Times have changed a lot since I was a boy. I grew up in a small town before the Internet or PC was around. Mom would turn me loose in the neighborhood and I’d run around with my friends all day long.As long as I was back for dinner, she didn’t care. We played baseball, shot baskets,went ice skating–it was pretty active.
Unfortunately, times have changed, and not necessarily for the better in that regard. Kids these days spend a lot of time being inactive in front of the TV or computer or on the couch. The result has been a higher incidence of overweight children, even obesity, and amazingly, even Type-2 diabetes.
It’s time to start dealing with this problem and we have some suggestions on getting your kids to eat healthy at Natural Health Trip.

The salt water colon cleanse starts with one quart of lukewarm water. Add two or more tablespoons of UN-iodized salt or sea salt and stir or shake it until the salt fully dissolves. (Using table salt will not have the same effect, so don’t substitute it for the un-iodized or sea salt.) This formulation works like an oral enema.
Drink this salt water mixture quickly and wait for a few minutes before laying down and massaging your stomach down to your colon area. This helps break up accumulated waste as does crouching over your knees. I suggest a few basic yoga stretches that focus on stretching the front and back of your midsection. Your salt water colon cleansing procedure will be more effective the more you massage and stretch your upper, middle, and lower stomach.
Within thirty minutes to two hours after drinking the salt water, you will feel pressure build up in your colon and you will probably have several bowel movements over the next few hours. If you do not experience pressure and heaviness in your bowels, you either need to add more salt to the water or drink more water to completely flush your digestive system. This colon cleanse will actually clean out your system top to bottom.
It is important to remember that this type of colon cleansing cleans out good bacteria that aid in digestion and absorption of nutrients. You will want to replace the good bacteria by taking probiotic supplements and eating yogurt which also has live, colon-friendly, bacteria in it.

Colon cleansing breaks down hardened fecal matter so it can pass and also purges many intestinal parasites. A colon cleanse can be done by having a colonic, also called colon hydrotherapy. This is a procedure that should only be done by a licensed hydrotherapist and is not appropriate for people with some preexisting colon conditions.
Other colon cleanses involve fasting and herbal and probiotic supplements or a very restricted diet plus the supplements. These colon cleansing plans usually last for less than a week. Then you start reintroducing foods into your diet, but you keep eating colon-friendly foods.
These colon-friendly foods will help keep your colon cleansed naturally and will keep you at a lower risk for colorectal cancer:
• Fibrous fruits like pears, apples, figs and blueberries
• Fibrous veggies like turnip greens, peas and brussels sprouts
• Fiber plus protein found in most all beans
• Whole grains and whole grain foods like flaxseed and oatmeal
• Yogurt which contains live, colon-friendly, bacteria
These foods should be eaten rarely to maintain a healthy colon:
• Red meats and animal fat
• All dairy except yogurt
• Refined sugars
• Most all fast foods or other heavily processed or preserved foods

Colon cleansing may help decrease Candida bacteria yeast infections of the vagina. Candida bacteria like to live in improperly functioning parts of the alimentary canal (the digestive system) and in women, the vagina. A colon cleanse will flush the build-up of Candida bacteria and other toxins out of your alimentary canal and thus, help rebalance the ph level in the vagina.
A colon that is not functioning well can cause a multitude of health problems like the yeast infections mentioned above. If you have chronic yeast infections, constipation, diarrhea, or irregular bowel movements, you could probably benefit from colon cleansing. You could also benefit from a colon cleanse if you are having difficulty losing weight, have stiff joints, or chronic bad breath! The health of your colon affects your entire body.

Fecal matter backs up in the colon by sticking to its walls and collecting in pockets in your colon. As this fecal matter ages, it breeds more toxins. These toxins leach back into our body and can create a multitude of health problems. Studies have shown that between seventy-five to ninety percent of all illnesses, including many cancers, can be traced back to problems that started in the colon. By keeping your colon clean, you can help keep the rest of your body healthy.
Symptoms that an unhealthy colon can cause include:
• Diarrhea
• Constipation
• Irregular bowel movements
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
• Bloating
• Gas
• Flatulence
• Difficulty or inability to lose weight
• A “spaced-out” feeling or lack of focus
• Joint pain and stiffness
• Hemorrhoids due to excess strain in passing hard stools
• Blemishes and acne
• Psoriasis
• Halitosis (Yes, chronic bad breath can be a symptom of an unhealthy colon!)
Colon cleansing can help eliminate the symptoms above that make your life uncomfortable and keep you from developing other, more serious problems. A colon cleanse followed by a colon-friendly diet will get you and your colon on the way to better health.

