Water Flush
Water is simply a wonder. It is one thing always readily available that can immediately help in your quest for a better bowel movement! Sometimes, our grandmothers are just wiser than modern-day tips on eliminating constipation.
As soon as you stumble out of your bed, drink successively six up to eight glasses of warm water. You will be surprised how it gets your digestive system in a hyperactive state! It immediately adds water to your stools, making it more heavy and ready to travel down your colon. No wonder our doctors always tell us to drink lots of fluids. But when we say fluids, we do not mean coffee, carbonated drinks, or sodas. By saying fluid here, we mean water. Yes you got it right: water!Not Too Old for Milk
You think you are too old for milk? Wrong. Milk can help relieve constipation, aside from giving you the calcium you need as your bones start to deteriorate due to aging.
Before pulling on the covers for a good night's sleep, try doing what toddlers are used to do: drink your own share of milk. One warm glass will work quite well. This will help ease up your problem with defecation. If you happen to experience chronic constipation, try to add in two spoonfuls of castor oil into your warm glass of milk. Careful though. Be sure the next day you are staying at home! :-) You might be repeatedly running to the comfort room to unload all those gooey stuff.Sleep Right, Flush Right
Who says sleep does not have anything to do with a faulty bowel movement? Well, to put it straight, do not take your sleep for granted.
Sleep for at least eight hours. Spare yourself from late-night stress. You will be surprised how much change it will do on your bowel movement.Get Your Entire Body Moving
It might help moving the couch to another floor and on its place do your usual workout. Research has proven that there is a link between lack of physical activity with that of constipation. So get yourself moving. A twenty to thirty-minute walk every day, especially after having your dinner, is enough to get your body cells energized to start detoxifying. Careful though not to do it RIGHT AFTER dinner. We all know you would not want your appendix shrieking in terror.Shivering, dithering, splendid!
Dithering can be a solution also. To help speed up bowel movement, try to dither your upper body first. Then simultaneously do the compression and relaxation of your abdomen. In this case you get spared from waiting a long time to get your bowel movement done.
Right Food to Sweep the Goo Away
A healthy bowel movement is the result of a healthy lifestyle. If we feed ourselves with garbage, our system can become too stuck up it will result to malfunction. Here are some important tips on food to avoid constipation and at the same time relieve it.
- If life gives you lemons... squeeze the lemons and pour the juice into warm water! Refrain from putting salt or sugar. Just bear with the taste. It will surely help your bowels move faster.
- While cooking, try your best to be creative and add cumin powder and asafetida. Some ingredients to add to your grocery list can be coriander and turmeric powder. These will help your foods become readily digestible.
- Let go of what makes you stop! Therefore, say goodbye to junkfood, fastfood, readily processed foods, and everything else artificial. You might also need to say goodbye to deep frying, preserved and dried fruits and vegetables, cauliflowers, cabbages, as well as dal and some other pulses. Not unless if you want gases and toxins building up in your body! Ditch products made from processed white flour. Avoid foods such as white rice, cheese, potatoes, and sugar, because these contain complex carbohydrates. The more starch, the harder to digest. So, simply stay out of it. You can do it! You have to, if you want a healthier body.
- Do not just mix your food. It might be necessary to eat one family at a time. To be specific, do not try eating cereals, vegetables, and pulses all at one sitting. You have three meals a day to spread them out on!
