The colon is an integral part of the gastrointestinal tract. It is located at the distal portion of the large intestine. Its main function is to draw out water from undigested food as well as break down food items before they are eliminated from the body. Essentially, a healthy colon cleans up the body by removing toxins, wastes, and impurities so the body can perform at its peak.
The colon is part of the body?s natural detox pathways, thus it is important to ensure it functions optimally at all times. In this day and age however, where the food, water, and air that our bodies process are saturated with toxins, the slow and steady accumulation of toxins, heavy metals, and other impurities result in unpleasant symptoms as well as the deterioration of the colon function. This is where a colon cleanse comes is helpful.
