Grape Berry Smoothie – Effective for Constipation and Bloating
A Great Smoothie For Bloating and Constipation Relief
Grape Berry Smoothie – Effective for Constipation and Bloating. 17% of the population suffers from constipation. It’s uncomfortable, you’re experiencing cramps, you feel bloated and gassy. Instead of reaching for an over the counter laxative, which if used long-term will cause permanent damage to your digestive system, make yourself 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.
Here’s where this Grape Berry Smoothie comes in as it was created specifically for constipation issues and has all the necessary ingredients that can help you get things moving along. Grab the ingredients below and blend this one up today. And if you really want an extra boost – add a 1/2 c Prune Juice to the Smoothie – trust me, it’ll work !!
