How to Promote Regularity and Manage Constipation
What is
Constipation?
Constipation means that a
person has three bowel movements or fewer in a week, the
stool is hard and dry and sometimes it is painful to pass.
You may feel "draggy" and full.
The bad news is:
constipation can kill you.
The worse news is: it will
make you very sick before it does. |

There are professionals who are willing to tell you that regularity “depends on
the person.” Well, that’s not true! People should have
at least one bowel movement every day—preferably one
after each meal. That’s right— one well formed, 2”
around, 6” cigar—after each meal.
When you understand what causes constipation, you can
begin the process of managing constipation.For most
people, the number 1 cause of constipation is eating too many processed and fast
foods, too little exercise and not drinking enough
water — you can take steps to manage constipation or prevent it
altogether.
The food you
eat, how much you exercise and how much water you
drink—everyday— is a major factor for most people.
But, there are other factors, too.
What can you do to manage constipation?

Check the food you eat.
Packaged, preserved and fast food contain chemicals that preserve it for "shelf life" at the supermarket and at home, flavor it, color it,
may interfere with digestion, may be putting your digestive tract to sleep
or poisoning your body straight away. Cutting back
on processed, package foods, fast food lunches is
important when you are beginning to manage constipation.
Packing a lunch from home is not very glamorous but it
is a very good alternative.
Check the medicines you take.
Medicines that you take for another problem might cause constipation—ask your doctor
(or search the internet) if your prescriptions might be
at fault. They include pain pills, pills with codeine in them, some antacids,
iron pills, diuretics (water pills), and medicines for
depression. Ask you Doctor if there is an alternative
prescriptive medicine to help you manage your
constipation. Don't forget the over the counter
medicines either. They can play a role, too.
Use OTC and
prescriptive laxatives as a last resort and only under
professional advice.
Laxatives (in any form) are medicines that will make you pass a stool. Your
doctor may recommend laxatives for a limited time. Be
advised: The
FDA is warning consumers
not to use oral sodium phosphate (OSP) bowel cleanser
products because of the risk of acute kidney injury.
These products are routinely used as bowel cleansers
before colon examinations, other medical procedures
and in OTC (over-the-counter) products for bowel cleansing.

Functional constipation means that the bowel is healthy but not working
properly. It is often the result of
poor dietary habits and lifestyle. Changing what
you eat, what you drink and how much you exercise
will help relieve and prevent constipation. Here are
some positive steps you can take to manage your
constipation:
Eat more fiber.
Fiber helps form soft, bulky stool. It is found in many fresh vegetables,
fruits and whole grains. One good suggestion is
“The
Perfect Breakfast”. It is easy, tastes great, gives you
a terrific start in the morning, helps with cholesterol,
high blood pressure and constipation. NOTE: Be sure to
add fiber a little at a time, so your body gets used to
it slowly.
Limit white flour foods, dairy, sugar, starches and starchy vegetables.
Foods that have little or no fiber such as ice cream, cheese, meat, snacks like
chips and pizza, and processed foods such as instant
mashed potatoes or already-prepared frozen dinners have
little or no fiber and can make the situation worse.
One of the first questions is: What do I cook?
Here are
10 recipes that are great tasting and easy to
prepare. They are a terrific way to painlessly
manage constipation and eat your way to regularity.
Drink plenty of water,
eat lighter meals and soups.
Liquid helps keep the stool soft and easy to pass, so it's important to drink
enough fluids. The formula for water is: drink 1/2 your
body weight in ounces (up to a maximum of 128 ounces)
every day. NOTE: Try not to drink liquids that contain
sugar, caffeine or alcohol. Caffeine and alcohol tend to
dry out your digestive system.
Get more exercise.
Regular exercise helps your digestive system stay active and healthy. You don't
need to become a great athlete. A 20- to 30-minute walk
every day may help.
Allow yourself enough
time to have a bowel movement.
Sometimes we feel so hurried that we don't pay attention to our body's needs.
Make sure you don't ignore the urge to have a bowel
movement, and then allow enough time for it to happen.
Choose a natural nutraceutical supplement to
promote bowel function
or a natural, thorough
whole body cleanse to
sweep away the years of accumulation, restore balance
and function.
These simple steps, along with a natural night
cleanser, can help you manage constipation and, depending
on your commitment to changing the things that are
causing the problem in the first place, support
regularity.

Insanity is: doing the same thing
over and over, expecting a different outcome.
You must change the things you
do to change the way things are.
