Why constipation should not be ignored
When you think, hang on, there is a blockage and you are
so uncomfortable, you can't think of anything else, that's when I know I
have to take something for it.
The effects of constipation are not just physical but can
affect you in other ways. The results of a survey carried out at a
specialist constipation clinic show that:
- 65% of people mentioned discomfort, fatigue and skin complaints as symptoms they associated with constipation
- one in four women mentioned irritability as a symptom of constipation
- 51% admit to feeling less
attractive, which impacts on their social lives; 38% said that they have
either cancelled or left early from a social engagement
- 68% said that having constipation affects their sex life, either because it is too painful or they do not feel attractive

5 Easy Tips for Relieving Constipation
1. Reduce Your Stress
2. Eat Plenty of High Fiber Foods
- Bran Cereals
- Beans, Peas & Legumes – Low in both fat and cholesterol, high in fiber and protein.
- Broccoli – Very high in fiber and an excellent natural antibiotic, broccoli has also demonstrated some cancer-fighting potential.
- Dried Fruit – Dried figs, prunes, and apricots are great intestinal
movers.
- Raw Nuts & Seeds – Raw
almonds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, hazelnuts, and chestnuts lead the
way as the best choices, because they are high in fiber, protein,
vitamin E and calcium.
- Cherries – A natural blood
stimulant, cherries have been used for centuries to detoxify the
kidneys. Cherries also have the anti-cancer compound, ellagic acid, and
are very effective at relieving constipation.
- Bananas – High in fiber and a natural bulk-producing agent, bananas are great for promoting easy digestion.
- Apples – The high pectin
levels in apples stimulate the bowels and also provide bulk for bowel
movements.
- Carrots – A rich source of
Beta-Carotene, carrots are natural body detoxifiers. Also high in
pectin, carrots add bulk to stool and can stimulate bowel contractions.
- Green Vegetables
- Cinnamon – Cinnamon stimulates intestinal peristalsis (the wave-like contractions) and also triggers the release of bile for digestion.

3. Avoid Constipating Foods and Drinks
white flour,
cheese, fried and fatty foods, sweets, salt, beef, pasteurized milk,
all junk food, carbonated drinks, caffeine, and alcohol, just to name a
few.
4. Drink Eight Glasses of Water a Day
Water is vital to
your body, and makes up approximately 80 percent of your body weight.
Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes
toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides
a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues. Water will also
help moisten the intestines, so that the bowels will move easily.
5. Exercise Regularly
Implementing a regular exercise routine into your schedule will
nourish your blood and oxygenate your system.
