Colon Cleanse versus Body Detox

You may have heard that the human body can store up to 20 pounds of excess waste and toxins.  Although most individuals do not have this much stored, even 5 pounds can be too much.  That is why you may be interested in ridding these toxins from your body, but how do you?  You will find two main options listed online, a colon cleanse and a body detox.

For the most part, you will find many similarities between a colon cleanse and a body detox.  You will also see some differences.  For example, both are designed to eliminate toxins from your body.  The approach taken is different.  With a body cleanse your whole body is targeted, including your colon.  With a colon cleanse, only the colon is targeted.

So, which approach is right for you?  It depends.  First, it is important to look at results.  Do you want to remove any of the above mentioned extra waste which may be causing you to carry around excess pounds?  If so, a colon cleanse is your best option.  This specifically targets the excess weight and poundage in your track.

Although many people are horrified to hear that they may have a lot of waste built-up in their bodies, that is not the only reason for a cleanse or detox.  Detoxification has a number of benefits, including an improvement in skincare, increased energy, and an overall feeling of wellbeing.  If this is your goal, a whole body detox is your best option.

How you intend to detox or cleanse can also determine if a whole body cleanse or colon cleanse is right for you.  With colon cleanses, you have a number of different options, including a saltwater flush.  Even with this cheap option, many prefer to purchase over-the-counter products, which may include pills or drink mixes.  In most instances, these products do work, but you may find them to be costly.  A drink mix, which tends to work faster than pills, can cost up to $50 for one serving!

In keeping with costs, you may find a whole body detox to be a more affordable option.  This is due to your options.  Although over-the-counter products are available for sale, many turn to water fasting, juice fasting, and the Master Cleanse.  Out of the three, the Master Cleanse will be the most expensive, as you need to purchase cayenne pepper, grade b maple syrup, natural salt, and fresh lemons.  Not only do body detoxes tend to be cheaper, but remember that they target the whole body, including the colon.

As previously stated, colon cleanses tend to work faster than whole body detoxes.  This is because you are targeting a specific area of your body.  As nice as this sounds, you need to take your daily routine into consideration.  A colon cleanse in a drink format should produce results in 1 hour or less.  At this point in time, you will find yourself running to the bathroom.  For that reason, a colon cleanse is recommended for at-home use only.  Pills tend to work over a period of 7 to 30 days.  Throughout that time, you will notice a pattern in your bathroom habits, making it easy to go about your daily routine.

So, should you undergo a colon cleanse or a whole body detox?  The choice is yours to make.  However, if you have the time to devote to a body detox and have the ability to forego solid foods, you may experience the best results.
