye, cabbage, barley, carrots, beets, turnips, brussel sprouts, apple and cauliflower.

It is recommended that we take 20 to 35 grams of fiber per day to start a colon cleansing diet. However the modern diet only provides 10 grams. You should avoid high fiber intake during inflammatory bowel conditions.  By taking half a cup of vegetables or fruits, you give yourself one complete serving of fiber. Fiber is proven to be the best and the safest ways to colon cleanse. It gently cleans our colon without any side effects. Many people have been including fiber-rich foods in their meals to have balanced diets and at the same time maintaining healthy colons.
