"Hi, my name is Carole Engel, I'm the director of Outreach for Fruit-Eze, Inc. We have been the leader in natural healthy bowel regularities since 1990. The topic for this video is How to Cleanse Your Colon Naturally. This video is not a substitute for professional medical advice, and I would ask you to seek the advice of a healthcare professional before changing a prescribed bowel regimen. The goal of colon cleansing naturally is to promote your bowel health and your regularity. However, colon cleansing using chemically and herbally based products that rush the bowel are not medically necessary, and can cause harm. In this video I am going to explain to you how the daily intake of the proper combination of dietary fiber helps to promote your body's own natural cleansing processes. There are many benefits to using fiber to cleanse your colon. You can learn more by visiting our company website. So let's get to talking about the four steps to cleanse your colon naturally. The first step is to increase your dietary fiber intake. You are going to want to eat fiber at each meal everyday, and you are going to want to consume a variety of fiber with an emphasis on fruits and vegetables, and ideally dried fruit. You will also want to watch your fluid intake as your colon uses the fluids and the fiber in your diet to produce well formed stools. The second step to colon cleansing naturally is to get moving. Movement stimulates bowel activity. A simple five minute walk, some yoga, or some stretching can get the colon moving. And helps to tone and strengthen these colon muscles. The third step to colon cleansing naturally is to respond to nature's call. By responding every time you feel the urge to move your bowel, you help to maintain the responsiveness of this important reflex, and you also help to insure that the stools that you pass will be soft and flexible. However, if you withhold stools this can cause them to dry out and become hard, and this leads to constipation. Stool withholding is a significant contributor to problems with irregularity. I would like to give you a bowel tip, and that is that your bowel frequency is unique to you. Like your fingerprint what maybe right for you is going to be different for another person. The important thing is to pay attention to your body's own natural reflexes and responses. This will help you to uncover or discover your own natural pattern of regularity. The fourth step to colon cleansing naturally is to relax. Your gastrointestinal tract is sensitive to your emotional responses. If you have ever felt choked up over an emotion or felt butterflies in your stomach or experienced nausea before doing a presentation, you will know that this is true. For some individuals their response to stress can lead them to quiet their abdomen, even to tighten down. For some individuals this can lead to problems with irregularity. I should also like to mention with respect relaxing, take time during your toileting practice to relax. However, don't remain on the toilet longer than ten or twelve minutes as this can lead to other problems such as, hemorrhoids. I hope that you have learned something from this video today.
