Although many people find it embarrassing to talk about colon health it is not something to be in denial of. Yes it is not something you discuss during dinner but there is no harm in knowing the basics as it might affect you one day. In fact most Americans these days suffer from some sort of colon ailment or the other.

Our colon is made to handle anything between 5 to 25 pounds of waste matter at a time. But since our dietary habits and our lifestyle has gone through a significant change our colon often finds it difficult to deal with the 'excess baggage'. Before it starts showing serious problems it is always a good idea to get our colon cleansed. This will ensure nothing untoward happens because of our negligence and we can enjoy a fit and healthy body all our life.

The general prescription of your medical practitioner would be that you have to eat healthy foods and try to find some time out of your schedule which you can set aside for exercise. These are the best ways to maintain a healthy colon. While proper diet would mean plenty of fibers and water so that the waste matter can make its way out and the system remains clean, exercise also helps in good bowel movements and encourages us to have good eating habits. But the problem with this prescription is that you already need to have a colon in proper condition which can be taken care of by following these suggestions. But if your colon has already started to show problems then following these steps wouldn't be enough. And your medical practitioner wouldn't prescribe you laxatives as he would tell you that they are generally meant to be administered only before health examinations like the ultra-sonography and the x-ray.

In case you think your colon has a severe problem and you are always constipated or you feel bloated all the while you can try some of the colon cleansing herbs. But use them moderately as they are quite potent and the action is quite prompt. But as potent they are, they also come with some sever side effects if taken continuously for a considerable period of time. Consumption of these products regularly can lead to your organs like liver and kidneys being harmed. So it is advisable not to use them for over a week continuously.
