Natural Remedies for Constipation November 1, 2022Health News0 Comments

Are you a Type 1 or 2 on the Bristol Stool Chart?

Set the foundation:

Eat a Real Food Diet – Check out my book, The Reclaim Diet. 

Water

• The most important thing is to drink a lot of water – 8 glasses a day – to keep things moving.
• Measure your water intake for a few days and see if you are drinking half your body weight in ounces of water (for example, if you weight 150 pounds, try to drink 75 ounces of water each day).
• Start the day with fresh lemon squeezed in water or add 1 – 3 tsp of raw apple cider vinegar to a glass of water 30 minutes before you eat.
• Try the Water Challenge

Magnesium 

• Take Magnesium glycinate with magnesium citrate (not magnesium oxide) at bedtime.
• Try three or four capsules (300 – 400mg) at bedtime to start. Increase by one capsule each night until your reach the desired effect!
• Get a 15% discount on Magnesium supplements (try Mg Plus Guard, Item #: MAG34)

Buffered Vitamin C

• I prefer Super C™ Chewable Tablets
• Having Vitamin C  with Mg Plus Guard in the morning is very helpful.

Flax seeds or chia seeds

• 1 tablespoon of flax or chia seed in a cup of hot water
• Wait about 15 minutes until the waters cools.
• Drink the water with the seeds, do this once a day.
