Say "no" to Constipation and Internal Discomfort

In modern society, people worldwide have very stressful lifestyles, conducting their daily activities under constant pressure. Common factors like working in stressful conditions, bad eating habits, fatigue and anxiety cause unbalances in the human body, weaken the immune system and may lead to illness and diseases.

One of the most frequent disturbances that appear because of these factors is constipation. Constipation is a common condition and it occurs due to improper activity of the digestive and excretory system. It is characterized by stomach aches, nausea, infrequent intestinal movement and difficultly eliminated feces.

The extended symptoms of constipation are infrequent stools, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and even fever, flatulence, gas, bad body odor, unhealthy aspect of the skin and weakness of the body.

Basically, constipation occurs due to poor diet, insufficient fiber intake and improper digestion. Occasionally, it is caused by nervous tension, anxiety or other emotional conditions.

Constipation alone is not considered to be a serious condition. Usually, it is just a sign that there is an unbalance or malfunction inside the body. Therefore, constipation may be the symptom of another disease.

Despite the fact that it is a very common disturbance and sometimes it disappears naturally, it is advised to pay a visit to a physician when you suffer from constipation. If left untreated, it may persist and lead to complications such as migraines, severe indigestion, appendicitis, obesity, hemorrhoids and even intestinal cancer.

Therefore, if you are constantly confronted with constipation, ask your physician to perform an elaborate examination and follow the prescribed treatment in order to prevent any complications from occurring.

In order to prevent constipation from reappearing, you should first try to improve your lifestyle and your diet. Restore and maintain the balance in your system by eating properly. Make sure you drink enough fluids and increase the amount of fibers in your diet by consuming plenty of fresh vegetable and fruits. Reduce the amount of carbohydrates and saturated fats by saying no to fast food and improvised meals and try to respect an eating schedule. Also, try to avoid stressful activities and make sure you get enough sleep.

By following these simple steps, you will fortify your immune system, improve your health condition and prevent the reappearing of constipation or other disorders.

Constipation remedy using apples and other juices

Here are two constipation remedies that you can use for a mild case of constipation and for a chronic case of constipation.



Apple and Pear Juice

If you have a mild case of constipation, you can use this remedy to get results.

Prepare equal amounts of fresh apple and pear juice. Drink this combination when you first wake up and one hour before bedtime.

Juice the pears that are slightly hard. If the pear is ripe, it is best to blend it whole with apple juice to create a thick drink. Using the whole pear will give you additional fiber. Just remove the seeds but do not peel the organic type.

Pears have minerals, vitamins, and chemicals that help to clean out your colon, kidney and to regenerate your blood cells.

Apple Juice and Prune Juice

Heres a constipation remedy that you can use if you have chronic constipation. In addition to just drinking apple juice, you can accelerate your peristaltic action with prune juice.

Heres how to do it.

If you have a juicer you can make fresh apple juice and drink 3-4 glasses a day. You can also drink store-bought apple juice but try to get fresh squeezed and not the type that has been flash pasteurized or pasteurized. If you can find fresh apple juice then use flash pasteurized.

Buy your juice in glass containers if possible.

Plastic containers are processed using solvents that stay in the container walls and gradually outgas into the apple juice. This out gassing is more severe when plastic containers are stored in hot places.

To speed up the laxative effects of apple juice, take the following combination first thing in the morning before you have breakfast,

Drink 2-3 cups of prune juice.
After hour, drink one cup of apple juice
Then, 1-hour later drink another cup of apple juice.

I usually buy my prune juice in a bottle and fresh squeeze my apple juice.

Be prepared to head for the bathroom after you drink your prune juice and your first glass of apple juice. You may need to head to the bathroom soon after you drink prune juice, everyone is different. I have used this combination and have recommended it to my clients and have had good results.

Prune juice by itself is good for constipation. It is a safe, gentle and an effective laxative. Drink a cup in the morning and a cup in the evening. Prune juice contain the substance dihydrophenylisatin, which is responsible for the laxative action. Prunes are also high in iron and are a great supplement if you are anemic or low on iron.

If you add prune juice to your diet, do not drink as much of it as you would when you have constipation. Drink glass in the morning and perhaps glass in the evening.
