Constipation is a condition where the fecal matter is so dry and
tightly packed in the colon that bowel movements are infrequent,
incomplete, and the sufferer would experience difficulty in
eliminating very little, dry, and hard stools. Bowel movements are
usually strenuous, and there is a constant feeling of fullness or
bloating.
It is not uncommon nowadays for the doctor to tell a patient that
“It’s ok to move your bowels only once a week. That is probably
normal for you. ” What complete ignorance! Bowel movements
should be as frequent as you have a meal. Elimination should be
complete, fast and easy.
If bowel movements occur only once in every few days, and you
have to strain for a long time to eliminate, eliminating black hard
pebbles that drop right to the bottom of the toilet bowl, then this is
definitely serious trouble waiting to happen.

Constipation is not a disease. It is a symptom of a poor health
condition. Most people, especially those from the city, have
constipation. This is the result of eating too much processed
foods that are lacking in fiber, and insufficient fresh foods that are
full of live nutrients and enzymes .
If left untreated, constipation can lead to other more serious health
conditions. Our colons are like the sewage system. Imagine that
your toilet plumbing gets clogged up. When you flush it, there will
be an overflow. If you don’t fix the clogging, the wastes will be all
over your toilet floor and soon the whole house will stink and you
will be living in a very unhealthy environment.
Likewise, when unwanted wastes and deposits are clogged up in
your colon and unable to be eliminated, they will begin to rot
inside. If these are not flushed out, it becomes a toxic overload
and a breeding ground for billions of parasites and bacteria.
Numerous health conditions will surface if this is not addressed
quickly with a change in dietary and lifestyle. This is one of the
causes of colon cancer.
Symptoms of Constipation
As I mentioned above, constipation is a symptom. But there are
also other symptoms that arises from this symptom, creating a
whole lot of too many other problems.
Some of these symptoms are: aching joints, allergies, backaches,
bad breath, body itchiness or skin problems, obesity, persistent
headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, overweight, poor skin, poor
memory and excessive mucus (nasal congestion and in the
throat).
Even the immune system will be weak. Constipation sufferers are
often prone to catch colds, flu and other viral infections easily.
And when they catch these, it will usually take them a much longer
time to recover than necessary.
In more severe cases, and this often happens when constipation is
not rectified by a dietary and lifestyle change, it can lead to “leaky
gut syndrome“. This is a condition where waste materials have
accumulated over many years and has become auto-intoxicating.
Toxins from the colon gets reabsorbed and circulated back into the
bloodstream. These toxins can damage the liver, lung and kidney.
A person with this condition will constantly feel tired, has low
immune system and feels weak all the time. They are also often
good candidates for parasites and Candida overgrowth that in turn
cause a host of many other health problems, even cancer.

Causes of Constipation
The most common cause of constipation is not drinking enough
water AND a poor diet—a diet low in fiber and/or a diet high in fats
and carbohydrates and too much processed foods. Processed
foods are any foods that no longer looks like its original state. You
recognize them by their beautiful packaging on the supermart
shelves with long shelf life. See also the Harmful Foods page .
A lot of the time, constipation are also a result of either an
intestinal tract condition, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS),
diverticulitis, candida or a more common condition like
dehydration.
It can also be caused by medication or other health problems such
as anemia, bloating, colic, depression, diarrhea (yes,
paradoxically!), insomnia, or vertigo.
Often, use of laxatives may provide temporary relief. But overuse
of laxatives will lead to increased constipation because the
digestive tract becomes dependent and cease doing what it should
naturally be doing.

Diet
Your fiber intake should be more of the insoluble type which is
abundant in vegetables, wheat bran cereals and whole grain
foods. Although for some this might cause bloating. Introduce the
fiber in small amounts, gradually, and together with drinking LOTS
of water. Soluble fiber found in oats and a variety of fruits will
also help promote bowel movements.
Reduce intake of animal protein, dairy products and processed
foods. Avoid over-the-counter laxatives. Indulge instead, in
natural laxatives that are abundant in fresh fruits and vegetables.
Consult your doctor and work with him to cut back on drugs that
may contribute to your constipation.
On top of your dietary change, be sure to take up regular aerobic
(endurance) exercise. This could be walking, swimming, jogging,
or bicycling—leg movements that will help the peristalsis
movement in the colon and digestive tract.
If you have chronic constipation, consider going on a juice fast to
let your digestive tract a much needed rest from processing more
food. Drink at least 10 to 12 glasses of 8-oz water daily, adding 1
teaspoon of apple cider vinegar with 1 teaspoon raw honey into
your water, four times a day. Fresh juices can provide the much
needed enzymes that can help with digestion and elimination of
waste material with its natural laxative effects.
Other suggested foods: peas, oatbran, oatmeal, figs, barley,
prunes, dried legumes, beans, lentils, barley, dried fruits, berries,
nuts and leafy green vegetables.
Caution: A high-fiber diet may produce gas, stomach cramps and
other intestinal discomforts. Introduce fiber in small amounts, and
gradually increasing. Drink plenty of water during this time, to help
the fiber eliminate old fecal matter easier.
