Moving in to the New Year Smoothly
This blurb might sound like I'm going to talk about preventing colds and flus, New Year's resolutions, or making sure your holidays aren't stressful. I am actually talking about preventing and treating constipation...which DOES cover cold and flu prevention, keeping New Year's resolutions and making sure stress doesn't affect your body adversely.
You already know that regular bowel movements are important (1-3/day, banana shaped and size and consistency, and medium brown in color). Your body is trying to rid itself of unwanted toxins. It's important you don't store those toxins. Storing your bowel contents can lead to a host of problems in many areas of health and vitality including skin, energy, brain function, appetite and digestion, eye health, immunity, fertility, hormone regulation, mood, and so much more. However, did you know that there are some reasons this doesn't happen the way it should that are not always obvious? Here are some reasons we don't eliminate regularly that are not always linked to constipation:
- Thyroid sluggishness
- Pain medications
- Chocolate (gasp!)
- Calcium and iron
- Laxative over-use
- Dairy
- Anti-depressants
- Food sensitivities
- Depression
- Antacids
- Blood pressure and allergy medications
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth
- Yeast overgrowth
- Childbirth
- Diabetes and neurological conditions
- Holding onto your emotional pain (your crap)
Of course being dehydrated and eating a low fiber diet are the obvious problems that I didn't list because they are the first ones people think of. If drinking more water and increasing your soluble and insoluble fiber (15 gms of each kind daily) doesn't' do it then come and get checked for thyroid function and do a stool test and food sensitivity panel. Constipation isn't "normal". It's not, as most western medicine providers say, "fine if you've always been that way". Colon hydrotherapy is a miracle in my mind. It "pressure washes" the intestinal wall to remove mucoid plaques and bio-films of nasty bacteria and yeast and parasites and helps the natural peristalsis of the intestinal tract tone and improve. It's great for healthy skin weight control (by keeping healthy microflora flourishing), and by keeping the microflora balance healthy it helps with mood control too.
We have recently revamped the colon hydrotherapy program here at Fern Life. For details click here
Here's to smooth movements!
