Eliminate Constipation with Natural Healing Options

[artcanthurtu]

Those extra pounds you’re carrying around could literally be last years big mac!

Fire in the belly isn’t always a good thing – especially if it’s really in your colon.
Chronic constipation is a combination of factors – usually poor diet coupled with continued dehydration. Lack of exercise and low fiber also contributes to the problem. If you have ever suffered from chronic constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, bloating, excess gas or bowel pain then you know just how disabling this problem is.

Everybody gets stuck now and again

The fact is that most people, at some point in their life, experience constipation. However, the host of chronic bowel problems that plagues people today indicates that colon cleansing and health is something we need to admit, embrace and start doing something about. The main thing to remember is to keep yourself well hydrated so everything can move through easily. As a holistic practitioner for over 20 years I have worked with hundreds of people who come to me with pain in their bellies.

Your idea of regularity might be somewhat irregular

Nearly all of the people I worked with over the years who have come in with chronic constipation tell me that they are regular. To them this means having a bowel movement once a day or once every 2 or 3 days and thinking that is normal. I will tell you this: if you are eating 3 meals a day you should be going to the bathroom 3 times a day, and if you are not, something’s getting clogged!

Those hard to lose pounds could be sitting in your gut

There is the infamous John Wayne story: reportedly on his autopsy, he had over 20 lb of undigested fecal matter. If it could happen to him it could happen to anyone! There are people who have reported losing 100-200 lb after doing a naturally healthy and non-stimulant based colon cleansing! This is certainly not typical but it does illustrate the fact that what goes in must come out.
These folks have been eliminating stuff they have literally been carrying around for years. It may seem unbelievable to the average person that anyone could carry around so much junk in their body without having a clue. Yet it happens to most of us at one time or another.

What does a colon cleanse actually do and what part of the colon does it cleanse?

A good colon cleanse will cleanse the entire colon. This primarily helps your large intestines but a good colon cleanse will, to a certain extent, cleanse the small intestine too. One of the main problems a colon detox will help with is to get the muscles around the colon to start functioning better. One of the primary reasons these muscles are not functioning properly is that they are not sufficiently hydrated. When a muscle becomes dehydrated it does not work as well and one of the first things that will happen is that it stops contracting.

When it stops contracting, waste materials get trapped and dry out inside the intestines. When we have undigested food material, if it is not liquefied enough, it sticks to the intestine. Eventually it will harden and when it hardens it also prevents the muscles from contracting, so it is a combination of reasons.

Consider this the next time you see someone who has a pot belly: (30-50% of men over the age of 40 tend to have what they refer to as their favorite little beer belly) Some of this belly is a factor of accumulated fat but a lot of it can be attributed to undigested food matter. Yuk! People who are constipated all the time also gradually get fatter and fatter and fatter.

This weight gain is not necessarily at all because of the fat that accumulates; it is often a result of undigested fecal matter sitting in the colon. This toxic waste is just sitting there robbing you of the energy and vitality you deserve. Try a healthy, natural and safe colon cleanse and see how much better you can feel today.
