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."

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  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.
