Introduction:
In today’s fast-paced world, our digestive systems often take a hit from processed foods, lack of fiber, and chronic stress. A natural colon cleansing recipe can help support the body’s detoxification process, reduce bloating, and improve overall gut health. While the colon naturally eliminates waste, this gentle, fiber-rich drink may help enhance digestion and support regularity when used occasionally and responsibly. Below is a safe, natural recipe using common kitchen ingredients that work synergistically to promote a healthy gut.
Ingredients:
-
1 cup warm filtered water
-
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon)
-
1 tablespoon organic apple cider vinegar (with the mother)
-
1 tablespoon chia seeds
-
1 teaspoon ground flaxseed
-
1 teaspoon raw honey or maple syrup (optional, for taste)
-
A pinch of ground cinnamon (optional, for flavor and anti-inflammatory benefits)
Preparation:
-
In a glass, combine the warm water, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar.
-
Stir in the chia seeds and ground flaxseed. Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes so the seeds can swell and form a gel-like consistency.
-
Add the honey or maple syrup and cinnamon, if using. Stir well.
-
Drink slowly, ideally first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
Serving and Storage Tips:
-
Best consumed immediately after preparation to benefit from the active enzymes and nutrients.
-
If you must store it, refrigerate and consume within 12 hours. Stir again before drinking as the seeds may settle.
-
Always follow with a full glass of water to help the fiber move through the digestive tract.
