What Is The Colon And What Does It Do?
The colon is the main part of the large intestine. It absorbs water and electrolytes from food that has remained undigested.
Without proper elimination, food residue stored in the colon over long periods of time can cause all kinds of health issues due to accumulated toxins.
Regular bowel movements will flush out excess residue (waste) and prevent constipation, bloating, and illness related to just about any organ. The walls of the colon must be detoxified of this toxic plaque-like waste that has been lying in the colon for days, sometimes even years!
