Are You Regular?

Are You Regular?
Right now, in big cities, small country towns and suburban
cul de sacs around the world, someone really needs to move
their bowels badly -- but they cannot.

Stress, bagels, resentment, pasta, anxiety, cheese,
hamburgers, doughnuts, ice cream and unforgiveness combine
to form mucoid ("moo-coyed") plaque -- a goopy, rubbery
black-green tar that coats the walls of our intestines,
diminishes your body's ability to absorb nutrients and
backs up your entire system.

Between 3-4 million Americans suffer from serious
constipation.

And many more yo-yo back and forth between constipation and
diarrhea on a regular basis.

Moving your bowels - "going number two", "using the little
girls room", "pinching a log" or "taking a dump" - should
be a natural, daily occurrence in the rhythm of life - The
same way the sun comes up in the morning and sets in the
evening.

Contrary to popular belief, the NUMBER of times you go a
day is not a deciding factor in determining if you are
constipated.

According to the Mayo Clinic: "It's normal for someone to
have anywhere from 3 bowel movements per week to three
bowel movements a day.

If your stools are soft and pass easily and you pass them
at least three times per week, you're not constipated."

Others believe differently. Dr. Lynn Hardy, N.D., C.N.C.,
director of the Global College of Natural Medicine says "if
you eat one meal a day you should have one bowel movement a
day later.

The "transit time" or how long it takes food to travel from
the moment you eat it to the moment you excrete it is a
determining factor of effects of constipation on your
health.

Even with one bowel movement per day, if you eat three
meals a day, there are at least two meals' worth of waste
sitting in the colon at any given time.

Regardless of whether you go once a day or once a week, the
tell-tale signs of constipation are pretty much the same:

=>dark, dry "pellet" like bowel movements;

=>constant straining and/or painful movements;

=>feeling bloated, gassy, uncomfortable and/or sluggish;

=>Skin eruptions; rashes;

=>halitosis or bad breath;

=>cloudy or discolored sclera (whites of the eyes); and/or

=>headaches

There are many fast, easy and inexpensive cures to "loosen
you up" without a trip the local proctologist or taking
expensive medication.

1) Salt Flush - Guaranteed to get things moving in 20
minutes or less. The salt flush has been used in fasting
regimens for over 50 years. It is totally safe, non-habit
forming and very effective.

Recipe: Mix 2 rounded teaspoons of sea salt (do not use
Kosher or Iodized table salt) with 1 quart (4 cups) warm
water.

Down it as quickly as possible. The salt water is the same
gravity as your blood, so it won't be absorbed into your
bloodstream.

Take smaller sips if you gag and/or pinch your nose closed
to cut the taste. It won't win any awards for taste, but
you will definitely need to reserve a spot in the nearest
bathroom for at least 1 hour after drinking it.

2) Add Fiber - in the form of more fruits and vegetables,
brown rice and or beans. Oranges and apples, in particular
have a natural "laxative" effect.

3) Take A Probiotic - Good bacteria or flora is essential
for proper assimilation of vitamins and nutrients from the
foods you eat.

Eating yogurt is pretty good, but most of the good bacteria
is digested by stomach enzymes long before it reaches your
large intestines.

A supplement like an enteric coated capsule protects the
good bacteria from stomach acids so it can reach your colon
and large intestines.

4) EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids) - From fish or seeds not
only affect growth, vitality and mental state. But omega
3, 6 and 9 also lubricate your intestinal tract, making it
easier to pass stools.

Even walking for just 10 minutes or more a day will begin
to move things along nicely.

5) Squat - Until the mid 1850's people squatted to move
their bowels. After an English cabinet maker and plumber
devised the modern toilet, squatting quickly became a thing
of the past.

Numerous studies have shown that regular use of the modern
toilet leaves major areas of the abdominal wall unsupported
as we bear down.

It is difficult to achieve a full evacuation. Since the
yellow pages has become virtually obsolete, stack a few in
front of the toilet (about 6-9 inches high) and rest your
feet on top.

6) Drink (More) Water - It can be such a challenge to drink
enough water. We're so busy with trying to get things done
during the course of our day, we forget to stop take a sip.

Carrying a refillable, reusable water bottle around with
you improves your chances of staying hydrated significantly.

With growing concerns about commercially bottled water and
the devastating effects of plastic on landfills and the
environment, polycarbonate or stainless steel bottles are
great alternatives.

Whatever your preference, keeping water handy at all times
makes all the difference.

7) Maintenance Colon Cleansing - The most effective,
comprehensive way to naturally cure constipation...and lose
weight, boost your energy and vitality, lower stress and
look younger all at once.

There are lots and lots of ways to cleanse your colon and
detoxify your body. Using a pre-formulated colon cleansing
kit offers the best value for your money and time.

You can choose from a 7 day kits up to 90 days. Some focus
on just your colon, while others cleanse your whole body
right down to the cellular level.

The most important benefit of colon cleansing is that it
pushes the reset button on your health.

The layers of hardened, toxic waste and mucoid plaque are
gently dissolved and eliminated.

Your insides are restored to their former, normal
functioning glory.

Any health regimen, weight loss plan or diet becomes that
much more effective once your body is free of the years of
built up waste.

Colon cleansing cures constipation. It'll make you regular
too. :-)

To your health and well-being,
