Apple and Orange Smoothie to Help With Constipation

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.

Apple – are loaded with pectin fiber, which has an amphoteric action that can provide relief from both constipation and diarrhea
Orange – are full of of stool-softening Vitamin C, fibers to increase the bulk in your stool, and naringenin, a flavonoid that can also work like a laxative.
Strawberries – are rich in fiber, which is used to increase the bulk of your stool and helps the food to move smoothly through your digestive system
Pineapple – is very good for constipation as it provides both fluids and water that can help the stool pass through; also has an enzyme called bromelain which helps in improving the bowel function and controlling regularity
Oatmeal – 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
