Natural Constipation Cure|Healthy and Natural Ways to Cure Constipation

Chronic constipation can leave you feeling miserable and bloated, but you don’t have to just accept it. Small changes in your routine and/or diet can go a long way towards relieving chronic constipation, which is more often than not more about lifestyle issues than digestive tract problems.

The following treatments for chronic constipation have been used successfully:

• Eat dairy products with pro-biotic cultures. Pasteurization kills off most of the friendly bacteria that live in the digestive tract and aid in health elimination. Try adding pro-biotic yogurt or cheese to your daily diet for three weeks.
• Eat more fiber. Avoid refined starch and fat (found in fast food and snacks) and take in more liquid and fiber (found in fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains). Aim for 27 grams of fiber each day.
• Drink more water. Drinking at least eight 8-ounce glasses and adding lemon juice or honey to some of it will help you to move your bowels.
• Exercise at least 30 minutes each day. One of the best treatments for chronic constipation is to take a hot drink (hot water with lemon, coffee, or if you dislike both, a glass of prune juice) each morning and then follow that up with a brisk walk or jog before eating a high fiber breakfast.
• Take time in the bathroom. Many people are chronically rushed and don’t take the time they need for proper elimination until it becomes a problem.

Chronic constipation is usually the result of bad habits that build up over time until they create a problem. The good news is that a bad habit can always be replaced with a good habit. Healthy diet and exercise habits can cure chronic constipation for good!
