Does-death-really-begin-in-the-colon-
By Danna Schneider
You may have seen the catch phrase "Death begins in the colon" before, and chances are you probably saw it in conjunction with an ad or information for some sort of cleansing or health system.

At first when I saw this phrase used in advertising and some other informational material about health, I thought it was all just a marketing tactic meant to scare people into doing something about their health, and prompting them to buy all types of crazy systems like cleansing systems, irrigation systems, fasting products and more.

But, is there really something to this statement? Is health really that dire of an issue that this phrase is justified in it's somewhat macabre spin on the subject?

Well, health actually is very important, and there are many physical conditions that can be spawned from poor health, including deadly conditions such as cancer and other digestive and "waste removal system" cancers and disorders.

A big part of the problem with the surge of poor health and related digestive disorders here in the US is a general deterioration of food quality and diet regimen. Much of our food today is processed, and is far from it's natural form, which is the most easily digested and utilized by the body.

What you get when you eat a lot of processed foods, including meats, cheeses, breads, pastas, chips and other processed food is a lot of residual "junk" that basically clogs up the whole system, making it sluggish, and not as efficient.

Let's take a look at some of the related disorders that we commonly hear about now that are most likely related to the diet of today's world :

1.) IBS, or Irritable Bowel Syndrome
2.) Crohn's Disease
3.) polyps (these can indicate precancerous tendencies)
4.) cancer

All of these disorders that are related to health have a profound impact on our overall health, energy, quality of life, and ability to control our weight and maintain a slim physique. Not only that, maintaining health means "comfort".

Why do I say that? Well, we all know that being constipated or having diarrhea, both opposite ends of the spectrum, are both extremely uncomfortable conditions, and often an embarrassing nuisance.

Having a healthy, functional, and efficient means many things in terms of health and happiness. It means that you can efficiently digest and eliminate your food.

No buddha bellies, and no bloating and painful gas, in other words. It also means that your is much less likely to be in a constant state of irritation, which leads to polyps and ultimately can lead to cancer.

Getting plenty of fiber in your diet is essential to maintaining optimal health, as well as restricting the amount of processed food in your diet, which tends to only leave toxins and traces of undigested particles in the digestive tract.

I'd say a good cleansing system is in order for most people who do not stick to a high fiber, low fat, and processed food-restricted diet, to ensure that these traces of residual buildup are eliminated on a regular basis.

Many people, including myself, report fantastic results if they use these natural cleansing systems correctly, but they should never be used as a substitute for prudence in your diet regimen. The more natural your food, and the more "green", the better.

Remember, in some ways the phrase "Death begins in the colon" is true, but you have the power to make this phrase inconsequential to your own life.
