Body Colon Cleanse

The body colon cleanse is all the rage these days. What is it and why is so important to clean out a certain part of your intestines? Basically, you build up a lot of gunk in your system and this keeps you from losing weight. The body colon cleanse helps you lose weight by cleaning your system out.

One body colon cleanse is called the lemonade diet. It was created by the late Naturopath Stanley Burroughs. It consists of fasting to rid the body of toxins, created by improper diet, lack of exercise and negative mental attitudes.

The body colon cleanse will dissolve and eliminate toxins and congestion. It will cleanse the kidneys and digestive system. It aims to purify glands and eliminate waste and hardened materials in the joints and muscles. You’ll start to build a healthy bloodstream which in turn leads to developing optimal blood pressure

Also, the body colon cleanse will help you lose weight. Most people lose about 2 pounds a day with no harmful side effects.

The lemonade diet should be followed for exactly 10 days. During this period, you will not eat anything and you will only drink a specially formulated lemonade. You need to drink at least 10 servings of the lemonade a day, which can be difficult to manage without discipline.

The recipe for the lemonade is as follows: fill a one gallon water jug with the juice of five lemons, 1 and ¼ cups of Organic Grade B maple syrup (no substitutes), 1/10 tsp. or more of cayenne pepper, and fill the rest of the jug with purified or spring water (do not use fluoridated tap water.)

When you get up each morning that you are on the body colon cleanse, you need to do a salt water flush. Mix two level teaspoons of unionized sea salt with a quart of lukewarm water and mix. Drink this all right away.

Then in the evening you’ll want to take an herbal laxative tea which you can find in most grocery stores.

You should be prepared to need to use the restroom a lot while on the body colon cleanse. Specifically, that means that you should be prepared to go every 15 or 20 minutes. If you have a job or other activities that will not accommodate this need, you may want to consider putting the program off until you can use the facilities whenever you need to.

You may think that drinking only lemonade, saltwater and tea with no food for 10 days is dangerous. Well, you are certainly not going to die on this diet, but you will be hungry. Surprisingly, you will probably find that you have more energy as the diet goes on, despite the lack of food.

At the end of the body colon cleanse, you can expect to have lost anywhere from 5 to 10 pounds (this is mostly water weight and will be quickly regained if you don’t follow a reasonable eating and exercise plan), feel increased energy, have an increased desire to eat healthy foods, and feel somewhat different about life in general.

Those who make it through a body colon cleanse are generally very glad that they did it.

BONUS : Caring for Aging Parents

The aging process can be difficult to fully understand if you are not going through it yourself. It's hard to grasp how it will affect our lives - and that of others - in the future.

Caring for aging parents can be difficult, mainly because of this aspect. It's easy to gain knowledge of the event to take place, but we won't really know how aging feels until we experience it for ourselves.

Because of this, being patient with our elderly parents can be a challenge. Loaded with our own responsibilities, attending to aging parents can seem inconvenient at times.

Understanding aging is the first step to devising the best way to care for your aging parents. Since everyone is unique, it is unpredictable how the transition will affect an individual, so planning ahead is always best.

Aging adults' needs are not much different than everyone else's. They do, however, participate in activities that don't require as much mobility. Because of this, older people enjoy chatting and gatherings best. They love sharing their memories and stories with you, if you let them. It is important to give older adults a chance to communicate and relate, as social activity is crucial at this stage of their life.

Because of limited mobility, our aging parents will likely benefit from a smaller space in which to live. Smaller spaces also aid older individuals in their feelings of loneliness, and have been proven to enhance the mood of aging adults.

As we age, our memory becomes impaired and things become harder and harder to remember. Childhood memories and activities, like cooking and cleaning, are clear in our thoughts, but short term information and details are lost in translation. Because of this, older adults enjoy hobbies. It offers them a chance to be productive while applying an innate or learned skill.
