Do You Really Need To Do A Colon Cleanse?

Hollywood celebrities swear by it. Many alternative health professionals promote it. But does colon cleansing really work?

Truth is, there aren't that many evidence for or against it. People have lots of opinions about it and that's basically just that. Some medical professionals may argue that it doesn't do you much good while many other people, who have ACTUALLY experienced it and gone through it continue to do it again when needed because it has worked so much for them.

I never used to do anything like Colon cleanse. I didn't even know there was such a thing. I was much more active when I was younger, did a lot of exercise, ate very healthy at home and never really thought of losing weight or cleaning my system.

But these days, it's a completely different story. I've started to have hemorrhoids and I knew that it was my constipation problems that was causing it.

So when I heard about colon cleansers, I gave it a try. What have I got to lose anyway, right? And I was pleasantly surprised the first time I tried it. After a week of using it (this was done together with good diet and exercise), I began to have more regular bowel movements and I felt more energetic. It was even easier for me to wake up in the morning and even my hay fever went away. The few pounds I lost was an added bonus!

So now, whenever, I feel I'm getting a bit sluggish, or have been on an obviously unhealthy eating binge or gaining some unwanted weight because I went on a holiday (i always eat a lot then) or Christmas (aahh.. Christmas!), then I do my usual detox diet and I usually feel much better afterwards.

Now, I'm pretty sure detox results vary from one person to person. So it's really all up to you whether to plunge in and do it. All I can say is, You really don't have anything to lose!
