Constipation

Many of us lead such busy lives that we hardly pay any attention to whether or not we empty our bowels daily. Constipation is a very common problem and its seriousness we sometimes fail to realize. Constipation causes abdominal discomfort, bloated stomach, excess wind and piles. It makes us spend longer time in the toilet, lost concentration at work, frequent headache and skin problems. If not taken seriously it may linked to more severe problems like high blood pressure, backache, arthritis and several common cancers. The severity of constipation often increases with age and by ignoring, it is not going to get better and can get worse if steps are not taken to eliminate it. Unless we clean out our colon, we can never prevent health problem that can shorten our life or make senior years a miserable time. To clean out the colon, we must first, move our bowels daily, preferably twice.

If you are suffering from constipation and wish to get rid of it once and for all, you must start by making a few lifestyle changes, including eating a diet high in fibre, drinking plenty of water and exercising. If the diet lacks fibre, there’s not enough bulk to push wastes through the colon. Even though diet is a major cause of sluggish colon, simply eating better food is not the solution. Many who have switched to a natural raw food, properly combined diet, would still be constipated, as faecal matter has become so hardened and thickened that diet alone won’t do the trick. When this happens, taking a safe herbal tea to aid the elimination, and high fibre supplement often works miracles to restore regular bowel movement.
