HEALTH TIPS

Eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods. You need more than 40 different nutrients for good health, and no single food supplies them all. Your daily food selection should include bread and other whole-grain products; fruits; vegetables; dairy products; and meat, poultry, fish and other protein foods. How much you should eat depends on your calorie needs. Use the Food Guide Pyramid and the Nutrition Facts panel on food labels as handy references.

COLONIC HEALTH

A meta-analysis by researchers at Georgetown University has confirmed earlier findings that the popular practice of colonics offers no health benefits and clear personal risks. The new research looked at 20 prior studies of the benefits of colonic irrigation, a popular offering at health spas, and concluded that there was no evidence of a health benefit across these varying studies. The researchers, like HumanaNatura, instead recommend focus on known contributors to our health and vitality – especially vegetable-rich natural eating and daily exercise. If deep cleansing of the gastrointestinal system is desired, a safer, less costly, and far more complete approach is water-only fasting, which reliably and naturally cleanses our entire body and may help to relive minor physical ailments.

COLONIC irrigation

The procedure, which involves flushing the colon with water through a tube inserted in the rectum, can lead to nausea, cramping, bloating and in some extreme cases, renal failure and even death, according to a study by Georgetown University.

Lead author Dr. Ranit Mishori, a physician at the university, said, "There can be serious consequences for those who engage in colon cleansing whether they have the procedure done at a spa or perform it at home."

She added, "Colon cleansing products in the form of laxatives, teas, powders and capsules ... tout benefits that don't exist."

The report, which looked at 20 previous studies on colonic irrigation published in medical literature over the past decade, said that as well as no evidence of any benefits, the spas and clinics administering the treatment have no significant medical training.

Even organizations such as the National Board for Colon Hydrotherapy do not require practitioners to have much more than a high school diploma, the researchers wrote in the Journal of Family Practice.

Mishori recommended natural ways to improve well-being, advising health-conscious people to "eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, get six to eight hours of sleep and see a doctor regularly."

Colonic irrigation can be traced back to the ancient Egyptians but was discredited by the American Medical Association in the early 20th century.

However, the treatment made a comeback in recent years and has been linked to celebrities including Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Love and Diana, Princess of Wales.
