Herbal therapy for constipation - Laxatives, Fiber, Colon Cleanse, Cleansing, Fecal Impaction, Cleanse your sluggish colon! - Constipation Remedies
As food moves through the colon, it absorbs water while forming waste products, or stool. Muscle contractions in the colon push the stool toward the rectum. By the time stool reaches the rectum, it is solid because most of the water has been absorbed.
The hard and dry stools of constipation occur when the colon absorbs too much water or if the colon's muscle contractions are slow or sluggish, causing the stool to move through the colon too slowly.
A sluggish colon can release toxins into the blood stream. This can contribute to a wide range of diseases. Constipation is often the first sign that our bowel is not functioning properly.
Colon Cleansing often is the best option to eliminate constipation and restore the digestive system to full functioning and health.
Common causes of constipation are:
- not enough fiber in the diet
- not enough liquids
- lack of exercise
- medications
- ignoring the urge to have a bowel movement
In the United States, constipation results in more than 2.5 million visits to physicians and 92,000 hospitalizations. The medical term is known as fecal impaction and it is more common with obese and older people.
Cancer affecting the colon and/or rectum is diagnosed in more than 140,000 Americans each year. About one in nine cases affect people younger than 50, or up to about 15,000 young people annually.
The most common cause of constipation is a diet low in fiber found in vegetables, fruits, and whole grains and high in fats found in cheese, eggs, and meats. People who eat plenty of high-fiber foods are less likely to become constipated.
Fiber, both soluble and insoluble, is the part of fruits, vegetables, and grains that the body cannot digest. Soluble fiber dissolves easily in water and takes on a soft, gel-like texture in the intestines. Insoluble fiber passes through the intestines almost unchanged. The bulk and soft texture of fiber help prevent hard, dry stools that are difficult to pass. Americans eat an average of 5 to 14 grams of fiber daily, short of the 20 to 35 grams recommended. Both children and adults eat too many refined and processed foods from which the natural fiber has been removed.
A low-fiber diet also plays a key role in constipation among older adults, who may lose interest in eating and choose convenience foods low in fiber. In addition, difficulties with chewing or swallowing may force older people to eat soft foods that are processed and low in fiber.
A diet rich in fiber and vegetables lowered cholesterol just as much as taking a statin drug, Canadian researchers reported on February 7, 2005. They said people who cannot tolerate the statin drugs because of side-effects can turn to a high fiber diet, which they said their volunteers could easily follow.
Liquids like water and juice add fluid to the colon and bulk to stools, making bowel movements softer and easier to pass. People who have problems with constipation should drink enough of these liquids every day, about eight 8-ounce glasses.
Some medications can cause constipation
- pain medications (especially narcotics)
- antacids that contain aluminum and calcium
- blood pressure medications (calcium channel blockers)
- antidepressants
People who ignore the urge to have a bowel movement may eventually stop feeling the urge, which can lead to constipation. Some people delay having a bowel movement because they do not want to use toilets outside the home. Others ignore the urge because of emotional stress or because they are too busy. A toxic colon over time can kill you.
Fiber Cleanse Constipation Formula
Fiber Cleanse is a unique blend of soluble and insoluble fiber from Psyllium Hulls and Psyllium Seeds, plus the added benefit of oat bran, apple fiber, slippery elm and bentonite. Two new studies show that a high fiber diet dramatically slashes colon and breast cancer risk.
Pre-menopausal women who eat large amounts of fiber could cut their breast cancer risk in half, according to a 2007 UK study.
The University of Leeds researchers, who studied 35,000 women, found those who ate 30g of fiber a day had half the risk of those who ate less than 20g.