When choosing what kind of herbal colon cleanse you want to try, make sure it is for colon cleansing, not for other types of internal cleansing. These may be good to use as well, but do not use them in conjunction with a colon cleansing product, or plan, unless advised to do so by your doctor.
To get the most out of an herbal colon cleanse continue to eat a colon-friendly diet. This means you should eat a diet that has little red meat or animal fat in it. These foods are slow to process through your digestive system as are cheese and other dairy products, except yogurt. Yogurt aids in digestion because it contains live, good bacteria that we need in our intestinal tract. You can also take a probiotic supplement which helps provide these good bacterium to our system with every meal. Also eliminate as much processed food, including fast food, from your diet as you can.

Colon cleansing is not for everyone, though. If you are already diagnosed with a colon problem or disease, you should consider any type of colon cleanse carefully. Persons suffering with diverticulitis to Crohn’s disease can benefit from a colon-friendly diet, but should not usually undertake colonic hydrotherapy, unless recommended by your health-care professional.
When you start a colon-friendly diet after a colon cleanse, give your stomach and digestive tract the opportunity to adjust. You may actually experience more gas for the first week or so, but your system will adjust and you will have healthy, regular bowel movements without the excess gas.
Colon cleansing will make you feel better, especially if you continue to keep your colon clean with a fibrous, probiotic diet. And if you lapse back into old, bad food habits and start dragging
through your day again, a colon cleanse will jump-start you back to good colon health.

A colon cleanse should be maintained by eating a diet high in fiber and probiotics. Both of these help your system eliminate waste efficiently. When you are eliminating waste from your body regularly, you are not giving the toxins a chance to linger and ferment in your digestive tract. Optimally, you should be having a healthy bowel movement after every meal.
But most of us aren’t that regular, or our stools are not very healthy-looking. Colon cleansing will help you reset your digestive system. If you maintain a colon-friendly diet after your colon cleanse, you will stay regular. If you go back to your regular, not-so-healthy diet, you should probably plan on having your colon cleansed regularly. If you stick with a diet that is naturally colon cleansing, you may not have to do another colon cleanse for quite some time. Your system will also be more prepared to process the occasional fast-food burger if you usually stick with healthy foods.

Chinese medicine has advocated herbal remedies since ancient times and recently, many of the benefits of Chinese herbal medicine have been proven in Western medicine clinical studies, including the benefits of certain herbs for digestive system health. The native Chinese diet also contains a lot more fiber than our American diet. This also helps digestion and elimination.
There are many herbal colon cleansing products on the market. Some are teas, some come in supplement form. Some are meant to be used alone when fasting, some are meant to be used in conjunction with a restricted diet during the colon cleansing process. Today, you can even get custom-blended formulas from some doctors of Chinese medicine that are made specifically for you and your digestive system.

Feeling tired and run-down? Have been bloating or suffering from constipation or do you feel generally blah? You may benefit from colon cleansing. A colon cleanse flushes harmful fecal matter that is clinging to the walls of your lower intestinal tract causing toxins from that waste to leach into your body. These toxins can cause a variety of problems that generally slow a body down. When you eliminate the source of the toxins, your energy will increase and you will have regular bowel movements and less gas.
Ways to Do a Colon Cleanse:
• You can get a colonic, which is also called colon irrigation, colonic irrigation, and colon hydrotherapy. This procedure involves warm water being introduced into the colon which
forces feces from the colon through a tube into a closed container. You don’t smell the feces, but you ma y feel slight intestinal discomfort during the procedure and for a few hours after this type of colon cleanse.

With over 30% of constipated patients being over 65 years of age, treating constipation is one of the frequent and sometimes major problems among the elderly.
Treating Constipation - Primary and Secondary Types
Treating constipation may vary for every patient and how the doctor wants to proceed with the treatment.
Nevertheless, constipation can be divided to primary and secondary types depending on the cause of the problem. The process of treating constipation can therefore also depend on the determined cause.
Primary constipation or functional constipation is caused by:
Normal Transit Constipation – normal passage rate of stool
Slow Transit Constipation – delayed passage of stool which may result in bloating and infrequent bowel movement
Anorectal Dysfunction – inefficient coordination of the pelvic musculature in bowel movement

Most doctors still use a wheel to calculate pregnancy due date. This is fine if you are a woman that has a perfect 28 day menstrual cycle. Perhaps perfect is the wrong word. Each woman is different, though it has been drilled into our head that a 28 day cycle is what you should have. However, this is simply not the truth for most women.
The pregnancy wheel assumes that you have ovulated on the 14th day of your menstrual cycle, and it calculates your pregnancy due date according to that information. This is why many times a baby does not come near the due date.
