Imagine a river flowing with a relatively strong current downstream. There will be certain points along its path that from the autumn to the spring will become gradually clogged up with leaves, branches and a general collection of foreign bodies that have been thrown into the river for some reason or another. Gradually this collection of flotsam and jetsam will begin to cause the flow of the river to be disturbed and if nothing is done about the flow will stop completely and sometimes with disastrous results.

Imagine that your colon is part of a river that controls your digestive system. If it becomes clogged up with another form of "flotsam and jetsam" it will also eventually clog up and again the results will not be desirable, to say the least. Instead of leaves and branches, old rusty bed frames and worn down tires, the colon gradually becomes clogged up with a foul smelling accumulation of undigested grease and various other toxins.

The effect of having this goop building up in your body can cause the most unpleasant of effects ranging from chronic indigestion, or constant diarrhea, skin ailments and a generally unpleasant feeling for the person whose natural bodily functions have been throw out of sequence by their bad eating habits and generally unhealthy life style.

The way out of this viscous circle is to adopt a healthier life style based around diet and exercise. However before this new regime can really become effective, then the colon has to be freed of all the junk that is clogging it up. Just as the winter snows melt into the river to dramatically increase the flow downriver to effectively clear all these blockages, the same process can be carried out within the human body by flushing out all the residue of a long winter's hamburger eating. When you think about it in such simple terms, that what you can do to give yourself a healthier colon and with it the key to a healthier lifestyle.
