Colonics and weight loss: Is there a connection?

Countless claims have been made to the wellness benefits of colon hydrotherapy, aside from improving colon health.

Among these is the idea that receiving colonics regularly is a good way to manage your weight.

Get ready for a skinnier you, right? Well, sort of, but not exactly.

Fat vs. waste

When you receive colonic irrigation, the service flushes out excess fecal buildup from your colon. As a result, many clients walk away several pounds lighter and feeling much better.

Of course, it’s important to note that the service itself doesn’t remove fat tissue.

If you’re looking to shed a few pounds in order to maintain a fresh, ongoing sense of well-being, receiving a colonic is something you’ll want to do on a regular basis. Don’t expect to walk away as though you just had liposuction, though.

Toxicity

Many experts believe there is some long-term correlation between keeping the body-toxin-free and staying thin.

Unless you’re eating an all-natural, fully organic food diet, there’s almost certainly going to be a decent level of toxicity in your body — especially in your colon.

“One or two well-formed bowel movements every day is one of the best ways to give toxins a one-way ticket out of your body,” says Dr. Mark Hyman, of drhyman.com.

“Scientists recently uncovered a surprising and disturbing fact: environmental toxins make you fat and cause diabetes,” he says.

That makes it important to optimize your body’s ability to rid itself of toxins.

Of course, drinking plenty of water is also an easy way to aid in cleansing, but it isn’t always enough, and a colonic is an effective way to achieve results.

In this roundabout way, there’s evidence to show that the service not only helps people feel great, but it’s also an aid in weight management, too.
