Constipation

Constipation is the number one symptom of colon dysfunction. According to experts, over 200 million Americans are constipated and many of them do not even know it.

Constipation results when waste material moves too slowly through the large bowel or colon, resulting in infrequent and/or painful elimination. In most cases, constipation arises from insufficient amounts of fiber and fluids in the diet.

The colon or large bowel is the holding tank for waste matter that should be removed within eighteen to twenty-four hours. Harmful toxins can form after this period. Antigens and toxins from bowel bacteria and undigested food particle may play a role in the development of diabetes mellitus, meningtis, myasthenia gravis, thyriod disease, candidiasis, chronic gas and bloating, migraines, fatigue and ulcerative colitis.

The frequency of "normal" bowel movements depends on the individual and can vary from three times a day to three times a week. In a scientific experiment, the National Chiropractic Association performed 2,100 autopsies. They concluded that the average person is carrying around 5 to 40 pounds of impacted fecal matter in their colon.

How is possible?
According to some experts, we are supposed to eliminate after EVERY meal.
Lets say we eat three meals per day and only eliminated once each day, what happens to the other two meals?
As a result, autointoxication or self-poisoning takes place. The digestive system doesn't work properly. Food begins to break down without being eliminated. Proteins putrefy and rot, carbohydrates ferment, and oils and fats turn rancid. In other words, we become sick from our own body waste.

Following are some food for thought:
Are you aware we would have missed the following number of eliminations having three meals and only eliminating once each day?

  • In one week - 14
  • In one month - 56
  • In six months - 364
  • In one year - 728
  • In five years - 3,640
  • In ten years - 7,280
    How old are you? You can do the math.

    While constipation is not a disease in itself, it can give rise to many different ailments, including bad breath, body odor, fatigue, gas, headaches, asthma, allergies, breast disease, prostate trouble, hemorrhoids (piles), hernia, indigestion, varicose veins, obesity, malabsorption syndrome, and appendicitis. It may also be involved in the development of serious diseases such as bowel or colon cancer.


    Diet Recommendations for Constipation:

    • Eat LOTS of high-fiber foods (such as green leafy vegetables, beans, carrots, and whole grains).
    • Drink lots of good water especially distilled water.
