Colon cleansing can tire you and stress you because as you get rid of toxins, you can experience the die-off effect. This is a minor side effect of any type of body cleansing, and what happens is that as the toxins are leaving your body, you feel worse than when you were intoxicated. Among the symptoms are:

• Weakness

• Bloating

• Tiredness

• Nausea

• Bad breath

• Acne

• Aching muscles

• Fatigue

• Diarrhea

The die-off effect is actually necessary during colon cleansing; it is completely normal, and nothing to worry about. Do not interrupt your natural colon cleansing therapy if you feel sick, it is common to feel bad as toxins are released from the body. You can compare the cleansing process to the one alcoholics or drug addicts go through to detoxify their systems. Their bodies have to adjust to the absence of drugs, and your organism needs to adjust to the absence of toxins.

In order to keep die-off symptoms under control, follow these 9 tips:

1. Drink lots of water. If you feel you are getting a headache or feel lethargic, drink water.

2. Take Ester-C supplement every morning. Vitamin C enhances our immune system, but the body absorbs Ester-C much faster.

3. Eat broths and stews, which provide the necessary electrolytes to energize you.

4. Exercise moderately. There are many exercises that help get rid of the excess of toxins and acids in the body. As you know, your skin is the largest organ in your body, and sweating can really cleanse it.

5. Take cleansing baths.

6. Take a probiotic to restore good bacteria in your colon.

7. Watch and read relaxing material, meditate, and listen to classical music, because during colon cleansing you may experience mood swings. Look for peaceful environments and do not engage in any activity that may cause stress or frustration.

8. Do not eat too much, or the cleansing will not work 100%. If you eat in excess, your cleansing method may only get rid of part of the digested remains while leaving the rest, and older matter, amassed inside of you.

9. Take nutritional yeast flakes. These contain lots of vitamin B and trace minerals. You will feel the difference immediately.

If you follow these tips, you can go through a full body detox smoothly because the die-off effects will be under control. After the process, sustain a colon cleanse by eating whole natural foods.
