How Does Fasting Cleanse the Large Intestine?
-
Fasting
-
Fasting helps cleanse the large intestines by way of giving the muscles rest when digesting food. Digestion and absorption of solids and liquids happen in the digestive system and sends them to the different parts of the body through the bloodstream. The solid wastes go to the large intestines. During fasting, as the large intestines rest, there are no new solid wastes produced, allowing the intestines to be cleansed and rid off the buildup or plaque around its walls.
Colon Cleansing
-
Cleansing the colon by fasting is the most common way to perform a colon cleanse. During fasting one can drink some water or fruit juices that aid in the cleansing process. Herbs also help with the cleansing by helping eliminate colon toxins. Performing enema at home can be effective in colon cleansing; however, it can be a bit messy at times for inexperienced users. Using homemade colon cleansers are widely used today and can be very effective when used together with fasting.

Enema
-
Introducing liquids via the rectum and anus to cleanse the colon is a process called enema. Enema is a common method used by clinicians to treat certain medical conditions such as constipations and encopresis-a condition caused by constipation commonly found in children when they hold their stools in. Enema makes use of an enema bag equipped with a fountain syringe that has a rectal nozzle. The process involves filling the enema bag with water or a cleansing solution and positioning the bag a little higher than the patient and inserting the rectal nozzle into the anus. By releasing the clamp from the nozzle, you will send fluid into the large intestine.
Dietary Fiber
-
Herbal fibers can aid in the detoxification of the digestive system. They help supplement a regular diet while acting as a cleansing agent. Fruits, vegetables and grains contain fibers. Dietary fibers add bulk to a diet to make a person feel full faster, thereby helping control weight. Dietary fibers help prevent constipation and aid in colon cleansing by helping loosen feces faster, passing them out easier. The daily-recommended dose of fiber for women is 21 to 25 grams and 30 to 38 grams for adult men.
Fluids
-
One can drink water and fruit juices during fasting for colon cleansing. Doing so will prevent dehydration. Water also helps purify the human body. Water cleanses the colon and renders it more effective by forming fresh new blood. Haematopaises or formation of new blood activates the mucosal folds of the colon and intestines. The fresh blood is important in helping cure the ailments and restore health.
