The 15-Kilo Detox Myth: Debunked
Despite what flashy ads suggest, your colon isn’t harboring 15 kilograms of waste. Here’s what’s actually true:
- A healthy colon usually holds just a few pounds of material.
- Any sudden weight loss from a cleanse is mainly due to water loss, not toxin removal.
- Intense flushes can upset your electrolyte balance, lead to dehydration, and disturb the gut’s microbiome.
Rather than trying to purge your system in one go, focus on gently supporting your body’s natural elimination process, especially while you sleep.
7 Simple Evening Habits for Colon Health
1. Drink Warm Lemon Water
Sipping warm water with fresh lemon juice before bedtime can gently encourage digestion and hydrate the body.
It may help promote a healthy bowel movement the next morning and support a balanced internal pH — all without the harshness of a laxative.
2. Eat a Fiber-Rich Dinner
Dinner is an ideal time to incorporate digestion-friendly fiber.
Soluble fiber, found in foods like chia seeds, oats, apples, and legumes, nourishes good gut bacteria and helps sweep waste through the system. Great options include:
- Steamed broccoli or kale
- Baked sweet potatoes
- Overnight oats or chia pudding
