Liver Cleansing and Your Colon
Why Cleansing is So Important
Face it; you’ve been ignoring your liver. You’re in good company, though, since the vast majority of people don’t give their liver or its health a second thought. We tend to take it for granted, the way we do so many of the other parts of our bodies. But just like so many other things in life, regular cleaning and maintenance of the liver is essential.
In a lot of ways, the liver is the most important organ in the human body. You can live a fairly normal life with a missing spleen, or a single kidney, but it’s literally impossible to live at all without your liver. When you look at it, the liver is a pretty incredible bunch of cells; responsible for over 500 separate functions in the body. The liver produces bile, which aids in proper digestion; it filters toxins out of the bloodstream; it helps your body get the full benefit of a whole host of nutrients; and that only scratches the surface.
It’s also self-regenerating – if the liver is damaged, it can actually repair itself by growing new cells. But if the damage is severe or irreversible, the only options left are drastic, and the prognosis for survival is grim. Therefore, keeping your liver from getting to that point in the first place is absolutely vital.
However, even people who exercise and eat healthy may be surprised to find themselves suffering from symptoms of liver dysfunction, colon irregularity, or toxicity, but the many causes of this are easily traced. Every time we put food in our mouth, or even go out for a jog, we are introducing contaminants from food, water, and air into our body. Take a moment to consider all the toxins, pollutants, and other nasty stuff that’s been introduced into our environment just in the last one hundred years. Our organs simply weren’t designed to deal with all of the unhealthy foreign substances that we intentionally and unintentionally encounter on a daily basis. In short, our livers just cannot keep up!
For all of these reasons, liver cleansing can be an important part of good health. Basically, when you’re cleansing your liver you’re helping it to keep up with all of the toxins it was never designed to deal with, namely all of the poisonous stuff we’ve surrounded ourselves with in the modern era. This straightforward process usually takes the form of a modified diet or use of a specialized liver detox product.
Beginning a Liver Detox
The basic elements of a detoxification diet include increasing your intake of fruits and vegetables, and whole grains, and focusing on healthy proteins instead of red meats. Of course, you need to pay close and careful attention to the source of your food, since many fruits and vegetables may carry pesticide residue and many sources of protein may contain additives, growth hormones, and other undesirable substances. Continuing to introduce these toxic substances into your body would completely defeat the purpose of a detox. Detox diets are intended to give your liver a bit of a break and allow it time to catch up, but they cannot flush your liver of toxins. Thankfully, there are many effective liver cleanses available that can be used in conjunction with a modified diet to remove toxins and restore healthy liver functioning.
The only trouble is that too many of these products focus on detoxing the liver and stop there. Simply flushing out the liver is a step in the right direction, but it’s only one step, and actually should not be the first step on the road to a healthy liver. Many healthcare professionals and natural medicine practitioners recommend doing a colon cleanse, like DrFloras, before engaging in or in conjunction with any other detoxification.
When you think about it, this makes sense. A blocked or unhealthy colon can lead to dysfunction in other parts of the body. This is the reason why so many of the signs and symptoms of an unhealthy colon have nothing to do with the digestive system. Fatigue, headaches, back pain, and even halitosis (bad breath) are often a result of colon dysfunction.
Liver Detox, Colon Cleansing, or Both?
Out of all the organs in the body that can be affected by a toxic colon, the liver is the most important, because the liver is responsible for maintaining clean blood in the body. When fecal matter is allowed to accumulate on the lining of the colon, these toxins and chemicals begin to seep through the colon walls, and into the bloodstream. From here, they will invariably end up in the liver where the results of such infestation by harmful toxins manifest themselves in the form of liver related disorders. The quality of blood produced by the liver is affected, and thus, the entire body suffers and becomes unwell.
Contrary to what you might think, you don’t necessarily have to do separate colon and liver cleanses to ensure that toxins are purged from both organs. Since the impurities that accumulate in the liver make their way there through toxins present in the bowel, cleansing the colon will invariably lead to a healthier liver, once there are no more toxins being sent there from the colon.
However, if you do choose to use a separate liver detox, the best, most effective way to get the most out of any system is to do a colon cleanse first. In addition to lessening the toxic burden of your liver, a colon cleanse preps your digestive system for handling all of the waste and toxins that will soon be exiting your liver. The best colon cleanse available, and one that can offer a comprehensive system, is DrFloras. Used in conjunction with support products like the DrFloras Cleanse Support, Parasite Defense, and Bowel Regulator, a complete colon cleanse will help get your body ready for whatever may come. Remember, a good liver cleanse may flush toxins out of the liver, but if they get stuck in the bowels then all you’ve really done is move the problem from one part of your body to another.
In addition, keep in mind that after the cleansing comes the rebuilding. It’s important to realize that when you flush toxic substances out of your body, you’re also flushing out beneficial substances at the same time. We need certain types of bacteria in our bodies to aid in digestion and keep harmful bacteria in check, and this is an issue that liver cleansers do not address. DrFloras Probiotic formula can help your body replenish the beneficial intestinal bacteria that often gets stripped out of the intestines during the cleansing process.
In short, DrFloras line of products can play an essential supporting role in the liver detoxification process, and can help you to remember that cleansing the liver is only one part of winning the battle for better health. For optimal liver and bodily functioning, you need to take care of your entire system!
You’d be amazed what a complete internal cleanser can do for your symptoms. What do you have to lose, besides your suffering?
