What do you do when you can not have a bowel movement? Are you curious how to get regular without laxatives? This is one very common reason people come to me for.
Constipation affects millions of people causing discomfort, such as back pain, gas, bloating,anxiety, and fatigue. The definition of constipation is difficulty emptying bowels. How many bowel movements should you have in a week?
Many factors can cause constipation, we will talk about a couple.
Poor diet- diet consuming processed foods, sugars, and alcohol can lead to not being able to empty the bowels. Dehydration is another factor here.
Stress- alters the hormones which can cause inflammation in the body along with muscle tension.
Lack of movement- many people have jobs where they sit at a desk for long hours making it difficult for movement.
What can we do to get things moving and start feeling better?
Fiber slowly add if you normally do not consume. Water half your body weight in ounces up to 100oz. Warm liquids.
My favorite supplements:
Aloe vera juice
Omega 3 and or flaxseed oil
Probiotics
Movement:
Walking
Yoga
These simple changes can have a major impact on health.
