Before coffee or your phone, drink 500 ml of water.

This activates the gastrocolic reflex and signals your colon to empty.

About “colon cleanses”

Most commercial cleanses use irritant laxatives. They can cause dependency, harm gut bacteria, and worsen constipation over time.

Your gut cleans itself when it gets:

• Enough water
• Appropriate fiber
• Daily movement
• Proper posture
• Prebiotics and probiotics

Warning signs to see a doctor

• Sudden changes in bowel habits
• Bl00d or black stools
• Very thin stools
• Unexplained weight loss
• Ongoing pain
• From age 50 (or earlier with family history), colonoscopy helps detect problems early.
• Supporting gut balance naturally
