About The Colon
 The
colon, large intestine or bowel is situated in the abdomen
and forms the last part of the digestive tract.
An extremely important organ in its own right, it carries
out a number of vital functions including the completion of
the digestive process involving absorption of water soluble
nutrients as well as the synthesis of certain vitamins.
The colon is a major part of the excretory system, and is
responsible for eliminating food and other body wastes, as
well as protecting us from infection and disease. In a normal
functioning colon, all this is achieved with the help of billions
of friendly bacteria, which inhabit weight of our faecal waste.
However, the delicate balance of this internal ecosystem
can very easily be disturbed by a number of factors including
stress, pollution, poor food and drink choices, certain drugs,
smoking and exposure to toxic substances.
The results of this imbalance may be seen as follows:
FACTS:
- The healthy transit time of food through our bodies is
less than 24 hours.
- On average in Ireland it is now 60 hours for men and
70 hours for women.
- Ireland is one of the most constipated nations in the
world.
- One in three people consulting G.P.’s have a bowel
problem.
- The repercussions of a toxic bowel may be seen throughout
the body system in a wide range of health problems, and
in the general malaise affecting so many in our society.
