How to relieve constipation quickly and
naturally.
Constipation is a common problem and is
usually caused by poor nutrition and imbalances within the body.
Carrying lots of waste can cause toxins
to leak into your body, which weakens your immune system, makes you gain
unhealthy weight, and makes the body prone to infections and disease.
If you haven't used the toilet for more
than 2 days, then it is likely you are constipated and may begin to experience
bloating, pain, discomfort and gas.
In today's video we will share with you
six methods which you can follow to get rid of constipation fast.
1. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into 1
litre of mineral water. This citrus will stimulate the digestive system, and
the water will hydrate your body.
This helps the faecal matter to slide
through the intestines easier.
2. Add apple cider vinegar into your diet.
You can add this to a healthy smoothies, juices, salads or glasses of water.
The pectin within this healthy vinegar helps to improve your digestion.
The live enzymes within also help to
break down your food, as well as the magnesium helping to promote regular bowel
movements.
3. Eat raw extra virgin olive oil. You can
take 1 tablespoon of this in the morning. This lubricates the bowels and
intestines, allowing stools to pass easier.
4. 1 cup of black coffee works to trigger
a bowel movement due to the caffeine within. This should only be drank once in
a while, as too much caffeine can have the opposite effect.
5. Eating raw vegetables and fruits with
every meal will promote normal digestion and prevent constipation in the
future. Broccoli, apricots, plums, pears, berries, apples and cruciferous
vegetables are highly recommended.
6. Performing some simple exercise such as
star jumps or a light jog will help to speed up the metabolism and aid
digestion.
Often you will find after only 10
minutes of exercise, you may need to use the toilet.
If you suffer with constipation long
term, then you may wish to introduce probiotic supplements and digestive
enzymes into your diet. These help your food to break down naturally, giving
your body a healthy, yet natural boost.
