Eating Right for Constipation Relief
July 3rd, 2008 Keeping constipation at bay is similar to keeping a fit and healthy body. You have to work for it. Constipation relief comes only when there is enough roughage on your plate and you’re taking in food with enough water content to hydrate your body, your stomach, and your colon.
Try the following tips for faster and more effective constipation relief.
Load up on grains. Whole wheat products, oats, and rye among others are your best sources of fiber.
Get the green leafy. Remember your mama and how she used to force down those veggies down your throat. Well, you may now have to force them down your throat if you know what constipation relief is good for you.
Go on dates. Before going to bed, soak some figs, raisins, and dates in water or fruit juice and eat them in the morning for a liberating constipation relief.
Drink up. Make sure you gulp down enough water daily. Some dieticians recommend at least 8 glasses. But if your diet is filled with meat and processed foods, you might have to double that one.
