Prune Smoothie For Constipation Relief
Constipation relief with a Prune Smoothie
Strawberry, Blueberry Smoothie for Constipation. Are you one of the 17% of the population suffering from constipation? It’s uncomfortable, you’re experiencing cramps, you feel bloated and gassy. And yes, you can easily take a laxative as a safe remedy. But if constipation occurs regularly and you’re still relying on laxatives, these laxatives can lead to some really bad health issues as they cause electrolyte disturbances, dehydration and mineral deficiencies. And if they’re used long-term, they can do permanent damage to the digestive system.
So knowing this, why not try a daily drink that contains FIBER, SORBITOL AND WATER – all of which can help relieve constipation and can help to get you regular.
FIBER helps with regular bowel function: SOLUABLE FIBER which absorbs water and makes stools softer and INSOLUABLE FIBER which does not absorb water but helps move waste material through the bowels.
SORBITOL – a sugar alcohol that brings water into the large intestine, helps make loose stools making it easier to move through the digestive tract.
WATER – to prevent dehydration and helps to keep food waste soft and moving easily through your digestive system.
And now that you’ve discovered the smoothies and juices highlighted here, simply pick one and blend or juice it up today. They were created specifically for constipation issues and have all the necessary ingredients that can help you get things moving along.
Prunes – may be the most accessible natural solution for constipation; they contain fiber and sorbitol – a sugar alcohol that has a laxative effect
Apple – are loaded with pectin fiber, which has an amphoteric action that can provide relief from both constipation and diarrhea
Yogurt – with probiotics that contain live bacteria that’s good for your digestive system and can help relieve constipation.
Cinnamon – provides an antispasmodic effect and thus, prevents gaseous formations in your stomach; also eases indigestion
Nutmeg – helps in the secretion of digestive enzymes, bringing about relief, and the fiber content will help in bowel movement
