Exercise for a healthy colon
Exercise & the health of your colon! |
Colon News & Exercise Most people are aware that the colon is sort of a sewage plant: the colon recycles the stuff your body can use and stores the waste for disposal. The longer the waste sits in the colon, the longer toxic materials have to leach out of the solidifying stool and back into your tissues. Doing exercise gets your body moving, including the waste in your body. This is because exercise stimulates peristalsis, a wave-like muscular contraction that helps push waste through your colon. |

Since exercise is good for the health of your colon, it is not a surprize at all that various studies in the past have indicates that exercise also prevents colon cancer. However, a more recent study has indicates that only few people are aware of this. The figures state that an ‘inactive’ lifestyle accounts for as many as 14 percent of all colon cancer cases in the United States. On the other hand, people who exercise a lot have a 30 percent to 40 percent lower risk of developing colon cancer. However, the study indicated that about only 15 percent of the respondees said that they would use physical activity as a way of reducing their colon cancer risk!! |
