Youve been feeling constipated for some time now but you still have to put on
the Im just fine face for a work presentation or the parent-teacher conference
or your spouses birthday dinner or any number of life events that require your
presence. So you suffer through, making sure youve located the nearest bathroom
and dreaming of the moment you can leave and get back to the comfort of your own
home.
What if your regular constipation challenges that make you oh so irregular
could be gone without a trace? Take heart, dear reader, there is hope right
here. Follow these six easy tips for two weeks and ease constipation for good!
1. Be mindful of your fiber intake. Fiber helps you feel more fully
satisfied after a meal and breaks foods down slowly. That means that sugar, or
glucose, enters the blood stream more slowly. Your body will tell you when you
have enough fiber by giving you more regular and less painful bowel movements
and a reduction in episodes of constipation.
2. Use wheat germ or ground
flax seeds on your food. Begin with one half teaspoon per day and notice how you
feel. Gradually increase your amount to the recommended serving suggestion. You
can put either of these products on yogurt, oatmeal, apple sauce, salads and
more!
3. Increase your intake of fruits and vegetables to one large
serving per day. They can also serve as a yummy snack while giving you extra
fiber.
4. Eat dark leafy greens at least once per day.
5.
Increase the amount of water you drink in the morning and in the afternoon in
order to hydrate the intestines.
6. Do any form of exercise that will
help to stimulate the intestines such as yoga, stretching, hiking and long
distance walking, running or pilates. Any form of exercise that you feel
comfortable with will be good for you as long as you stick with it at least
three times per week.
Following these helpful tips will increase your
overall health while also ending your constipation challenges. Isnt it a relief
to give yourself some relief?
