Is it true that if you drink a lot of water it flushes out your system??


Question: like get rid of nasty stuff thats been sitting in you for a long time? b/c i want to take that colon liquid thing to clean my inside but i heard that water can do the same as that thing is it true?
Answers: not as well but yeparoo

Water colonic is not a good thing because pure water will get absorbed into your body and in high amounts may cause water intoxication. Not very effective. Salt water can be dangerous too, because you may absorb too much salt.

Your colon's function is mostly to absorb water from your colon back into your body so that the stool will not come out as diarrhea, It is a balance because too much water absorption or not enough fluids already in your colon will lead to constipation.
If you are trying to flush out your colon, you would need a colonic or maybe magnesium citrate orally. But if you have normal bowel movements, you don't need to do this. Drink plenty of fluids daily, eat foods with fiber (fiber stays in your colon and attracts some water back in to the colon so you avoid constipation), and avoid medications that constipate. Get regular exercise which promotes regular bowel movement.

Colonics can be dangerous by disrupting the normal bacterial flora in your colon, and in some cases can damage your colon.
If you have normal regular bowel movements, you are okay. Think about it, if you have regular bowel movements, you are already flushing out toxins.
it will but niacin helps with that also..
Whenever I drink a lot of water I feel sick and gain weight.
It's true, water can help you to wash away all impurities within ur body, but also!, it helps you to loose weight :)
yes if you drink ONLY water it will start to flush out your body.
Yes, but cannberry juice can do the same, plus it taste good too.
yes, but don't drink too much, because you can drown your system. remember in california the radio contest where people had to drink a lot of water and hold thier pee? The woman died from drinking too much water.
Sure, but too much water can also wash away important vitamins and minerals in your body
Be careful of drinking too much water you can get water intoxication (and hyponatremia). Happens when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of safe limits by a very rapid intake of water.

Might want to also research what the affects of the colon cleanse are, since there are so many types of drugs/programs for colon cleansing. Some of the methods are more harmful than others. Good luck.
I know that it is good for your kidneys and you must have water in your body to help your colon work properly. I was told that it helps flush out your system from cold etc......
If it is true. I do not know for sure but ask your physician. I only drink water except for early morning I drink coffee; however, I 'm not suppose to.
