3 Easy Tips To Relieve Constipation Today

Does “toilet talk” make you all nervous because you keep struggling with your bowel movements?

You’re definitely not alone!

In fact, tons and tons of people struggle with this every single day.

I suffered from digestive problems most of my life, not knowing why. It all came to a head after I was in agony trying to ride my bike to work. I was MISERABLE! So I went to the store and bought all kinds of supplements thinking, ‘NOW, I will solve the problem!’ Guess what? It didn’t work.

Thankfully, after changing my diet, my digestive problems went away in just a couple of weeks. I can’t believe it was that easy!

Here are three simple tips that I learned:

WATER, WATER, WATER

Did you know that up to 75% of Americans are dehydrated?

The problem is much more prevalent than most of us realize.

Water is needed to help the food pass through the small and large intestine, along with the colon and rectum, as it can take up to 24 hours for food to pass from the mouth to the anus.

In the intestine alone, one gallon of fluids is absorbed daily to help with digestion. In the colon alone, 5 to 10 pounds of fecal matter can be stored because of dehydration caused by lack of water.

EXERCISE

Moving your body every day is key to daily bowel movements.

What is the best kind of exercise to do? The one you will get done on a daily basis!

You don’t have to do a ‘killer’ workout every day for it to be considered exercise; just get up and MOVE. Outside is ideal, but just get it done!

Getting 20 to 30 minutes of continuous movement will help move your bowels. Exercise is even more important during long periods of sitting, such as commutes, trips, sedentary desk jobs, and screen time. Write it into your daily schedule and your daily bowel movement will follow closely behind!

LOTS OF FRESH FRUITS AND VEGGIES
Changing your diet to incorporate 50% to 75% fresh fruits and veggies will radically change your daily elimination habits, as they add fiber to your diet.

This is the change that really made all the difference for me. Fruits and veggies are also very high in water, so just changing your diet will hydrate your body much more than just drinking water alone as the quality of the water in fruit and veggies is so much higher.

Eating this way will also give you so much energy that you’ll actually WANT to exercise more.

When planning meals, plan your veggies and fruits first, and then add the carbs and protein.

For instance, at lunch, fill your plate with a beautiful, BIG salad as the “mattress” for the rest of your meal. Experiment with a new veggie or fruit frequently. Eat seasonally and experience the most nutrition for your body.

Look for local farmers’ markets to buy the fresh and local produce. And, of course, organic is best if it is an option.

Incorporate these three tips into your daily routine and your body will be a well-oiled machine in no time! Oh yes, and speaking of oil, one more tip: 1 to 2 tablespoons of coconut oil right off the spoon will lube your system like a well-tuned motor! You will be feeling lighter, more energetic, and less bloated in no time at all!

I understand how hard it is to start building your meals around fruits and veggies when you’ve never done that before and that’s why I developed The Leaf System meal planning system.

Hi Katherine,
I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.
I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!
I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!
I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.
I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.
I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.
I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!
What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.

I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan! Thankful Stephanie
