This is part of a series on colon cleansing. In part one we talked about colon cleanse side effects. If you have reached this page directly, it may be helpful to read part one before continuing with these colon cleansing tips.

Cleanse Tip # 1 - Make time for healing:

Before undergoing a cleanse to any organ or system of the body, it is good to arrange for time off work. Starting a cleanse on a Friday evening works well for most who can plan to take Saturday and Sunday fairly easy.

Since most detox symptoms are strongest in first three days, you could be over most of any healing crisis by the time you have to return to work on Monday.

Any detox symptoms should abate within 2 to 3 days so starting a cleanse on Friday and taking Monday off, is a good plan.

Changing your diet a few days prior to a cleanse can help tremendously too to reduce detox symptoms and to promote more healthy stool.

Cleanse Tip # 2 - Dietary No-No's When Cleansing:

No meat, particularly no beef or pork
No fried foods
No white flour products
No refined sugar products
Eat fruits sparingly

Cleanse Tip # 3 - Dietary Yes-Yes's When Cleansing:

Add Fresh, organic veggie juices
Drink 64 ounces of pure water daily
Add a mild laxative / stool softener for a few days before colon cleansing, to start the clearing process
