 Superfoods That Help Colon Health

Colon health is one of the leading issues people notice when they change diets or when 
they are trying to drop unwanted weight. In fact, if you go to any store that has a health 
or pharmacy section, you will notice a large amount of colon cleanse options. If you are 
like most people, you don't want to succumb to using one of those options. Instead, you 
may want to try using something natural first. Here are some of the superfood based 
options that can help flush your colon naturally and maintain natural colon health.

Fermented Foods

The first stop on your way to colon health by way of superfoods is to get your hands on 
fermented options. Common superfoods under this category are sauerkraut and kimchi. 
You can add these to most Asian and German dishes and reap the benefits of the 
fermentation. What makes fermented foods ideal for colon health is the amount of the 
bacteria and probiotics. These help with breaking down toxins in the system and moving 
them through the colon to prevent bacteria in the colon causing gut issues. These also 
help when you are on a detox and need to clean out the colon quickly.

Kefir

Kefir is something you may have seen in the dairy and beverage section of some 
stores, but you may not know exactly what it is or what it does. Kefir is a fermented milk 
that comes in dairy and coconut forms so it can be used by vegans as well as people on 
other diet plans. Kefir’s fermentation helps give the colon a bacterial balance that is 
needed to help the colon to function properly. It contains large amounts of yeast, 
magnesium, and vitamin K.

Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are a superfood that can be added easily to everything from your morning 
oatmeal to smoothies and cakes. Chia seeds give you a large amount, around 10 
grams, of fiber per serving. This gives your colon the amount of fiber it needs to flush 
out toxins and help with digestion. Keep in mind, fiber can come from other sources, but 
chia seeds can give you the biggest boost per serving easily.

Remember, if you are trying to flush your colon as part of a detox program, you may 
want to go with a juice or smoothie version of the superfoods. This will give you a larger 
amount of the superfood and introduce the foods into your system quickly. For overall 
ongoing colon health, consider adding these superfoods on a daily basis.
