Constipation Causes and Remedies
Constipation can be a symptom
of an underlying problem characterized by the difficulty of
passing stools, infrequent elimination, or an absence
of the urge to eliminate. Stools that are passed may be hard,
dry knotted or dark. Other symptoms may include bloating, appetite
loss, indigestion,
mild nausea, hemorrhoids, headaches, bad breath, skin problems,
liver problems
or weight gain
(often noticed in the stomach area).
Chronic or ongoing constipation
is unhealthy as toxins are formed and may be re-absorbed
when waste remains in the intestines for lengthy periods of
time. It has been theorized that chronic constipation can greatly
increase a person's susceptibility to intestinal cancer.
Waste should be eliminated through the bowels regularly at least
a 1-2 times per day. A healthy colon eliminates waste
in 6-12 hours. The underlying cause of constipation
is usually a low fiber, high sugar diet, which causes sluggish
and weakened peristaltic muscles. Refined (white) flour, rice,
and pasta, which have been stripped of their fiber and nutrients,
also act as catalysts. Cows milk and high stress levels can
also cause constipation. Eating enough whole grains, raw fruits
and vegetables ensures that your body is receiving the fiber
and nutrients
that are necessary for proper digestion and elimination.
Stimulating laxatives (such as Senna)
can greatly compound the problem because the constant
stimulation of the bowels interferes with the body's natural
functions. Drinking adequate water
and engaging in frequent physical activity is vital for proper
bowel function. Many herbal products exist in the marketplace
that can help lessen the frequency of constipation by improving
the quality of your digestion and elimination. A gentle
but effective colon
cleanse program at least once per year can help
ease occasional constipation and promote a healthy
digestive system.* Remember, keeping the gastrointestinal system
healthy is a great foundation for preventive health.
