New Year

Happy New Year!  I assume your new resolutions have been made?  Kicking the year off with a glass of red wine, all the best for you this year…..I will kick off fyi.

poop-overload

if you’re constipated a few days and need something, why not mix a few ingredients?  try a glass of prune juice, eat an apple drink a glass of tomato juice then prune again.  this should move you.

help… I can’t poop

if you are having a hard time with your fiber, most people do. Try high fiber cereal to start your day, you can get up to 5 grams easy.  It is the best you can do…..?

Some Reasons You Can’t Poop

#1 Not eating enough fiber, aim at 20 grams daily unless you’re heavy than more.
#2 You’re dehydrated. Drink more around 2 liters daily of fluids.
#3 You’re taking drugs. Some drugs can give you constipation if prescribed talk with your doctor.
#4 Hooked on laxatives. Taking it once in a while is ok but relying on them makes your colon lazy.
#5 Movement. Movement help’s the intestines move your food. Go for brief walks or exercise, make it a habit.

Eat more fruit, vegetables and just drink more. Very easy solutions but if needed get laxatives that don’t make your stomach lazy.
