Dietary & Lifestyle Improvements:
Avoid hard all foods that are hard to digest (especially red meat and commercial dairy). Avoid refined carbohydrates such as white flour foods (bread, pasta, cookies, bagels, crackers, etc.) -- they are often the big culprits that create insulin resistance, which further complicates constipation. Avoid white sugar, table salt, fried foods, soft drinks (all of which acidifies the bloodstream creating a perfect environment for parasites to breed and multiply). Increase your intake of natural fiber by eating more fresh fruits and vegetables (we highly recommend that you consume fresh servings of MBC™ juices and broths daily. This is by far the most efficient way to flood every cell in your body with proper nourishment so as to effectively cleanse your body of toxic matter and very naturally overcome constipation; we suggest that you explore our ‘Garden Fresh To You’ bundle selections to get yourself started). Consume more cultured foods that are naturally high in natural probiotics and enzymes. Engage in regular exercises that you enjoy with a minimum frequency of 3 to 4 times per week to keep your colon rhythms healthy; daily sunlight exposure (20 min/day) is very helpful as well.
Bible Nugget/s To Chew On:
*If you are a Christian, may this verse/s help you as they've helped us:
“Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 4:4-7
There is a cause and effect relationship between unresolved anger and constipation. Un-forgiveness and resentment do cause constipation. One overlooked thing by many that truly helps is simply to enjoy your life and count our blessings. Start by meditating on these verses:
"Rejoice always” - 1 Thessalonians 5:16
"A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones." - Proverbs 17:22
“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you” - Philippians 4:8-9
