Berry Spinach Smoothie for Constipation Relief
Constipation Relief with a Blueberry Spinach Smoothie
Berry Spinach 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 this smoothie here, simply grab the ingredients and blend it up today. It was created specifically for constipation issues and has all the necessary ingredients that can help you get things moving along.
INGREDIENT BENEFITS
Blueberries – high in fiber, making them a great choice as a mild natural laxative
Raspberries – are a great source of fiber to help relieve constipation
Banana – contain soluable fiber that absorbs water and helps stools stay soft; ripe bananas help relieve constipation
Yogurt – with probiotics that contain live bacteria that’s good for your digestive system and can 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
