Secret: Put a container on the counter in the morning and be SURE it is gone before you go to bed.
2. Fresh fruits and Vegetables
Feed your body with natural food. We are meant to have FIBER, natural ENZYMES and raw state (fruits & vegetables. Supply your body’s needs from the fresh and natural food.
Eat some raw fruit and raw (or lightly steamed vegetables all in one day! Be sure, if you can, to use organically grown food as they have more nutritional content and are NOT sprayed with poison as conventionally grown food is. When we consume natural foods and follow a more natural way of living, the bowel always responds!
3. Avoid Stress

That’s the tips to keep your colon health. And the last is when you have to go, you HAVE to go! If you think “holding it” is ok, even uncomfortable, you’re dead wrong!
