If staying regular is a struggle for you, here what I recommend...
1. Get checked for hypothyroidism, especially if you’re a woman over 40. Constipation is one of the hidden symptoms of hyopothyroidism. (But of course, it's not taking care of the cause – just giving you a name for what you have.)
2. Try squatting. This is the best, natural position to help expel stool from your colon and reduce your risk of hemorrhoids, and it’s still the way many people around the world go to the bathroom.
Place a small stool next to your toilet. This will elevate your knees. This will stimulate your intestinal contraction. Throughout history this is how man used to have a bowel movement.
3. Eat plenty of fiber-rich foods. Vegetables are sources of fiber. For added fiber to help normalize your stool, try whole organic flaxseeds. Grind the seeds in a coffee grinder, then add a tablespoon or two to your food.
You can also try organic psyllium. Psyllium is unique because it will help soften your stool if you’re constipated, or reduce frequency of your bowel movements if you have loose stools.
4. Exercise regularly. This helps stimulate circulation and intestinal function, causing your bowels to move properly. Do 'toe touches' and 'sit-ups'.
5. Take a high-quality probiotic. This helps to balance the good and bad bacteria in your gut, which is essential for proper digestive function. Probiotics are also useful in fighting IBS, which can contribute to constipation. To find out more about probiotics, click here.
6. Aloe vera and magnesium supplements can also be useful tools to speed up your bowel movements.
7. Head 'Nature's call'.
You can incorporate and you won't even know that your lifestyle had changed – that's the beautty of it.
