There’s no debate at all in medical literature: You need a clean and healthy colon to assimilate nutrients and dispose of waste. Yet millions of people have colons that are congested, twisted out of shape, and impacted with toxic waste. This can cause a multitude of bowel disorders and chronic diseases. 
This isn’t surprising-even though a person may have a bowel movement daily, there may still be several days’ or even a week’s worth of waste inside the colon. A badly impacted colon can be carrying an excess of ten pounds of fecal matter at one time. This provides a breeding ground for unfriendly bacteria that can cause problems such as headaches, flatulence, indigestion, colitis, and bowel cancer. When these wastes accumulate, the colon becomes weak and sluggish, causing constipation. The accumulations tend to harden in the pockets of the colon walls. This hardened material obstructs the peristalsis (the natural muscular contractions of the bowel) and more and more buildup occurs. This, in turn, interferes with final absorption and digestion; instead of absorbing nutrients, the undigested food putrefies, creating toxic conditions.
Quick Tips for a Healthy Colon - To achieve a healthy colon, start with these three simple steps:
1. Respond to nature’s call to eliminate. Try to establish a routine bowel movement first thing in the morning. All night, bowl functions have been active on the bacterial level and inactive on the metabolism level-they need relief in the morning. Repeat once more if possible.
2. Place a footstool or box under both feet when seated on the toilet. By raising the feet off the ground, you put yourself in a squatting position that is more natural and encourages easy elimination.
(The design of the modern toilet has contributed to countless cases of constipation.)
3. Exercise. Exercise prevents the abdominal muscles from sagging and becoming weak. It brings oxygen-rich blood to the intestines, which gives the cells health and vitality. Exercise also stimulates peristalsis (but do not exercise immediately after eating because the process of digestion requires a great deal of energy).
