If you are looking for a natural remedy for constipation, there is help.
Although
each person's routine is different, you pretty much know when you're
constipated. However, you might not know what's causing the problem.
Green tea is considered a natural cure for constipation mainly because it promotes "friendly" bacteria in the intestines thereby encourages bowel regularity.
These
friendly bacteria helps increase your resistance to infection, helps
maintain bowel regularity, and promotes digestion. It has also been
reported that regular consumption of green tea results in a reduced odor
from the feces.
Constipation can also be caused by stress,
dehydration, hemorrhoids, or anal fissures. A colon with weak muscle
tone can also cause constipation.
If there aren't any serious underlying causes, there is a natural constipation relief.
Make
sure you drink plenty of water. Water adds soft bulk to stools. It's
also required by the cells of the colon to lubricate the stools'
passage.
You should drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. If
you're physically active or if you drink coffee or soda that makes you
urinate often, you should drink 12 glasses a day.
Dietary fiber absorbs water and makes stools fuller and easier to pass.
Good food sources include prunes, apples, kidney beans, and other legumes, and other oats.
Prune juice, of course, can help you with your problem.
Although it's best to get your fiber from food sources, you can also take a supplement when your meals aren't supplying enough.
If
you can afford, eat organic foods. They are healthier choice because
they are free from hormones, pesticides, and preservatives. These
chemicals are toxic to our system which causes a "traffic" or delay to
the normal flow.
In the long run, you would be saving money by
buying organic items because you will be a lot healthier, thereby less
prone to sickness.
