Home Remedies for Constipation
We will be examining a delicate subject when dealing with home remedies
for constipation, and will try our very best to word this absolutely
natural and vital bodily function, in a manner that is acceptable to all.
Firstly lets quickly get straight down to the nuts and bolts of this "not been able to "go" problem.
Constipation is the term used for the difficulty in passing stools.
Or in other words, the inability of not been able to have a decent
"poop".
Regular bowel movements indicate a healthy bowel and reduces the risk of large-bowel disease , particularly cancer of the colon and the resultant need for a colostomy or ileostomy bag .
Natural laxatives and foods high in fiber also form part of constipation home remedies.
Alternating constipation and diarrhea may be a sign of irritable bowel syndrome rather than constipation.
And a Doctor said to me one day, if it does'nt slide out like a banana You are either constipated or you have diarrhea...
What Causes Constipation?
There can be many different causes for constipation and we have tried out best to lists most, if not all, of the possible
causes.
- Lack of fiber - Fiber and some forms of starch
are fermented in the large bowel and provide the bulk that helps to
stimulate the muscles of the colon so that digested food can be
pushed through the gut.
- Home Remedies for Constipation rule No1. ........ stop eating junk food!!!
- Heavy consumption of processed foods, too much fat and protein in the diet is a major cause of constipation.
- Insufficient
liquid intake - your body always needs to be properly hydrated to
prevent the dense mass of digested food in the colon becoming further
dehydrated and making it dry and hard and difficult to pass through
the system.
- Stress - that one thing that causes so many problems in our lives, is also a cause of constipation.
- Medications such as iron supplements painkillers and antibiotics can also be reasons for constipation.
- Why not rather take a look at natural ways to help with an iron deficiency and see what natural antibiotics are available to you.
- Home remedies for constipation rule No2. always look for natural alternatives.
Fruit and Veggies Vs Junk Food
- In today's times we spend so much time in front of our computers and
disregard what the lack of exercise is doing to our bodies.
- Physical
activity speeds up the movement of waste through the intestines,
thereby helping with constipation problems.
- Bad bowel movements, in other words not "going" when the need arises is another principle cause of constipation.
- Advanced
age - getting on in years is not for the weak and amongst all the
other ailments inflicted upon the older person, constipation is added to
the list.
- Constipation is common in pregnancy.
- High
levels of calcium and low levels of thyroid hormones are two metabolic
disturbances that can interfere with regular bowel movements.
- On-going infections in the body, caused by parasites, bacteria or yeast infections like candida.
- And lastly a magnesium deficiency is also believed to be a cause of constipation, once again natural solutions can be obtained.
