How To Keep Your Colon Healthy

The most neglected and abused organ in our bodies has got to be our colon. Our colon takes whatever we do to it and still manages to function fairly well. It is one of the most vital parts of our body, and therefore, keeping your colon healthy is very important.

The large intestine is responsible for the absorption of many nutrients. It is here that the majority of water, salts, and vitamin synthesis is taken care of by thousands of little microorganisms. This process is vital to a healthy body, as it boosts our immune system and helps lower and control cholesterol.

A healthy colon requires six nutrients: soluble fiber, insoluble fiber, fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS – found in many vegetables, consist of short chains of fructose molecules), micro flora supplements, yogurt and other fermented milk products and water. With this in mind there are some factors that disrupt our colon: low fiber diets, antibiotics, excessive stress, infections use of harsh chemical and herbal laxatives.

These factor alone can destroy the micro flora which allows bacteria and yeast to take over and damage the colon.
