How to Cure Constipation Quickly & Easily
Constipation is one of the most common gastrointestinal
complaints in the United States, resulting in about 2 million
doctor visits annually. However, most people treat themselves
without seeking medical help, as is evident from the millions of
dollars people spend on laxatives each year. When compared to
other diseases constipation is easily curable by adhering
suitable dietary patterns. The hard and dry stools of
constipation occur when the colon absorbs too much water or if
the colon's muscle contractions are slow or sluggish, causing
the stool to move through the colon too slowly.
There are numerous home remedies available for constipation. The
truth behind the usage of home remedies in constipation
condition is mainly with the available fiber content in the home
remedial ingredients. Normally fruits are widely used to assist
constipation. Fruits are made by nature and are a perfect food.
They contain the right balance of nutrients with distilled
water. You gain enormous benefits from eating fruits especially
if you eat the outer skin and eat them without cooking. They are
easy to digest and absorb and do not stress your colon.
Eat 3-4 apples a day to relieve constipation. It does not matter
what type of apple you eat, but I like gala or Fuji apples since
they are small and crisp. It is best to use fresh organic apples
when eating apples as a snack since you will not know what
pesticides were used in growing the apples. If apples are not
organic, it is better to peel the apple before eating. In
addition to dietary changes and stool softeners, many patients
with constipation need a 'clean out' regimen to help get backed
up stool out. We should not have to frequently use enemas or
laxatives to help your patient have a BM.While there are some
medical causes of constipation, such as Hirschsprung's disease,
cystic fibrosis and hypothyroidism, most patients who are
constipated are normal.
Dried apple slices are also a good source of fiber. However,
when the slices are dehydrated most nutrients are lost but fiber
is retained. Sulfur dioxide is typically used to dry apple
slices and this can cause allergic or asthmatic reactions in
some people. I do not recommend using dried apple slices in
place of fresh organic apples. Using baked apples also helps to
clear constipation. Eat one baked apple at night, right before
bedtime, and one just upon rising. Do this until you
constipation is cleared.
Mulberry juice has many health benefits. It is good for
digestive tract illnesses. It can stimulate digestion and
assimilation of nutrients in the small intestine. It is useful
for older people for reliving constipation. Mulberry contains
many minerals and vitamins. Boysenberry juice has a gentle
natural laxative action on your bowel. When your constipation is
mild, this juice will help move things in your colon.
