Therapies... - Colon Therapy - Exacerbating Factors

Colon cleansing is used to treat a variety of conditions that lead to a malfunctioning or poorly functioning colon. A number of factors can lead to this situation. Genetic problems or neurological impairment can result in a number of problems involving the digestive tract. A low-fibre, high-fat diet and habits that lead to consuming food too quickly can also cause problems. Too little water is also a factor, while drinking too much water can dilute digestive enzymes in the body, leading to waste buildup in the colon. Caffeine-rich beverages dehydrate stool, making elimination more difficult. Emotional and physical stress can both aggravate the digestive system while bedridden people may find their colon has become sluggish. All of these situations can benefit from a colon cleansing.
