Avocado Green Smoothie to Help with Constipation
Constipation Relief with an Avocado Green Smoothie
Avocado Green Smoothie to Help with 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.
Avocado – are high in fiber and magnesium to help pull water back into your intestines to keep empty your bowels easier
Pear – contain several compounds that improve digestion including fiber, sorbitol, and fructose; they also contain high levels of water which can help to ease digestion and prevent constipation
Banana – contain soluable fiber that absorbs water and helps stools stay soft; ripe bananas help relieve constipation
Coconut Milk – may have a laxative effect; others claim it may increase metabolism and help food pass more quickly through the body
Spinach – helps add bulk and weight to stools, which makes them easier to pass through the gut; is high in both fiber and magnesium, both of which help the colon flush things through
