Can a Colonic Flatten Your Stomach?

According to the September 2007 issue of "Scientific American," more than 1.3 billion people worldwide are obese. Dr. Lan Liang of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality says, "Waistlines aren't the only thing poised to balloon in the future." She estimates that health care costs, directly related to excess pounds, will soon account for one of every six health care dollars spent in the U.S. So having a large waistline can be problematic on many levels. However, in many cases, colon hydrotherapy, also known as colonic, can help flatten the stomach.

除了帮助消除腹部周围的腰围之外，殖民者也是一种预防性健康工具。生食运动和著名结肠治疗师的先驱诺曼·沃克（Norman Walker）博士建议，殖民者既可以抵消疾病，也可以排毒身体。管理殖民地的人称为结肠水疗师。但是，由于结肠水疗师不是医生，请在获得结肠之前咨询您的医生。殖民者就像灌肠一样，除了整个结肠，小肠和其他一些器官都被清洗，而不是仅限结肠的第一脚。因此，殖民者可以帮助改善您的整体健康状况。

Improper eating habits result in undigested food that sits in your colon and spoils. Over time, this waste accumulates around the gut; this undigested food causes the stomach to protrude. As a result, a number of people who have that stubborn belly fat that just won't go away really are just suffering from a clogged colon. Autopsies on adults have revealed colons with a passageway the diameter of a pencil. Nonetheless, colonics can remove these toxins, or undigested foods, thereby flattening the stomach.

Cleansing the colon is vital for weight loss. A clean colon vastly reduces food cravings. It is recommended to do 15 colonics in a 30-day period to achieve rapid results in weight loss. Consult your doctor before engaging in such a program. The average person can lose 5 to 15 lbs. The major precaution is that taking this number of colonics in such a short period of time will detoxify you very quickly. As a result, you may experience some detoxification symptoms, such as nausea.

If administered correctly, a colonic can be a safe and pain-free technique. You can help to ensure that your colonic is carried out properly. First, you need to ensure that the facility, where you receive your colonic is clean and that it uses purified water. Second, check the credentials of the colon hydrotherapist. Last, opt for disposable scopes -- the small tube placed into the rectum. When performed by qualified personnel, the only reported side effect of colonics is the loss of friendly bacteria in the gut. Yet, this problem can be easily remedied with a good probiotic supplement. You can help to safeguard yourself.

Many people feel that taking too many colonics can be unsafe, but how many is too many? One colonic, however, is not enough. In the beginning, a series of seven colonics is recommended. After that, take a minimum of one colonic every season. You can take colonics as often as twice per week. It just depends on how well you are able to handle the rate of detoxification. You have to listen to your body.
