So you think your colon is clean or not in too bad a shape? You watch your diet, you eat well or just maybe indulge in any food thing you can find?

Well guess what, if you own a body you need to clean it thoroughly in order to remove toxic Mucoid plaque (also known as chronic faeces) which is created when the body produces mucus to protect itself from potentially toxic substances. (Faeces are made of water, bits of food that could not be digested, dead cells from the lining of the intestines and dead bacteria) http://www.answers.com/topic/faeces-1

Mucoid plaque acts as a health threat by reducing the absorption of nutrients, impairing digestion, providing a haven for parasitic microorganisms, behaving as
a reservoir of toxins, promoting the development of cancer, causing skin conditions and allergies, and reducing bowel transit time. Anderson further claims that removing this allegedly protective layer is beneficial to health.

Eating more plant-based foods, which are rich in nutritive substances called phytochemicals, seems to prevent oxidative stress in the body, a process associated with obesity and the onset of disease,  according to findings published in the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics.

To get enough of these protective phytochemicals, researchers suggest eating plant-based foods such as leafy greens, fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes at the start of a meal. Using what is known as a phytochemical index, which compares the number of calories consumed from plant-based foods compared with the overall number of daily calories, could also help people make certain they remember to get enough phytochemicals during their regular meals and snacks.
