If you\u2019re feeling bloated, uncomfortable or just downright sluggish, you may have considered cleansing your gut. A gut cleanse is the process of emptying the part of the digestive tract called the colon, or large intestine. Some people believe this offers health benefits and relief from digestive issues.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s explore what a gut cleanse is, how to cleanse your gut, and additional ways to support gut health.<\/p>\n

What is a gut cleanse?<\/h2>\n

The goal of a gut cleanse is to rid the large intestine of fecal material and clean out the colon. To do this you can use teas, enemas, laxatives, enzymes, water procedures or supplements.<\/p>\n

What are the benefits of a gut cleanse?<\/h2>\n

The practice of cleansing the gut has been going on for thousands of years, with some reports finding evidence of gut cleanses from 16th century B.C. in Egypt.1 In the modern world, wellness centers, doctors\u2019 offices, and spas offer gut cleanses as part of their wellness practice. So, why are gut cleanses so popular?<\/p>\n

Some people claim that gut cleanse benefits include gut detoxification<\/a>, improved energy levels weight loss and digestive relief.2<\/p>\n

How can I naturally cleanse my gut?<\/h2>\n

A gut cleanse may be of interest to some, but for most people, you can adequately support gut health through diet and lifestyle. The body is naturally equipped to eliminate toxins through the liver and through daily bowel movements. Plus, staying regular will help to maintain energy levels and keep things moving along.<\/p>\n

Daily choices about what you eat and how you live are evidence-based approaches that can help improve and maintain gut health. To keep your bowel movements regular, foster a healthy gut microbiota and ease digestion, consider adopting the following into your routine:<\/p>\n

Focus on fiber<\/h3>\n

Fiber-rich foods are vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes. Fiber<\/a> helps to gently cleanse the colon. It encourages colon health by helping to speed food through the digestive system by serving as a bulking agent. It also provides an effective aid to eliminate unwanted toxins from the body.<\/p>\n

Incorporate prebiotics and probiotics<\/h3>\n

Many fiber-rich foods contain prebiotics, which is a component of fiber that feeds the gut microbiota. Prebiotics provide fuel for \u201cfriendly\u201d gut bacteria to keep them healthy. This fuel allows the beneficial gut bacteria to produce short chain fatty acids, which in turn provide immune system benefits to you.3<\/p>\n

Probiotics<\/a> are foods or supplements that also contain friendly bacteria. Taking a probiotic can help replenish the bacteria species we need the most of. They can be especially helpful in repopulating the gut bacteria species by crowding out the \u201cbad\u201d bacteria that may occur from a poor diet, stress, or feeling under the weather.4<\/p>\n

Drink adequate fluids<\/h3>\n

Drinking enough fluids throughout the day ensures that your digestive tract will continue moving so that you can regularly eliminate waste.5 A good way to remember to drink more during the day is to carry an insulated\u00a0water bottle<\/a>. Without proper hydration, things slow down and your bowels can become stagnant, leaving you feeling uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

Aim to drink plenty of water, electrolyte drinks, teas, or other fluids each day to stay hydrated for gut health<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Consider drinking peppermint, ginger, and other herbal teas<\/h3>\n

Ginger<\/a> and peppermint are two digestion-friendly ingredients. And when warmed up as teas, they are delicious and soothing.<\/p>\n

Ginger and peppermint have been traditionally used to sooth and comfort the stomach and support digestion. Ginger contains compounds with antioxidant benefits to help support gut health.6 Beyond use as a digestive aid, peppermint supports wellbeing \u2013 critical to the maintenance of good gut health.<\/p>\n

Move daily and manage stress<\/h3>\n

Stress is a component not to overlook as well. The gut and brain are connected and managing stress can have major improvements in gut health. Being in a \u201cfight or flight\u201d mode impairs our ability to digest food, which can be detrimental to gut health. However, activating the \u201crest and digest\u201d nervous system helps to ease digestion.8<\/p>\n

Daily movement can also help to keep bowels working regularly. Taking walks, doing yoga, or going for a swim are all good forms of gentle movement that will support gut health.<\/p>\n

As you can see, a gut cleanse may be a procedure sought out by some people seeking digestive relief, but optimal gut health can be achieved by simple diet and lifestyle changes.<\/p>\n
