The colon is the last (5) five feed of the digestive tract. It is a hollow, tubelike organ made up of muscle structure that moves digested food along by a wavelike motion known as peristaltic action.
The colon is the living area for a host of bacteria that produce vitamins, such as K and some B vitamins.
The colon also absorbs water, nutrients, proteins and cell salts back into the blood stream.
The colon has been referred to as the sewer system of the body. It is the place where we store the waste material that most of us would rather not think about and most of us don't until our health becomes poor or we feel constipated or have diarrhea. It best benefits the body due to release of this accumulated congestion in the bowel.
