This is a disorder which no one likes to talk about but causes so many Americans great discomfort. There are so many factors that influence regular bowel movements. Your diet, daily activities, and water intake have a huge influence in getting regular bowel movements. Fiber is curcial to good bowel health. It moves food through your digestive system, because it adds bulk to the waste in your intestines, and helps soften your stool. But if you have already implemented fiber then what?
Constipation can be a sign of inability to digest certain foods. Digestive enzymes can help break down food into small particles, so they can easily be digested. You might need a Probiotic- good bacteria to help break down particles and decrease bloating. If you can not take in the large amount of fiber required for good movements, you can take a fiber product with 8 grams of fiber in one teaspoon compared with 3 grams of Metamucil.
Last but not least, sometimes constipation can be related to food allergy or toxic overload. We consume lots of harmful substances from caffeine (Red Bull, coffee, and coke), Alcohol, Nicotine, medication, and damaged fats. These toxins threaten our health by damaging DNA. A well balanced Detox program to stimulate good bowel movements, and increase energy might be just what you need.
