Manage Constipation, Prevent Cancer
Consuming more vegetables will improve your bowel movement and prevent colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer ranks third in the mortality rate, worldwide, (Lung cancer ranks first among the major cause of death afflicting 1.3 million of the world’s population which results to about 639,000 deaths per year). The threat of a person becoming afflicted with colon cancer is very real. Noticeably, these statistics increase in number per year and the only way is prevention (my recommendation is colon cleansing).
It is difficult (if not impossible) to reverse colorectal cancer. The organ cannot be replaced or transplanted. There are people who spend the remaining years of their life with a colostomy bag. (It is a small pouch for feces that is usually attached to your belly). Colostomy bags are provided for those who cannot expel their feces due to ineffective bearing down or a section of the colon has been resected to save the small intestine due to inability of the colon to contract and discharge its contents.
This cancer starts with what you consider an innocent condition called constipation. You think being constipated for three days is just fine as long as you discharge it on the fourth day. Medical professionals says that the recommended size of your fecal discharge should be the length of your elbow to the tip of your hand per day. Now, if you happen unable to remove that specified length for that day, think how long that waste materials inside your colon if you haven’t visited the lavatory for 3 days? What happens? This creates a process inside our body called auto-intoxication. The toxins that should have been eliminated will be allowed to roam your body’s system once again through your blood stream. When they get back to your colon, they deposit themselves to your colon linings and starts to harden.
When this consistently happens, these hardened deposits thicken and attract the bacteria, the cycle of reabsorption and circulating again into your system gets repeated. Then you start feeling the symptoms. You sometimes feel colicky, or gassy, til the pain increases in intensity. That is the only time you consult your doctor and it may be too late. The usual treatment for constipation is enema. The nurse will be inserting a small tube attached to some rubber tubing with a solution. This can be as simple as soap water solution or solutions that are sold by the pharmacy. Regardless of what the doctor ordered, the solution will be introduced into your anus and when you feel like you are about to bear down, the nurse will remove the tube, and have you get up to run to the toilet or serve you a bedpan to release what was there in your colon for a long time. Quite embarassing? Nurses are used to it, you should not worry, but still you cannot help but be embarrassed. And this procedure doesn’t even guarantee you won’t be back for other occassions to do it again.
My friend, keep in mind: “An ounce of prevention is always better than a pound of cure.” Fiber which helps sweep that will help you get rid of those toxic wastes are readily available in your daily food. It is naturally present in fruit and green leafy vegetables. Water helps replenish fluids as well as helps liquefy those fecal materials attaching themselves to your colon.You just have to learn ways of eating or having them. If you don’t have time to peel a mango or munch on a pineapple, you can have them processed by the very reliable blender, pour into a bottle and store in the fridge so that you can always have the fruit by just gulping it down. It’s just a matter of choosing which way you want to go, to drink a blender-processed fruit or wait until these fruit fibers and water won’t do any difference at all because your poop is catched by small plastic pocket on an opening in your belly. Choose well.
