Запор: что это, проблема ли это, и как помочь себе

Constipation. What is it? Is it a problem? And what can you do to help yourself? Dr. Kellogg, very famous doctor from the late 1800s, early 1900s, he said three intakes of food a day should equal three evacuations a day. He claims that if you eat three meals a day and go once a day, you're constipated. I know people that go every second day, some every third day, one lady once a week, that's severe constipation. You know, your kitchen wouldn't be too well if you didn't empty the rubbish every day. So the waste must come out of the body and it must come out regularly. And our colon's got a mind of its own. If you tell it what to do, it won't. It needs gentle stimulation. How do you gently stimulate the colon? You gently stimulate the colon by exercising every day. By drinking adequate water, at least eight glasses a day. Also eating fibre. All refined food and meat have no fibre at all. We need to be eating an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables. They all have fibre. And what fibre does, you see, these foods are high in insoluble fibre. An insoluble fibre is the fibre that reaches down to the colon and it gently stimulates peristalsis and also sweeps out all those little corners in the colon. But what if you're doing all that and you're still not going regularly? Well, in my book, Sustain Me, I have a chapter on the colon and I have a herb tea mix in there. We call it colon tea. And those herbs gently stimulate peristalsis. They don't irritate the gut. Many medical medications to get the bowels working irritate the colon. No, these herbs don't.

Remember herbs work with the body. Also, a very simple thing you can do is you can mix a third of a cup of chia seed and three cups of water and shake it together in a jar until it goes like a soft jelly. Half a cup of that every meal and you'll find regularity will return.
