CONSTIPATION AND ARTHRITIS: A PROGRAM TO CONQUER CONSTIPATION October 19, 2009

Here is a seven-point, do-it-yourself program to solve your constipation problem forever?the natural way.
1. Eat plenty of raw fruits and vegetables. Eat several pieces of any available raw fruit and a big bowl of fresh green vegetable salad every day. Chew all your foods well
Avoid constipating foods: meat, white bread, processed cereals, refined carbohydrates (such as sugar, cakes, candies, ice cream, and such).
Eat soaked prunes (six to ten) with your breakfast. A bowl of yogurt with half a dozen prunes, two tablespoons of wheat germ, and one tablespoon of bran is a royal dish to start your day with. Do not cook prunes, just wash them well, put them in a cup of warm water and soak them overnight. Important: be sure to drink the water in which the prunes were soaked!
Supplement your diet with brewer’s yeast, whey powder, honey, and yogurt-all natural laxatives.
Exercise! Walk, swim, ride, dance, play golf?anything at all, but exercise! Lack of sufficient exercise-physical inactivity?is one of the main causes of constipation. Plain walking is one of the best forms of exercise. Start with an hour’s walking a day!
Consume plenty of liquids: water, juice (unsweetened only), broth, soups-six to eight glasses a day.
Never suppress nature’s call! Try immediately upon arising and again before retiring to establish a habit of bowel movements. Be careful not to overstrain?just relax and wait, if needed up to ten to 15 minutes. This will eventually result in a well-established routine.
If you follow this seven-point program conscientiously, you can safely throw away all your laxatives. You will never need them again, unless you are already a pathological case with a completely atrophied and degenerated eliminative system. Then you will need a prolonged program of fasting, enemas, special diets, exercises, and other biological treatments under the careful supervision of an understanding practitioner. But even the most obstinate types of constipation can be overcome if proper biological treatments, fortified with patience and steadfastness, are applied.
