Top 4 Simple and Effective Constipation Cures

Digestive and bowel problems, especially constipation, are quite possibly one of the modern world's most common problem.  This doesn't need to be the case.  What we have with constipation is actually more of a problem with lifestyle, than actual pathology within the body.  Our pathological lifestyles have led to the problem and the cure lies with fixing our lifestyle.  When we address some key lifestyle areas we see wonderful changes with constipation.  Let's look at four key "remedies" that are actually all part of a healthy lifestyle.

1.       Water.  Most people are low grade chronically dehydrated.  We need water to properly form a stool that moves regularly and easily.  Have you ever tried to flush a toilet without water?  The analogy holds true with the human body.  Drink 2.5 to 3 litres of spring water per day and reap the many benefits of being properly hydrated that include constipation.

2.       Magnesium.  Statistically we know that magnesium deficiency is a problem.  Only about 25 percent of US adults are getting the recommended daily amount of magnesium (and even that may not be enough) According to mercola.com "magnesium deficiency may trigger 22 medical conditions, from anxiety to diabetes, and early signs of magnesium deficiency include loss of appetite, headache, nausea, fatigue, and weakness"  Magnesium citrate helps relax bowel spasms and has an osmotic effect on the stool meaning it pulls water into it helping to pass the stool.  It works.

3.       GB3.  GB3 is a an excellent digestive aid because of its content of pancreatin and ox bile, primarily, which are digestive enzymes.  It also helps to digest candida organisms, parasites, bacteria and debris in the intestines and the net effect of this is increased bowel movements and the symptomatic improvement in constipation.

4.       Near infrared Saunas.  When we think of our stressful pathological lifestyles and how they contribute to constipation the regular daily use of a near infrared sauna starts to make sense.  Most of us have overactive fight/flight stress responses happening and we need to shift from the sympathetic nervous system to the healthy relaxing and healing parasympathetic nervous system.  This is what the sauna does.  This helps with MANY health conditions and helps constipation significantly as elimination of the stool is a parasympathetic activity.  If it's being shut down by an overactive sympathetic system we are in trouble.  This is, in my opinion, the most important reason for constipation: chronic stress and the sauna is a key tool in that battle.
