The colon also regulates the body's water balance. It ensures that the body receives enough vitamins and minerals. It regulates digestion. It takes care of health. It is good to know that food can travel through the intestines for 24 to 70 hours. Vitamin-rich and nutritious food travels more slowly, although it may seem the other way around, but the intestines are designed to optimally utilize the food we consume.

However, when there is too much waste in the food, constipation usually occurs, which slows down digestion, and the worst part is that the filth accumulates in the body, which we first notice through increased body weight. Constipation also affects the immune system. Rashes appear on the body, bladder problems, frequent colds are also signs of a weakened immune system, which mostly originates from the stomach.

The legendary nutritionist Stanley Burroughs proposed a detoxification and body cleansing program in the distant 1940s. At that time, he attracted a lot of attention, as alternative medicine was still in its infancy, and many had high hopes. Thus, Burroughs formulated a special cleansing mixture, which is still considered the bible of all cleansers.

Ingredients:

• 3 dl of water
  
• 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
  
• 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
  
• juice of half a lemon

Preparation:

Mix all the ingredients well, you can drink it before and after meals. You can also drink up to 5 such glasses, and you must persist for at least 10 to 16 days. Then take a 10-day break and you can repeat the process.

This mixture increases the absorption of vitamins and minerals, which means you can eat less but have more energy, and after a few days, the scale will also show less weight, mainly due to the filth accumulated in your intestines.
