8 Simple Ways to End Constipation

1) SALT FLUSH – Fast and effective. Guaranteed to get things moving in 20 minutes or less.  The salt flush is an integral part of the renowned “Master Cleanse” aka Lemonade Diet.

Recipe: Mix 2 rounded teaspoons of sea salt (don’t use Kosher or Iodized table salt) with 1 quart (4 cups) warm, filtered water.

Down it as quickly as possible. The salt water is the same gravity as your blood, so it won’t be absorbed into your bloodstream.

Take smaller sips if you gag and/or pinch your nose closed to cut the taste. It won’t win any awards for taste, but you will definitely need to reserve a spot in the nearest bathroom for at least 1 hour after drinking it.

2) ADD FIBER – in the form of more fruits and vegetables, brown rice and or beans. Oranges and apples, in particular have a natural “laxative” effect.

If you’re not into fruit, take an over the counter fiber supplement in an easy to swallow capsule that will give you your recommended daily dose 20-25 grams. Yerba Prima® makes an excellent daily fiber cap supplement.

3) TAKE PROBIOTICS – Good bacteria or flora is essential for proper assimilation of vitamins and nutrients from the food we eat.  Yogurt is good, but most of the good bacteria is digested by stomach enzymes long before it reaches your large intestines.

A supplement like an enteric coated capsule protects the good bacteria from stomach acids so it can reach your colon and large intestines. Jarrow Formula® brands make a great, enteric coated, easy-to-swallow supplement.

4) EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids) – From fish or seeds not only affect growth, vitality and mental state. But omega 3, 6 and 9 also lubricate your intestinal tract, making it easier to pass stools.

5) SQUAT – Until the mid 1850’s people squatted to move their bowels. After an English cabinet maker and plumber devised the modern toilet, squatting quickly became a thing of the past.

Numerous studies have shown that regular use of the modern toilet leaves major areas of the abdominal wall unsupported as we bear down.

It is difficult to achieve a full evacuation. Since the yellow pages has become virtually obsolete, stack a few in front of the toilet (about 6-9 inches high) and rest your feet on top.

A more permanent, practical and visually pleasing option is a Welles Step. The Welles Step was created by Dr. William Welles, a practicing Chiropractor, Nutritionist and Kinesiologist from California, to help people achieve the correct posture for proper elimination.

The Welles Step has been specifically designed with the anatomical structure of the human body, specifically the pelvis, the digestive tract and the colon, in mind. Several website sell the Welles Step online.

6) EXERCISE – Proper hydration speeds up your metabolism, which in turn speeds up the transit times of your food passing through your digestive tract down to the colon for elimination. Even walking for just 10 minutes or more a day will begin to move things along nicely.

7) DRINK (More) WATER – Pretty obvious. But why can it be such a challenge to drink 80% of our body weight on a daily basis? During the course of a day we’re so busy with trying to get things done, we forget to take a sip.

Carrying a refillable, reusable water bottle around with you improves your chances of staying hydrated significantly.

With growing concerns about commercially bottled water and the devastating effects of plastic on landfills and the environment, polycarbonate bottles like Nalgene® are great alternatives.

Environmentally conscious folks prefer stainless steel bottle from places like Kleen Kanteen®.

What ever your preference, keeping water handy at all times can make all the difference.

8) INTERNAL DETOXIFICATION – The most effective, comprehensive way to naturally cure constipation…and lose weight, boost your energy and vitality, lower stress and look younger all at once.
