Most experts believe that food can be the most powerful medicine, but also the deadliest poison. Today I am going to teach you that detoxifying the body begins with a bowel cleanse. I am going to reveal the best five juices, homemade smoothies and medicinal plants to cleanse your colon naturally and very easy to prepare, one more surprising than the other.
Ideal for people with constipation, excess gas, gastrointestinal discomfort and inflammation. It doesn't matter how old you are or if you already have chronic health problems. Cleaning your intestine can prevent and combat many diseases.
Colon cancer, diverticulitis, fissures, hemorrhoids. And above all make you avoid having to resort to artificial products. Also, having a clean colon controls inflammation, makes all your internal organs work better.
It can even improve your metabolism. We will now see in a few minutes what intestinal cleansing is and how it is done. What are the dangers and care you should have.
Notice, this is our large intestine. It is between 1. 5 and two meters long.
On the right, the stool is liquid, but on the left, the water has already been reabsorbed and the stool becomes more solid. Here on the left, when we don't have a good Ecuadorian routine or because of different day-to-day problems. We do not stagnate and the feces remain hard and dry.
Like a stone. In some cases accumulating waste. What is the problem with this and why should we deal with it?
Well, constipation causes products to accumulate that should be eliminated. And this increases the risk of bowel cancer. Form diverticula and this becomes inflamed.
Having intestinal bleeding. It fills us with gas, swells our belly, gives us abdominal pain, nausea. It makes us eat less.
And it can complicate hemorrhoids and fissures. Even this is a cause of urinary infection. All this also gives symptoms outside the intestine that many times we attribute to another problem, for example, tiredness and chronic fatigue, pain throughout the body, insomnia, mood swings, headaches , poor control of diabetes and high blood pressure.
. Luckily this has a solution and naturally in most cases. Let's now look at the ingredients that cleanse your intestine and at the same time repair your body.
The first smoothie of broccoli, spinach and ginger. It is prepared with three sprigs of broccoli, 8 to 10 medium spinach leaves with stem and all. Don't cut it because there are very important fibers here.
You can add a teaspoon of fresh ginger or chopped and crushed with a garlic press. All this in a liter of water. You can take a glass of 200 milliliters when you wake up on an empty stomach or once or twice a day, away from meals, until you evacuate easily.
The dose depends on how your body responds. There are people who are more sensitive and need to take it only once, two or three times a week. The goal is to relieve symptoms and have a bowel movement without having to strain.
I'm going to tell you about the other smoothies, but this green juice is very fresh, especially if you add ice. And it's packed with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory active plant compounds . But pay attention, this is very important.
Now there are two big secrets. First ideally, don't filter it. Blend it very well and do not remove the bits that remain, because there are extremely important fibers here.
But if you want to filter it because you can't swallow it or because you don't like it, don't throw away the surplus. Put it on a plate, add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, put a little bit of turmeric with black pepper and eat it with a spoon along with the juice. Second secret take it without sugar ideally.
But for those who find it very bitter, they can add a small teaspoon of honey or a small piece of apple or pear with the skin. What we suggest is not to sweeten it, especially if you have problems controlling diabetes or are trying to lose weight. And if you are used to consuming a lot of sweets, at first it may seem a bit ugly, but in 2 to 3 weeks your tongue will reactivate and get used to the taste and sweetness of sugar-free foods.
Broccoli is a fantastic vegetable. Several studies have shown that it can help prevent cancer, reduce inflammation, help your liver work better, and may even increase testosterone levels in men. Spinach contains very important vitamins and minerals potassium, magnesium.
They have a diuretic effect, which also helps cleanse your kidney. It is also a source of iron, and together with the fibers it contains, they will stimulate intestinal transit. Now folks, ginger is a powerful ingredient.
I have done to almost everything. There are several studies that show that it has an anti-inflammatory effect, improves digestion and is a natural remedy to relieve pain, nausea and vomiting. Now, regardless of what the industry says, please allow me to be optimistic.
This is eating consciously, that is, using different foods as true natural remedies. These juices fill you with energy, can help reduce cholesterol, triglycerides, and control blood sugar. High pressure and have strong defenses.
In addition, they can help you lose weight, especially if combined with other healthy habits, physical exercise, and good sleep. In our book we explain this in detail and we also have videos on the channel. The ingredients are celery, cucumber, parsley, apple and ginger.
It is prepared with two branches of celery, with or without the leaves, depending on the taste of each one. A cucumber with the peel, a handful of parsley, a teaspoon of ginger and a whole apple with the peel and without seeds. All this in a liter of water.
You blend it very well, do not filter it and drink a glass on an empty stomach or once or twice a day until you can go full body. A secret for those who find the taste very strong, they can reduce the parsley or remove it and add a little cinnamon powder one teaspoon. You put this in a jar for 24 hours and your whole family can consume it, especially as a replacement for sodas and juices full of sugar.
Another secret for those who don't like it unfiltered, do it. But instead of discarding its fibers, they can add a little flaxseed, a tablespoon or a tablespoon of chia, or even quinoa. And consume it with a spoon throughout the day with plenty of water.
