Why it’s important to keep the colon clean

The colon is also known as the large intestine and is a vital part of the human body on which we depend for daily bodily functioning. It performs the task of absorbing excess water and salts from the waste that has already passed through the small intestine, preparing it to be released in the form of a bowel movement. As with each and every part of the human body, we have a duty to take good care of our colon otherwise we may start to experience problems. A healthy diet is a good way to help the colon to stay healthy and clean but after periods of time, its inevitable that residue and waste particles will build up clogging the cells in the area and effecting its function.

One of the best ways to rid your body of these potentially harmful toxins is in the form of a colonic irrigation. During this water is poured into the colon and then released along with the toxic waste. Many people believe that a colonic irrigation is most effective when performed during a period of fasting or detox and programs such as those offered by Atsumi Healing retreat, combines the two. It is well worth looking into because keeping your colon clean is an important task.

Eliminate toxins and cleanse the body

Our body is something that most of us take for granted and fail to take adequate care of. Neglecting to take care of your body can result in a number of issues and health problems that will affect you not only physically but also mentally. Feeling fit and healthy contributes significantly to feeling happy and content. Taking care of your body doesn’t only mean exercising and toning up but it also refers to what you put in your body and how often you take the time to cleanse. Atsumihealing.com offers some of the best cleansing and detox programs as well as a number of other healthy living workshops and treatments. For anyone considering completing such a program, it’s a good idea to first gain a basic understanding of how to eliminate toxins and cleanse the body. 

The intestines and the colon

Both the intestines and colon are places that toxins and waste regularly gets stuck and begins to build up. Changing your diet is one way of reducing such build up but it won’t remove Mucold plaque and suborn toxins.

Cleansing and fasting

Cleansing and fasting are the methods used to truly rid your body of all of he nasty build-ups. By allowing your digestive system to relax, the body has a chance to flush out the toxic substances with help from special herbal drinks.

Skin brushing and exfoliation

Those toxins can also be released though the skin, which is why dry skin brushing and exfoliation are also effective methods. By doing these things every day you will open your pores and remove any dead skin cells and blockages.

What is Detoxification and Fasting Actually?

Detoxification is a normal body process of eliminating or neutralizing the toxins and other metabolites stemming from bio-chemical and metabolic functions within you, and removing them through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph nodes, and skin.  Fasting, in the strict dietary sense is the complete abstinence from all substances except pure water, in an environment of total rest.  In our modern day world, the definition has become more complicated because we often include modified fasting in the definition. 

Modified fasting allows the addition of other items to the diet beside water, like juice, fruits, raw food or other simple, wholesome foods. What they all have in common is that they abstain from select food for a specified period of time, with intent toward either increased health, increased mental and spiritual awareness or both.

THE IDEAL LENGTH OF A FAST

The length of time for a fast should always be the length that is right for you at the time.              Remain flexible. Keep in mind that the time commitment is longer than the actual fast. There are the transition periods both before and after, during which you ease away from your full diet and then ease back toward it.

Atsumi offers 3 types of modified, supervised Fasting Programs with the option to transition from one to the other:

FULL FAST:  This is our most powerful cleanse and brings about the greatest benefits and deepest level of detoxification. During this fast, guests will not eat but will drink a lot of water and be given some natural herbal supplements to provide the minerals, nutrients and vitamins that the body needs during the fast, as well as a hot broth to” remineralize” the body, bowel cleansing drinks and probiotics. A daily  massage and 2 daily colonics are included in the program.

JUICE FAST: Is the same as the full fast but with the addition of two bottles of fresh organic fruit or vegetable juices. This is a milder detox than our full fast program.

RAW FAST: Atsumi have developed a NEW RAW FOOD MENU that is perfect for pre-fasting, post-fasting, or people simply wanting a milder healthy cleanse and kick-start to a new lifestyle.
This program includes two bowel cleansing drinks along with 2 bottles of fresh raw fruit and/or vegetable juice, 1 green salad, 1 fruit salad, a dish from our new raw food menu and a raw dessert, probiotics, as well as a daily massage and 2 daily colonics.

We recommend a minimum of 4 days for any of our fasting programs. Guests have come to Atsumi for fasts of 4 to 35 days. Most of our guests stay at least 10 days.

According the Balchs' book, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, considered by many to be a modern-day bible on natural health and healing, different length fasts accomplish different things:

1. three day fast - aids in eliminating toxins and cleanses the blood
2. five day fast - begins "healing and rebuilding the immune system"
3. ten day fast - heads off problems in the making and helps to prevent illness, including degenerative diseases that have become so common in our chemically polluted environments

Frequently Asked Questions

The different commonly asked questions are:

•    What is the reason beyond the popularity of the fasting?

Neglecting the health is never difficult in such circumstances and fasting is the activity which will never let you lose your hunger. Moreover, there are hundreds of benefits of fasting that keep your body in correct physical conditions.

•    Why detoxification is important?

There are many different diseases that can be cured using the typical means that we have been using in this age. Yet, there are some diseases that cannot be cured using typical means.

Pre-fasting allows your body to go without food for long periods and it is a good practice to do.
