THE MOST IMPORTANT Body Part
One day the body organs got together and decided to have a board meeting.
Here's what went on behind closed doors. There was intense discussed to determine, who the most important part of the body was. The BRAIN was the first to speak. "Without me, nothing would be accomplished." Then the HEART spoke up. “Without me pumping blood to your brain, you would not function." The ARMS laughed. “You're both wrong. "without me to put food in the mouth, nothing would work." |
The STOMACH said, “Without me, your food would not digest."
The LUNGS bellowed back," With us, you could not breathe."
The EYES blinked, "without us, you could not see."
The Kidneys snorted, "Without me, you would not detoxify and eliminate."

The EYES blinked, "without us, you could not see."
The Kidneys snorted, "Without me, you would not detoxify and eliminate."
Then the Colon meekly spoke up. "I am important. You need me to eliminate all the garbage from your systems."
Everyone Laughed and made fun of him. "How can you be as important as we are? You're just a smelly old sewer"
The poor colon-his feelings were hurt! HE turned away and thought. "I’ll show them." HE SHUT DOWN!
Then he sat back and watched what happened.
The BRAIN was stupefied.

The BRAIN was stupefied.
The HEART's beat was weak and irregular.
The ARMS were weak and couldn't move. The LUNGS gave in to shallow breathing. The EYES became clouded. The KIDNEYS quit. The COLON looked around and decided it was time to call another meeting. It wasn't too lively this time, but EVERYONE was in total agreement THE COLON WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT ORGAN! |
Although the above Ditty was meant as good fun, there is a great deal of truth to it. If the colon is not working properly, even if it is just slightly not working, it WILL always have an effect in the health of the total body. It may take years for discernible symptoms to appear, but sooner or later they are going to manifest.
An easy self test on colon health is a simple transit time test. Simply eat 3-5 tbsp of cooked whole corn, without chewing it. Swallow it whole. Then check to see how long it takes before you see it eliminated in the toilet as it will still be undigested.
It should pass in 18-24 hours. If it takes much longer than that, you have a sluggish bowl.
After every meal, you should have a bowel movement.
