Situated on a huge natural harbor on the Atlantic side of the United States, New York has always led in finding new ways for people to stay healthy and fit. Although it has been practiced for a long time now, colonics has undergone innovations to suit the lifestyles of modern men.

Whether in the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens or in Brooklyn, there are treatment centers that offer colonics as an alternative means to bring wellness to residents and visitors alike.

However, a majority of the population still has no clear understanding of the process or its benefits. So, why does one have to receive colon hydrotherapy and what benefits can it bring to the colon and to the whole body in general?

* Colonics improves metabolism.* It treats constipation, diarrhea, gas, hemorrhoids among others.* Abdominal pains, headaches, and others can be relieved through this therapy.* Colonic therapy is used before and after certain surgeries.

Here are some of the effects that hydrotherapy brings to the colon.

* Colonics breaks down toxic elements in the colon to prevent harm due to assimilation into the blood stream. If left unattended, toxins can accumulate overtime which can cause damage to the colon and will result to a number of ailments that otherwise can be prevented.

* The process of filling and emptying water in and out of the colon exercises the colon muscles thereby improving its functionality.

* The colon does get misshapen by the build up of toxic materials and when this happens, it does not function well. Colonics brings the colon back to its normal form by flushing out the toxins. The stretching action of water in the colon will eliminate constriction and deformation until it regains its former natural state.

* Through the colon, water is assimilated into the body. Therefore, a malfunctioning colon will not properly absorb liquids and this in turn will cause dehydration. With hydrotherapy, the colon will resume this function and hydrate the body as it should.

If you are contemplating on having hydrotherapy, here are the benefits you can derive from it.

* Colonics has a relaxing effect not only on the colon but also on its neighboring organs such as the liver, heart, lungs and intestines.

* The therapy reduces pressure in the abdominal area and relaxes pressure on both the lumbar column and the hips.

* It eliminates constipation and diarrhea without chemicals or drugs.

* The therapy eliminates mucus, gases, toxic bacteria and undigested food materials.

* Garlic and other parasite killing herbs may be added into the liquid and together with alternating water temperatures, colonics helps expel parasites and other harmful bacteria.

* Dysmenorrhea, cystitis and other gynecological disorders can be relieved by colonics.

* As an added benefit, hydrotherapy is used to reduce weight because it increases metabolism.

* The elimination of toxic substances and the decrease in degeneration brought about by this therapy also makes the skin look smoother for a younger look.

The benefits one can get from colonics have been proven by science although there are some sectors that still doubt the facts. New York City residents can see for themselves by going to the nearest treatment center and reap the benefits of this therapy while enjoying a comfortable and relaxing session.

Question by lalalala life is wonderful: What to expect after getting your colon removed?
HI, my grandma is going to get her colon removed on April 1st. She will have to have a colostomy bag. I want to make her a little reading material on what to expect after this procedure.

Does anyone have any little facts or findings form either their own personal experience with this or know of any. Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by Tommy J
A friend of mine had a similar surgery actually. She had her colon removed and had to wear a bag temporarily. She then had another surgery to tie her small intestine in to a “makeshift” colon. So on the bright side she doesnt have to wear a bag forever… on the downside she does have to go to the bathroom after almost every meal.

As a woman, do you really need to worry about heart disease? The answer is a resounding yes! Heart disease is the number one killer of American women. Though it is thought of as a men’s disease, more women than men die of heart disease each year.

Post-reproductive age women are most at risk. However, pre-menopausal women are also at risk for cardiovascular disease if they have cardiac risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, diabetes, elevated cholesterol and family history of premature cardiovascular disease.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE HEART DISEASE?

Cardiovascular disease can be silent but usually has symptoms. Lack of blood flow to the heart muscle can cause symptoms of chest discomfort, shortness of breath, fatigue and sometimes palpitations and dizziness.

Talking to your doctor about your symptoms, along with good routine follow-up care are necessary first steps to determine if any further evaluation is necessary. Many cardiac risk factors can be controlled, modified or eliminated, including hypertension, diabetes, elevated cholesterol, smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity.

Chest pain has not been perceived to be the best signal that heart disease is really present. Chest pain can have different origins and women can experience uncharacteristic features of cardiac chest discomfort.

If a woman has palpitations (the sensation of fast and/or irregular heartbeat) or other symptoms such as dizziness or shortness of breath, she should inform her doctor. Your doctor can take a careful history and perform a physical exam.

HEART DISEASE RISK FACTORS

The three biggest risk factors for cardiovascular disease that can be prevented are:

*Cigarette smoking

*High blood pressure

*High blood cholesterol

Other contributing risk factors that can be present:

*Diabetes, or high blood sugar, raises the risk of coronary heart disease. The risk of death from heart disease is about three times higher in women with diabetes. Diabetic women also are more apt to have high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol.

*The risk of heart attack or stroke is higher for women who both smoke and use high-dose birth control pills (oral contraceptives).

*Excess body weight in women is linked with coronary heart disease, stroke, congestive heart failure, and death from heart-related causes. The more overweight you are, the higher your risk is for heart disease and many other ailments and diseases.

*Studies show that physical inactivity is a risk factor for heart disease. Heart disease is almost twice as likely to develop in inactive people as in those more active.

Just one risk factor will raise your chances of having heart-related problems. The more risk factors you have, the more likely you are to develop cardiovascular diseases.

HOW CAN YOU REDUCE YOUR RISK OF HEART DISEASE?

General recommendations to avoid heart disease:

*Quit smoking

*Cut back on foods high in fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol

*Check blood pressure and cholesterol levels

*Get more exercise

*Lose weight if you are overweight

Regular physical activity can help you reduce your risk of coronary heart disease. Being active helps women take off extra pounds, helps to control blood pressure, lessens the need for insulin, and boosts the level of *good* HDL-cholesterol.

CAN DIET AND EXERCISE REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

Following a low fat, low-cholesterol diet and a regular exercise plan are excellent health habits for all to follow. They help lower blood pressure and blood sugar. These are all factors that contribute to the development of arteriosclerosis (hardening and blockage of the blood vessels).

Physically active women have a much lower risk of heart disease than sedentary women. Being physically active does not necessarily mean an aggressive exercise regimen. It can be simple activities like daily walking, climbing stairs, gardening etc. Unfortunately, however, many women are physically inactive.

Fact Two

Fact Three

Many people think that driving can be dangerous however, you are ten times more likely to be killed by heart disease than being killed in a car accident. Although AIDS is a horrific you are thirty times less likely to die of it than you are with heart disease.

Fact Four

Heart disease is not fussy killer. Whether you are male or female heart disease does not discriminate. It also makes no difference to the color of your skin as heart disease is the biggest killer of both male and females in all ethnic and racial groups in America.

Fact Five

As well being the biggest cause of deaths heart disease costs a fortune. It is estimated that the average cost related to heart disease in America is approximately 300 billion dollars.

Even though heart disease is responsible for causing many deaths it is a preventable disease. The rise of heart disease has a lot to do with the life style that many people live today. More and more people are taking less exercise, they are eating too much and the food that they are eating is very unhealthy.The rise of the fast food culture has increased the levels of obesity in America to a stage that is soon becoming epidemic. People who are overweight or obese or at a much greater risk at developing and dying from heart disease.

As pointed out in many cases heart disease is preventable. If you are overweight or obese then you should seek help and begin to change your lifestyle. You can begin by cutting down on foods that are high in saturated fats. Eat a diet that is high in fresh vegetables and fruit and lean meats. A healthy diet should also be taken in conjunction with regular exercise. If you do this regularly you will help to reduce your risk of getting heart disease.
