The body works in cycles, NOT haphazardly. If we work WITH our bodies’ cycles, once we understand them, we would operate smoother like a well oiled machine. When we work against them, you hear of problems like indigestion, constipation, bloat, gird, lack of energy and even disease. On a daily basis we go through 3 cycles: taking in food which is called appropriation, absorption of those nutrients from the food is called assimilation and then eliminating what we took in after the body is finished extracting the nutrients (including billions of dead cells) is called elimination.
What role does being constipated play in your life? Is it just something to laugh about? Is moving your bowels still the forbidden thing to discuss? Does anybody ask you during the last week a life-saving question like “Does your poop float?” or “Did you poop today?” Are you thinking about what’s going to come out as much as how much you think about what’s going in (eating!)?? You better re-think these funny but Not So Funny thoughts and questions as your life may depend on it.
Many people do not know how to eat, what to eat or what not to eat. This article is to help answer that question. Eating correctly or more specifically, combining your food correctly, is the most important thing you can do for a working WITH your colon / elimination (pooping), having better digestion and having natural relief for constipation. It’s one of the major answers to the question “what to do about constipation”.
How many people including you will ask that question out loud!? In fact, many do ask that question in their mind or on the keyboard of their computer while doing an internet search. How to poop is questioned by those who may be suffering with diverticulitis, gastritis, constipation, colon cancer or constipation in pregnancy. How to poop is a truly good question. Let’s break down into steps some answers. How to poop can be responded first by how often should I poop? The healthiest answer is once after every major meal. The normal individual eats 2 major meals a day, so that answer would be 2 times a day. An absolute minimum is 1 poop a day. All bowel movements should float indicating good fiber levels which help keep your colon walls clean and much more.
There are 2 definitions or opinions on what constipation is and how many bowel movements a day is considered normal. General mainstream medicine has stated 3 bowel movements a week is ok but never really makes clear what is good for health or why. Natural medicine (and common sense) says one bowel movement after each major meal is what should happen for optimal colon health. Since most Americans eat 2 major meals a day, 2 bowel movements a day is what you should be having.
Only those who suffer from constipation fully understand the term constipation relief. Why, it is all about getting free from that crappy, uncomfortable feeling you don’t seem to understand where it’s coming from. Worry and fret no more. Just try the following for relief for constipation and you will achieve that feeling of freedom from discomfort and pain. Fruits. They contain fiber. Aside from this, they are usually juicy and so give your body a lot of fluids. For constipation relief, take more amounts than the usual serving. They are great for desserts or snacks so you have a lot of opportunities to have them. They are also laden with natural vitamins and minerals for overall health. And last but not least, they don’t have side effects and are not fattening.
EVERYTHING! While most women deal with some form of constipation and 95% of Americans are fiber deficient, the health of the colon (directly effecting Your complexion) is almost always overlooked. Fix the root of the problem not the fruit! Don’t keep addressing the symptoms (they will keep coming back) as mainstream medicine does. Fix the root of problem and watch gorgeous skin appear. How do I achieve a healthy colon?? A healthy colon is directly influenced by moving your bowels daily and having adequate fiber in your diet (your poop should float) AND going 1 to 2 times a day (once after each major meal).
The only ‘experience’ you want to have is a few minutes in and out of the bathroom, easy delivery, low toilet paper usage and finish with a genuine smile! While bowel movements are a great source of h umor (and that is good too) the Colon IS the foundation to the house, and affects the entire body. What’s the Ideal Day? 1 to 2 bowel movements, easy delivery, floating (yes, you want ships and not submarines!) low paper usage (when you’re clean inside, you’ll know it) and a skip in your walk because you will feel THAT good.
So what causes constipation during the summer heat? What makes our bowel movements change during the summer? The answer is water water water. What all of us don’t realize is HOW MUCH water our bodies loose trying to stay cool in the summer heat, especially now when temperatures have escalated to extreme levels. The bowel uses water to move fecal matter through the large intestine. When it’s hot out and we sweat, not realizing how much water that sweat adds up to keep the body temperature from overheating, results in the slowing down the process of the bowel, increasing constipation levels.
