Cherry and Pomegranate Smoothie for Constipation Relief

High Fiber Smoothie for Constipation Relief

Cherry and Pomegranate Smoothie for Constipation Relief. 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.

Cherries – a good source of fiber which is important for your digestive system
Pomegranate – consists of insoluble fiber which increases intenstinal activity
Banana – contain soluable fiber that absorbs water and helps stools stay soft; ripe bananas help relieve constipation
Avocado – are high in fiber and magnesium to help pull water back into your intestines to keep empty your bowels easier
Broccoli – contains sulforaphane, a substance that may protect the gut and ease digestion and also helps to prevent the overgrowth of some intestinal microorganisms that can interfere with healthy digestion
Flaxseed – is a great source of fiber, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids, and both soluable and insoluble fiber
