Is colon cleansing really necessary?

KDAH

Colon cleansing is sometimes recommended before medical tests, like a colonoscopy or to help with stubborn constipation. But did you know your body is designed to keep your colon clean all on its own? Regular bowel movements naturally flush out waste and support a healthy community of good bacteria in your gut, which is important for your overall health and protects you from many illnesses. So, before trying any colon cleanse, talk to your doctor to see if it’s really needed for you.
