Also, the claim that a drink can “remove all the stuck poop” or “clean your colon” is misleading. Your colon naturally cleans itself, and there is no evidence that homemade drinks remove years of waste from the intestines.
If your goal is to relieve constipation, here is a simple drink that may help:
Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 ml) warm water
- Juice of ½ a lemon
- 1–2 teaspoons honey (optional)
Preparation
- Warm the water until it is comfortably warm, not boiling.
- Squeeze the juice from half a lemon into a glass.
- Add the warm water.
- Stir in the honey if using.
- Drink it first thing in the morning or between meals.
To help prevent constipation, also try to:
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
- Eat fiber-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains.
- Stay physically active.
- Don’t ignore the urge to have a bowel movement.
