Keeping the colon in balance is not only about digestion. It’s also linked to feeling lighter, more energized, and more comfortable throughout the day.
In Japan, where life expectancy is among the highest in the world, many people maintain simple daily habits that follow the body’s natural rhythms. One of these habits starts right after waking up.

This habit involves drinking a glass of aojiru in the morning—a traditional Japanese green drink made from young barley leaves or other green plants.
Aojiru has been consumed in Japan for decades, especially as part of a morning routine. It fits into a food philosophy known as ichiju sansai, which emphasizes simple, balanced meals centered around vegetables and plant-based foods.
