Berries and Banana Smoothie for Constipation Relief
Constipation Relief Smoothie – Berries and Banana’s
Berries and Banana 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.
Banana – contain soluable fiber that absorbs water and helps stools stay soft; ripe bananas help relieve constipation
Berries – full of fiber which helps relieve constipation
Oats – are loaded with insoluble fiber which adds bulk to stool and helps food pass more quickly through the stomach and intestines, and soluble fiber which dissolves in water and forms a gel-like material
Almond Milk – is an excellent source of proteins and healthy fats; packed with fiber to help ease constipation
Flaxseed – is a great source of fiber, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids, and both soluable and insoluble fiber
Sunflower Seeds – provides fiber that may provide laxative benefits, however the phytic acid in these seeds may interfere with the absorption of minerals – so only indulge in a few
