Colon Cleansing Natural Approach

Colon cleansing is a popular topic in the world of natural health.

It's also a major cash cow for the folks who sell various "colon cleanser" products.

Well, you don't have to spend an arm and a leg if you want a healthy colon.

You see, eating a high-fiber diet with at least six big servings of whole fruit and vegetables every day will help keep the colon free from disease. Fiber sweeps the intestines clean and reduces the chances of constipation.

Want something else in addition to a high fiber diet for your colon cleansing routine?

Then add a little olive oil to your eating plan every day.

Spanish researchers (Gut 2000;46:191-199) suggest that olive oil in the diet may offer benefits in terms of colon cancer prevention. This study showed that rats eating a diet supplemented with olive oil had a lower risk of colon cancer than brother and sister rats fed a diet supplemented with safflower oil.

Studies say it may be the high concentration of squalene, an element of olive oil, that gives olive oil its cancer-fighting powers.

Other studies have linked fish oil to a reduction in colon cancer risk.

Here at CasaDay, we use Carlson's delicious lemon-flavored fish oil.

So help your colon keep everything moving properly by adding a tablespoon of olive oil to your salad each day.

Enjoying a tablespoon of Carlson's fish oil before the evening meal is a great idea, too.

And it doesn't even taste like fish!
