More and more people are doing colon cleanses and searching for them on the net.

Still, there are others to whom it's completely foreign. Someone once told me that it reminded her too much of a colonoscopy.

But it's an entirely different thing, whether you give your colon a much needed bath or use one of the many products on the market.

Let's move on to the top 5 benefits of a colon cleanse I personally experienced:

1 -- The first big change - the daily headaches were gone. Always a constant drain on my energy, they had left. By continuing a raw vegan nutrition lifestyle, I continued to feel good. But when I sometimes went off, they would come back.

2 -- No more runny nose and phlegm. It's easy to breathe now.

3 -- Mid-afternoon energy drops are gone. Sometimes I used to even feel tired in the morning. Now I have the energy to do what I want all day.

4 -- Weight loss of 40 pounds that have stayed off was a tremendous benefit. My body has found its way back to my ideal weight.

5 -- The total surprise was the clarity in my mind. Not only the fogginess, but forgetting things has become a thing of the past.

There have been many other benefits in my life, these are just a few. Living requires health.

Going through the day has been a completely different experience since I've experienced the benefits of a colon cleanse and raw vegan nutrition diet.

Because I adopted the raw vegan lifestyle together with colon cleansing, the benefits I enjoyed were clearly from the two together.

The best way to pursue any cleanse is to stop adding toxins to the body, and give it all the tools to create the healing you desire.

What an amazing self-healing living being the body is. When we just get out of the way, it knows what to do to repair the damage and heal.
