Easy Green Constipation Corrector

An All Natural Easy Green Constipation Corrector Smoothie.  So why do people get constipated?  Constipation most commonly occurs when waste or stool moves too slowly through the digestive tract or cannot be eliminated effectively from the rectum, which may cause the stool to become hard and dry. Constipation can occur because of a poor diet (eating too much junk food can wreak havoc on your digestive health),  an inactive lifestyle (lack of exercise), changes in your normal routine (traveling), newly prescribed medication, and overall health conditions.

Make sure you call your doctor if you have severe pain, blood in your stools, or constipation that lasts longer than three weeks.

So how can constipation be corrected at home with natural foods?  A lot of questions have been asked about constipation, so let’s address these:

Top 5 Questions On Constipation – Cause and Cures

What helps constipation when laxatives don’t work?
Try drinking warm liquids, especially in the morning, to  help unblock your stools.  Also try exercising as physical activity can increase the muscle activity in your intestines, helping move things along easier and faster.

What should I eat to avoid constipation?
To prevent constipation, avoid foods that can make it worse, for example, bananas, gluten, caffeine, alcohol, and chewing gum

Should I keep eating if constipated?
Eat more high-fiber foods, such as whole-grain breads and cereals, beans, fresh raw vegetables, fresh raw fruits or cooked fruits with the peel on, dried fruits, dates, apricots, prunes, popcorn, seeds, and nuts. Fiber isn’t digested by the body, so it moves through and is excreted

Which foods are good for constipation?
As mentioned above, best foods to eat when constipated are fruits: Berries, peaches, apricots, plums, raisins, rhubarb, and prunes are some of the best high-fiber fruits; and whole grain foods which provide more fiber.  Try to steer away from white flour and white rice.

Which juice is good for constipation?
Prune juice. The most popular juice to relieve constipation is prune juice.
Apple juice. Apple juice may provide you with a very gentle laxative effect.
Pear juice. Another great option is pear juice, which contains four times more sorbitol than apple juice.
