Our colons were designed to act as smoothly-flowing sewer systems to rid our body of waste products shortly after the waste has been separated from usable nutrients But instead, most colons have become stagnant cesspools, collecting layers and pockets of toxic, putrid wastes and mucus that poisons the blood stream and every cell and organ in the body. So what steps can be taken to improve and/or maintain a healthy colon? Fiber is the part of food that is not digested by the human body. The normal functioning of the intestinal tract depends upon the presence of adequate fiber.

Foods containing soluble fiber include apples, raw carrots, beans, oat bran, melons, potatoes and barley.
