1. For one week, eat red beets, sweet potatoes, and avocados daily, and eat beet greens every other day, being sure to rinse well after eating the beet greens which have a good amount of natural acid that tends to coat teeth.
2. Exercise for 30 to 45 minutes daily - anything that has you moving on your feet and working up a sweat. 3. Do gentle abdominal massage daily; begin in the right lower corner of your abdomen and work around in a full circle, following the lower border of your ribs from right to left, and working your way down to the lower left corner of your abdomen. 4. Drink 10 twelve-ounce cups of water daily (normally, I recommend relying on thirst to guide water-intake, especially if you are eating plenty of water-rich plant foods, but when treating constipation, I find it's helpful to increase intake of water to soften stool consistency and improve your gastrocolic response).
5. Stop taking your synthetic multi (synthetic calcium
and synthetic iron contribute to longer transit time within
your GI tract, resulting in harder stools).
6. Take 5 capsules of organic greens with probiotics twice daily.
These six measures are generally safe for anyone who is experiencing weak peristalsis and resulting constipation.
I'm not completely against colon hydrotherapy, as I have had clients who strongly feel that they have benefited from
having one done, but I think it makes sense to first try all
less-invasive measures like the ones noted above.
I can also suggest having the following soup regularly
It will help keep your colon and its contents optimally
hydrated, and will also nourish your body with easily digested protein, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, boron, and a plethora of health-enhancing phytonutrients like chlorophyll and carotenoids.
Colo-rectal cancer is quickly becoming one of the leading causes of death in first world nations, so you want to ensure that you are having regular and comfortable bowel movements, which are an excellent marker for how you are doing internally.
With best wishes,
