You can not overestimate the importance of keeping your colon healthy. It is a highly important part of the digestive system and an imperative key when it comes to keeping you ‘regular.’ And while regularity is very important health-wise, it also has a lot to say in terms of daily comfort, emotional equilibrium and a healthy social calendar. So, how can we promote colon health. Since all digestive processes begin with the mouth, chewing carefully is very helpful. To keep motility in the gut viable and ongoing, get moving and exercise regularly. Avoid antibiotics when possible. Although they do destroy many unwanted pathogens, they also kill off beneficial gut bacteria too. Be aware that some analgesics, such as aspirin and Ibuprofen can impair the mucous lining of the digestive track, potentially aggravating bleeding. Avoid constipation where possible, by eating healthfully. This includes incorporating fruits, vegetables and organic, fiber-rich grains and buying fresh when possible. It also means encouraging thorough eliminations. Some herbs, particularly those with a bitter nature, such as chicory may also help with digestion and elimination. Engage the help of a nutritionist if you have a chronic bowel condition. Visit your doctor regularly and remember to take your necessary screenings.<\/p>\n
