Prune Juice Smoothie – Great For Constipation Relief

Constipation Relief with a Prune Juice 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.

Coconut Milk – may have a laxative effect; others claim it may increase metabolism and help food pass more quickly through the body
Prune Juice – may be the most accessible natural solution for constipation; they contain fiber and sorbitol – a sugar alcohol that has a laxative effect
Kale – is packed with nutrients including fiber, magnesium to help the colon contract, and potassium which helps regulate fluid balance and muscle contractions
Berries – full of fiber which helps relieve constipation
Flaxseed – is a great source of fiber, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids, and both soluable and insoluble fiber
Probiotics – can restore and improve gastrointestinal health making them an excellent addition to a healthy diet to improve bowel regularity
