Undigested food in liquid form flows from the small intestine to the large intestine. There, most of the water content and mineral salts are absorbed back into the body. The semi-solid waste remaining is still 60-70% water and 10-30% bacteria, with the rest being indigestible cellulose material, dead cells and other waste materials.
The smooth, muscular walls of the colon contract to move waste through it. This takes anywhere from 12-24 hours depending on the roughage present.
People with diets high in refined foods (such as sugar and white flour) and low fibre foods (such as meat, eggs and dairy products) are especially susceptible to intestinal problems. Sufficient fibre is required to maintain regularity and normal stool consistency.
Another factor in colon health is maintaining a good supply of beneficial bacteria.
