Some alternative medicine enthusiasts resort to colon cleansing, which involves the use of large volumes of liquid, in order to improve their well-being.
This method is also known as colon hydrotherapy, hydrotherapy, or colon irrigation. Although it is common, there is no evidence that it provides any benefit.
If you want to help your gut, choose safe methods.
Add fiber to your diet
Fiber, found in bran, vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, helps add bulk to your stool, meaning it moves through your intestines more easily.
Soluble fiber acts as food for beneficial bacteria and supports the gut microbiome. Insoluble fiber makes stool softer, making it easier to pass stool.
Engage in physical activity
Aerobic exercise can speed up blood flow and accelerate all metabolic processes.
Suffering from constipation? Walk more, start running, and look into other types of activity.
Stick to a routine
Stress, and therefore constipation, can arise as a result of irregular working hours and lack of sleep.
Try to make your routine more predictable and relaxed, and try to go to the bathroom to relieve yourself at the same time every day.
