COLON HEALTH


One hundred percent of American adults, if they live long enough, have herniation of the bowel. The number one cancer among men and women together is colon/rectal cancer. The colon is the sewer of your body. If it's not cleansed, the waste throughout the body can't get out. According to some estimates, about 70 million Americans suffer from bowel problems. These statistics cover only those people whose problems are severe enough to cause them to consult a medical doctor. People who aren't even aware that they have a bowel problem are often in the worst condition.

When the colon is healthy, a person will have two or more well-formed bowel movements a day. Every morning, they'll have a huge movement which should altogether be from 2 to 4 feet long. Later on in the day they'll have another movement, which will be about half the size of the first. These stools should be expelled effortlessly--within seconds after they sit down.

If you have to strain or if you have to read a magazine while you wait for a movement, then you are constipated. Another indication of poor bowel function is if your stools are small and narrow, or if they are short or hard. You shouldn't see any mucus, half-digested food, or blood.
