Relieving Constipation At Home

Constipation is a condition where a person is not eliminating on a regular (daily) basis. The stools are usually dry, hard and difficult to pass. While some doctors will tell their patients that it’s “normal” to eliminate only once or twice a week, it is my opinion that those who are not moving their bowels on a daily basis will end up suffering from more serious conditions in the long-term.

constipated Constipation originates in the colon, the organ responsible for processing waste and absorbing water and nutrients from our food. A healthy colon will absorb most of the water and nutrients efficiently, leaving only waste behind to pass comfortably as stool. However, constipation will arise if too much water is absorbed or if the colon’s muscle contractions are slow or sluggish, not moving the food through quickly enough.

The most common cause of constipation is an unhealthy diet, especially one that is low in fiber and high in fat, sugar and processed foods. Not drinking adequate water can also contribute to irregularity, as can certain medications, lack of exercise and a sedentary lifestyle in general. On the more serious end of the spectrum, long-term constipation can lead to various health conditions such as hemorrhoids, obesity, varicose veins and even colon cancer. Constipation can also signal the presence of ailments such as diverticulitis or Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS.

In some cases an increase in water intake, fiber and exercise will help alleviate constipation. But you’ve probably heard some of this from your doctor already as he was sending you home with a prescription for laxatives. But let me tell you the real secret behind getting rid of constipation once and for all. Cleanse! Cleanse! Cleanse! Cleansing your colon on a regular basis will help process foods more efficiently and ensure regular bowel movements. A thorough colon cleanser will work to eliminate debris from your digestive tract safely and effectively, preventing any further build-up that might lead to constipation.

In my opinion, the Colonix program from DrNatura.com, along with a healthy diet, adequate water and exercise, is an excellent way to help relieve constipation. Its effective yet gentle system helps break down toxic build up, clearing the digestive tract over time and keeping the flow of materials smooth.

What You Can Do At Home

Changing one's lifestyle can go a long way towards alleviating constipation:

Exercising regularly, especially if you have an office job or one which requires a lot of sitting, is something just about anyone can do. Try to commit yourself to walking, biking, swimming or engaging in any other physical activity that you enjoy, at least 3-5 times a week for a minimum of 30 minutes at a time. If you can do more than this, all the better! The main thing is to get moving.

The next step is to change your diet to include plenty of healthy, high-fiber foods which will promote regularity. Beans, whole grains, fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as premium quality fiber supplements will help maintain regular bowel movements by softening the stool and making it bulkier. At the same time, eliminate (or reduce) white flour products, processed foods, red meat and sweets as much as possible.

And last but certainly not least, drinking six to eight glasses of water a day will aid in softening your stool and improve the regularity of your bowel movements. 100% fruit juice works quite well too, but it should be consumed in addition to the water and not instead of it. Stay away from caffeinated beverages, such as coffee and soft-drinks, as well as alcohol, which can make constipation worse as they have a diuretic effect. They can cause a mild state of dehydration by flushing fluids out of your body, thus leading to harder stools that are much more difficult to eliminate.

A Crucial Element: Colon Flora

constipated Even though, prescription or over-the-counter laxatives can help relieve occasional constipation, many of them are unnecessarily harsh and can become habit forming. Proceed with caution if you wish to use over-the-counter laxatives to help with constipation. Natural herbal laxatives tend to be gentler on the body and can be a safe alternative to help loosen your stool and to promote regularity.

DrNatura.com's products provide excellent help in relieving constipation. The Colonix cleanser will eliminate wasteful blockage and build-up: clearing the colon to allow for free and regular bowel movements without forcing the body through any harsh or abrupt changes. I also recommend using Probiotics, such as Flora Protect, to help restore the right balance of healthy bacteria in the digestive system - another crucial element in proper digestion and elimination.

“I have always suffered with constipation”

“I am on my third month of the Colonix cleanse, and have had some amazing results. I have always suffered with constipation and nothing I took seemed to help. I learned about the Colonix Cleanse by listening to one of Kevin Trudeau’s tapes. He did not claim that this product would heal any disease, but he recommended it as a good colon cleanser. So, I went online and looked up the word ‘colonix’ and came across your website. First, I placed one order to see if it would work for me. When I saw the amazing results, then I ordered another two, and now I'm on my third month.

At first, I wasn't looking to see what was being expelled from my body, but when I checked out the picture gallery, I began to take notice what was coming out of my body. I had some of the same disgusting stuff coming out of my body. At first I was afraid, and thought that something was going wrong, that maybe this should not be coming out of my body. Then, when I saw the pictures, I was relieved to know that someone else was expelling the same thing from their body. I was so excited that I told quite a few of my Church family, and they told their family and friends. They all ordered, and also I have told my co-workers and I have ordered for some of them.

When I first went on the program I didn't tell anyone, because I wanted to see if any one could tell the difference. Some of the comments I received was ‘Dorothy what are you doing? Your face has a glow to it, you don't look bloated like you use to, you come to work very energetic, or your skin seems to have gotten fairer.’ I must say that I feel great. It seemed like every morning I woke up I have another pain some where. After being on the Colonix cleanser the pain in my hip is gone. Each night when I went to bed, if I had to turn over I would have to put both my hands underneath my bottom to turn from one side to another, and at that I would have to move myself slowly. Now I can turn with ease. I thank God for DrNatura’s product. This is one of the best products I have ever experienced, and as some of the others who gave their testimonies said, I feel lighter, renewed with lots of energy. My stomach has shrinked, and I will continue to tell everyone I know that is complaining about stomach pains, and other ailments to try your product.

I have always believed in herbal healing, that for every disease, God has something natural for it. I truly believe that God wants us to take care of our bodies. Our bodies are the temple of God, and just like a car, if you don't keep up with the maintenance, it will put you down. Our bodies are the same way, we must take care of our bodies from the inside out, and from the outside in, or it will put us down.”
