Cleansing, toning and healing your colon or other waste disposal organs within your body can be as simple as changing how you eat. Everything you do or do not put into your body makes a difference as to how your body reacts to various conditions in your environment. Eating foods high in sugars, starches, chemicals and preservatives for long periods of time can harm your body more than you might realize. And one big indication that something is not working right, is when your body does not dispose of it’s solid waste matter regularly.

Changing how you eat is a gentle, gradual, natural approach to cleansing your colon. You don’t necessarily need to go on a “diet” in the common sense of the word, you simply need to make smarter eating choices. One specific eating change you’ll need though, is to incorporate more fiber into your daily foods.

Fiber can be eaten in a variety of ways. Most people prefer to simply take fiber supplements though, because these are quick and easy ways to get more fiber into your system. There are other, much more healthy ways to do this too though, and many of them only require small changes.

Adding some sort of fresh fruit or vegetable to all of your snacks and meals throughout the day usually provides enough fiber to help start the healing and cleansing process in your colon. And changing the type of breads and carbohydrates you eat will help tremendously as well.

If you eat breakfast cereal in the mornings for instance, you can change to a whole grain style which has more natural fiber in it. Alternatively, or better yet: Additionally, you can add some fresh or dried fruits to your cereal. Raisins and prunes are excellent dried fruit sources which will make your bowels move. Berries, grapes, and bananas are excellent fresh fruit sources to add to your meals. Bananas in fact, will help regulate your bowels. So they help take care of both constipation or diarrhea problems.

If you eat toast or muffins in the morning, change these to a higher fiber version made from whole grain, and also try to add fruit of some kind to your meal. Drinking fruit juice is healthy and can help - Apple and Grape juice are wonderful beverages to help your bowels move - but the actual pulp from the fresh fruits works best.

In the afternoon and evenings, try to add fresh salads or other vegetables to your meals and snacks too. Carrots, leafy lettuce, and raw broccoli for instance, are great ways to easily add fiber to a light lunch salad.

If you prefer something more substantial than a salad for lunch, try adding multiple types of fresh vegetables to your sandwiches, plus use whole grain breads too. Whole grain breads will fill you up much more quickly than plain white bread does, and it gives you much more fiber for cleaning your colon too.
