Relieving Constipation with Cures & Home Remedies

insides of the body Relieving constipation can be surprisingly easy even if you've struggled with it for a long time.

Constipations basically means that you have hard and dry stools that are difficult to eliminate.

This often leads to having less than the ideal 1-3 bowel movements per day.

Special cures and home remedies can provide relief and are often sold by herbalists.

But the biggest cause of constipation is the food you put in your mouth.

This naturally leads us to the fact that the best cure for constipation is:

A Healthy Diet (Fruits, Vegetables and Plenty of Fiber)
Regular Exercise
Plenty of Water

If you still aren't sure if you're constipated, here are the most common symptoms:

Difficult or Painful Bowel Movements
No Bowel Movement For Over 3 Days
Dry and Hard Feces
Excessive Straining
Bloating
Swollen Abdomen
Feeling Sluggish
Flatulence

And the most common causes:

Calcium
Inadequate Fiber Intake
Inadequate Water
Not Enough Exercise
Ignoring the Urge to Have a Bowel Movement
Poor Diet
Pregnancy

Alright, now that we've got that out of the way, let's look at how you can start relieving constipation symptoms with some basic cures.

First you have to think about what you're eating. Are you eating a lot of unhealthy food and liquids like:

Hamburgers
Pizza
Sodas
Processed Pasta
White Bread
Deep-Fried Food
Fast Food
Dairy
Meat

You get the point ;-)

Start by minimizing the items above and similar foods and see what happens.

At the same time start adding healthier and high fiber foods to your diet.

Here are the best foods that relieve constipation:

All Fruits
All Vegetables
Nuts & Seeds (In Moderation)
Legumes
Rice
Oats
Rye

It's really that easy. If you're having trouble with constipation then remove the bad foods and add the good foods.

Oh, and don't forget water! Try to drink lots of pure clean water, up to 2-3 liters is good, that is 60-100 ounces each and every day!

It can take awhile for your body and tastebuds to get used to the healthier foods, especially if you've been eating more of the bad kind for awhile.

I know I've had periods where I ate a less than healthy diet, each time I got a reminder from my body telling me that something is wrong and each time I had to switch back to a more healthier and balanced diet.

Eating healthy doesn't have to be boring, it's easy to think that way.

For example oatmeal can taste great with a bit of cinnamon, honey and berries, maybe even some rice milk! Yumm... :)
