Things You'll Need:
- Organic fruit
- Organic vegetables
- Water
- Fiber
- Whole grains
-
Step 1
Eat fresh, organic food. Though more expensive, organic foods are not treated with chemical pesticides. They are easy for the colon to digest. Avoid processed food as much as possible during your colon cleanse diet.
-
Step 2
Consume fresh fruit for breakfast. Due to its high fiber and water content, fruit is easy for the body to digest. It is also rich in vitamins and nutrients which are essential to good health. Oranges, grapefruits, berries, bananas, and melons make excellent breakfast foods.
-
Step 3
Separate carbohydrates and protein. Since they require different digestive juices, make it easier on your colon by eating them separately. Eat protein such as chicken or fish for one meal, and carbohydrates such as whole grains or fruit for another meal. Your body will digest your food more efficiently as a result.
-
Step 4
Choose foods that are high in fiber. Fiber aids in digestive functions, helps to fill you up and can prevent colon cancer. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are all fiber-rich.
-
Step 5
Drink plenty of water. Aim for at least 64 ounces daily for improved digestion. Water helps to flush toxins and waste from your colon. It's imperative to stay properly hydrated during your colon cleanse diet.
-
Step 6
Avoid caffeine and alcohol. Both inhibit proper digestion and should be wholly avoided as you cleanse your colon. You should also avoid excess sodium and sugar. Excesses of both can negatively affect your digestive process.
-
Step 7
Chew your food thoroughly. Eat slowly to ensure food is properly broken down before swallowing. If you do not adequately chew your food, it is harder for your body to digest. During your colon cleanse diet, your goal is to make digestion as easy as possible.
