The way to go is optimal nutrition which is "the balance of healthy foods and whatever is needed to keep your body in balance. It is different for everyone because it depends on your lifestyle, illness, genetics and where you live," says Lisa French, Fitness Consultant at The Diet Center. It is important for people in our twenties to begin taking care of our bodies now becauserepparttar more [you] are "aware of what [you] should be doing thenrepparttar 115038 aging process can be a lot kinder," says Arnold. Eating allrepparttar 115039 proper nutrients bringsrepparttar 115040 body into balance and helps you age gracefully, giving your body what it needs in order to function properly.

As for those diet pills and such, Arnold says that because they are not FDA approved, what is onrepparttar 115041 outside label doesn't have to be what is really insiderepparttar 115042 bottle. So who knows what you are really ingesting into your system.

Another misconception is that if you skip meals you will lose weight. That is absolutely false. When you are starving yourself and thinking that you are doing something good, your body goes into survival mode. The next time you eat, your body will hold on torepparttar 115043 food because it is not sure when it is going to get fed again. The Diet Center suggests that you eat small meals throughoutrepparttar 115044 day, so that you will keep up your blood sugar and have enough energy to get throughrepparttar 115045 day. Also, make sure that you drink eight glasses of water. Water will give you a full feeling and it cleans and replenishes your cells.

This is just an introduction to nutrition to get you all started onrepparttar 115046 proper way to nourish your body. Don't forget to incorporate fitness. It works hand and hand with nutrition. You have to burnrepparttar 115047 fuel that you are putting in your body.

It can be helpful to gently massage your abdomen to assistrepparttar flow ofrepparttar 115037 enema solution intorepparttar 115038 entire colon. Massage your colon fromrepparttar 115039 bottom left corner of your abdomen toward your chest, movingrepparttar 115040 water uprepparttar 115041 descending colon, then across towardrepparttar 115042 right, movingrepparttar 115043 water throughrepparttar 115044 transverse colon and finally downrepparttar 115045 right side intorepparttar 115046 ascending colon andrepparttar 115047 cecum area. Reverserepparttar 115048 direction of massage when eliminatingrepparttar 115049 enema solution. Atrepparttar 115050 Optimal Health Center, we use a massage tool called a Percussion Massager. It works wonders. If you have difficulty holding water or eliminating during a colon cleansing treatment, you may also want to try a massager.

Some people find that being on their left or their right side at some point during a session can make a big difference. Give it a try. Turn over onto your left side and, while gently massagingrepparttar 115051 abdomen, take in more water. This will facilitate fillingrepparttar 115052 entire colon. Others find that liftingrepparttar 115053 buttocks offrepparttar 115054 ground with your body propped up on a pillow or usingrepparttar 115055 yoga position of a full shoulder stand (not recommend if you haven’t tried this before) will further moverepparttar 115056 liquid into your colon. Try to retainrepparttar 115057 enema for about 5-15 minutes. Sit onrepparttar 115058 toilet and evacuate whenever you need to.

If you can't take all 2 quarts of water, that's okay. Take only what you can hold comfortably. Onrepparttar 115059 first enema, you are most likely very full inrepparttar 115060 sigmoid and rectal area. This is whererepparttar 115061 nerve endings that stimulate peristalsis are so it is very common to only be able to take a small amount of liquid on this first fill. Once you takerepparttar 115062 nozzle out and sit onrepparttar 115063 toilet. Make sure you first closedrepparttar 115064 clamp.

After you have expelled your first enema and most ofrepparttar 115065 fecal matter onrepparttar 115066 toilet, you will want to repeatrepparttar 115067 procedure. This time followrepparttar 115068 same procedure, but now try to increaserepparttar 115069 volume of water. With your colon now empty, you will have room for more water. Taking into your colon 1-3 quarts of water is key to an effective enema series. And, take only as much as you can comfortably hold. Do not put yourself in pain that last for more than a couple of passing seconds. Use pain as a guide to what your colon is comfortable with. Again, go slowly. Repeatrepparttar 115070 enema again, if you have time and are still passing feces.

Forrepparttar 115071 third enema in a series, I recommend that you use a therapeutic substance like Bifidonate or my Olive Oil, Aloe Vera, and MSM implant kit with Peppermint Essential Oil.

With all of this in mind, remember that colon cleansing is a very important tool in health maintenance. I recommend that you start with a program that is easy for you as soon as possible. I think that you will be pleased!

I wish yourepparttar 115072 best of health!

*Note: Always check with your doctor before doing an enema.
