Can Colon Cancer Be Prevented?

As the population continues to age more research is done on how to slow down the aging process and get more energy. Everybody wants to look and feel younger. Everybody wants to take better care of themselves.

One of the areas that is often neglected is the colon. My mother died of colon cancer a year ago and it seems that once she was diagnosed her health declined rapidly. Doctors have recommended that you begin annual screenings after the age of 50 but the truth is most people ignore this preventative care until its too late.

When my mom found out about her cancer she was in stage 4, which meant the cancer had already spread to her liver. What pain she endured.

I remember in one of our conversations she said, " I wish I had found out sooner". I wish she had too...

One lesson that I can take from her untimely death is the need for paying attention to my body and listening to my doctor. I also believe that everyone should take better care of their colons.

How do you that? To reach and maintain optimum health your body must successfully eliminate toxins and bodily waste. The colon, lungs, and kidneys are designed to cleanse your body by getting rid of toxins in your intestines, blood, and lymph systems.

The colon can host more than 60 varieties of bacteria that aid in digestion that can turn into disease if toxins are not properly eliminated. It is interesting to note that most people carry 7-10 pounds of extra waste. Can you imagine that? That would explain the bloating and lack of energy.

To get rid of this toxic waste talk to your doctor about colonic irrigation or a cleanse of some sort. I personally recommend Ultra Body Cleanse which has probiotics, natural herbs, and enzymes to help gently cleanse your body's internal organs. Colonic irrigation can be kind of pricey but the Ultra Body Cleanse will give you the same results for just a fraction of the cost. Either way do something to get rid of the waste. Your love ones are counting on you.