All these plants have the power to regulate intestinal transit, but also to balance your intestinal flora or microbiota. And the good bacteria in our gut, in addition to protecting us, will control and reduce inflammation in the rest of the body. They can even help combat chronic fatigue symptoms, tiredness, help reduce cholesterol levels, triglycerides.
Memory and concentration problems. And also the pencil and cucumber have a diuretic effect, also helping to cleanse your kidney. Lots of attention here.
The next smoothie that I am going to tell you about has vasodilator effects. Studies have shown that it can increase blood flow to muscles, improving performance during physical exercise, as well as in the brain, improving memory and concentration. And it even has aphrodisiac effects , if you get my drift.
It is prepared with a medium beetroot with its peel, a medium carrot with its peel, a tablespoon of ginger and a liter of water. Very simple. To personal taste you can add half a squeezed lemon.
Beetroot, having substances that produce vasodilation, that is, they help maintain the flexibility of the arteries, can help control blood pressure. And here I tell you the same thing, ideally without sugar and without discarding the fibers. But be careful, this juice can be very powerful, so much so that some people cannot tolerate beets.
They get diarrhea quickly. So if this is the case with you, I recommend that you consult with your doctor and nutritionist and look into some of the other options that I give you in this video. On the other hand, you can consume them at any time tomorrow, fasting, a glass or once or twice a day.
Be careful if you have low blood pressure because some people get even lower and it can give them dizziness and vertigo. I really like this 4th milkshake. It is prepared with a kiwi with its skin full of fibers and two fetas or pieces of mamón or papaya without the skin, with or without seeds.
To personal taste I put the seeds because they have an effect on the intestine that produces as if it were a mild laxative. All this in a liter of water. And for those who like it, you can use juice or almond milk instead of water.
And if they can't get almond milk or it's too expensive for them? They can add three or four almonds and settle it all together. Now, almond milk is fortified with calcium and this is very important, especially for vegans.
And for those who didn't know, the kiwi peel is edible. Papaya is an excellent source of fiber and has substances that act as a mild laxative. It does not irritate your intestine.
In addition, it contains vitamins A, B, C, minerals and papain, an active ingredient that improves digestion. All of these are super natural, low-calorie drinks that deflate our belly and make us feel full. Helping even if you are dieting to lose weight.
Now listen to this. A very frequent question in my office. Can patients who had diverticulitis in the past or have diverticulitis eat shells, seeds, nuts?
Well, historically patients who suffered from diverticulitis in the past were advised to avoid these products like seeds, corn, nuts, because there was a theoretical fear that some of the fragments would accumulate inside the diverticula, potentially causing inflammation. However, science has advanced and this theory is not proven. In a study of more than 47,000 patients, the consumption of seeds, nuts, and shells did not increase the risk of diverticulitis or its complications, such as inflammation and bleeding.
But each case must be evaluated individually with your doctor and nutritionist. Now, if none of these games you liked or helped you, I am going to reveal the 5th one that really works as a natural remedy to cleanse the intestine. Water with active chia or flax seeds with a little lemon.
You can use two teaspoons of chia or flaxseed and let it rest in half a liter of water in the fridge overnight. When you wake up you will see that it forms like a gel. To that, to personal taste, you can add half a squeezed lemon and drink it like this one glass on an empty stomach or once or twice a day, away from meals.
Or you can also add a little of this liquid with the activated seeds to your other smoothies or almond milk. In a few days you will notice that your intestine is working again. Now, as natural as it is, we must be careful.
If you have very intense symptoms or unexplained weight loss, you feel that the stool is really stuck for many days, if you have intestinal bleeding, a lot of pain, you are not being able to eat or you are vomiting, it is better to consult your doctor, as well as if you have problems advanced kidney disease and close to hemodialysis or contraindication to any of these foods. Also be careful if this causes you diarrhea, this can cause dehydration, loss of potassium, magnesium, which can be dangerous. Each organism reacts differently.
Remember that having a good intestinal transit is also doing physical activity. Avoid junk food, stay away from alcohol and cigarettes. Stay away from ultra processed, sugary juices and refrigerants.
Also be very careful with enemas, especially with so many opinions on the Internet. Many recommending toxic and irritating products. Now the best tips to evacuate easily.
First, do not force yourself, make respiratory movements, inspiration, expiration and let when your diaphragm goes down, mobilize your intestine. Drnk enough water 30 milliliters per kilo you have. Create a routine to evacuate.
For example, in the morning, after drinking a glass of these smoothies, you can sit on the toilet even if you don't feel like it, but think about having a bowel movement for a few minutes. That way you will get used to your body. Don't sit there holding it in, regardless of what you're doing, this is very unhealthy.
And walk every day, especially after eating. Do not take those famous naps after lunch because this blocks the intestine. Well, I'd love to discuss this.
Tell me about your experience. If you know any of these juices, don't forget that our book explains it in much more detail. And see you very soon.
Greetings from my corner of the world.
