#5: Colon Cleansers

Your colon is one amazing, delicate, and thriving ecosystem, part of the most important system in your body: the gut.

What it doesn’t do is store fecal matter for years at a time.

You don’t need to take any colon cleansing products (or enemas, or do colon hydrotherapy) to remove all of this imaginary buildup.

What you can do to help your colon is to eat lots of soluble and insoluble fiber by way of fruits and vegetables, eat some fermented foods, drink lots of water, and exercise. Let your colon do the rest.

#6: Body Wraps

We’re sure you’ve seen the latest craze in fat loss: body wraps!

Supposedly, you put these on for 12-24 hours and when you take them off, you’re drastically thinner. Well, sure. There might appear to be a huge difference, but you know what you’ve lost? Water weight.

Fluids have moved to other parts of the body, or have been lost through sweat.

What you haven’t lost is fat, and you’ll be back to looking exactly as you were within a day or two. So don’t waste your time or money.
