In today's world many people suffer from constipation and
seek relief through medications, which may work and some don't. However those
that work only give temporary relief so the remedy is repeated various times
which can worsen the problem. Constipation is caused due to poor eating
habit, improper lifestyle or from stress.
Drugs containing iron, hypothyroidism can lead to constipation and give
rise to irregular bowel movement. A sedentary lifestyle, lack of exercise can
slow down bowel movements. If you eat more than you require it slows down your
metabolism and upsets the digestive system.
Not including enough of fiber in your meals can lead to constipation.
The symptoms of constipation are loss of appetite, headache,
lethargy, depression, insomnia, bad
breath and piles, to name a few, where the bowel movements are painful and
irregular. Therefore it is important to
be stress free and mentally relaxed to deal with problems. Regular exercising, practicing yoga and
meditation strengthens abdominal muscles, colon and improves the bowel
movements. Avoid starchy foods as they lack bulk and stick to the walls of the
intestine and make motion difficult.
Drink enough water and keep yourself hydrated as water helps flush out
the toxins from the body.
Combat constipation naturally with high fiber foods, leading
an active life and an herbal laxative
to deal with this condition effectively and safely.
