It has been stated in many natural health and healing books that it is best to drink warm water mixed with 1/2 of a lemon in the morning. I know its not coffee but it stabilizes the body for the day.

I know that everyone says you need a lot of protein in your diet but you can get your protein from any kind of greens, avocados, olives, coconuts, or flax seeds.

You may notice right away the detoxifying effects of eating a raw diet like loss of energy, diarrhea, headaches, or nausea. When you eat processed and cooked foods it overloads our lymphatic systems, which in turn can cause congestion, illnesses, and colon problems. When you eat a raw food diet it gives your body a rest from digesting cooked food, meat, dairy, or processed foods. Your body needs this time of rest to recoup from all of the bad food choices that we have made in the past like fried foods, etc.

Another avenue of health for the colon would be to add probiotics to your daily diet. This aids the intestines with healthy bacteria for proper digestion.

You should also take a fiber supplement in the morning and evening will help clean your colon. I like acacia fiber mixed into my smoothies in the morning but you can use whatever you like.

It is also a good idea to exercise along with eating healthy. Even if you just have time for a brisk walk that is better than nothing at all. I prefer yoga because I feel that it helps with many issues with the body but I do enjoy biking and swimming as well. Just find something that you enjoy and stick with it. You will feel better and think more positively about the day.
