Eating Right for Constipation Relief
We all know our mothers were right when they told us to eat our greens when we were kids. Yet, time, work, and access to burger and pizza joints only served to make us forget that natural constipation relief taught to us by our mamas.
How our bodies work has not changed however. And after many constipated days and years, we may find ourselves spending a fortune just to hear our doctors tell us the same thing: “Eat your greens!”
Try the following tips for faster and more effective 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.
Try the lemon squeeze. Every morning, squeeze a lemon into a hot cup of water with a pinch of salt. Drink daily to keep it moving.
