Are You Constipated?

Constipation is more that an inconvenience – it’s an all out assault on your health – you’re being poisoned! Even occasional bouts with regularity increase the wastes and poisons that circulate around your body.

Do you remember when the sewer in your home backed up? . . . Who can forget!
Do you remember the relief when the plumber cleared the line so the stuff could flow out of your home once again?

Regularity is a critical function for the elimination of waste . . .

bowelmanlgeResearchers report . . .
the estimated time between eating a meal and it’s elimination is six hours.

That’s right … six hours. The body can break down a meal, extract the nutrition, completely discard the undigested wastes – before they get a chance to spoil in the intestines and colon – in six hours.

The notion that people are regular when wastes are eliminated at a particular point in time, say once a day – is foolishness – since the act of chewing sends a signal to the bowel to make room for the next batch.

Something In – Something Out

Forcing the body to conform to some cycle of elimination, like once a day,
. . . is akin to flushing a public toilet once a day – and – who would do that?

NOTE:  The point of this analogy gets sharper when you consider the implications of even longer intervals
between bowel movements.  Need with regularity ? …

There are several unfortunate consequences of constipation
or irregular bowel movements:

The staging area (Colon) fills to its capacity slowing the movement throughout the entire digestive tract.

  1. The food that you have eaten starts to spoil:  carbohydrates begin to ferment, proteins putrefy, fats become rancid
  2. The spoiling mass of food begins to support “unfriendly” micro organisms and parasites whose byproducts affect the integrity of the digestive tract and may allow unwanted substances and organisms to spill into the body.
  3. The pH of the bowel changes – which affects, and sometimes kills, the friendly microbes that your body depends on  – further compromising digestion and elimination.
  4. Wastes and toxin levels begin to build in the body, compromising your overall body function and well being – even at the cellular level.
  5. Energy drops to almost nothing. You feel good enough to go to work, but forget anything else. You’re moody, bloated and gassy.

Is constipation and irregular bowel movements an inconvenience
. . . or a threat to your health?

Just ask yourself this: How long would you wait to call a plumber if your sewer was slow draining or backed up ?
