More Vegetable Constipation Remedies

Here are more constipation remedies using vegetables. Use vegetables every day for good health. When you have constipation then you want to eat more vegetables and fruits than normal. After you clear your constipation, them back off from eating excess vegetables and just eat what you need to prevent constipation.

Carrots, Cabbage and Raisins

Because carrots contain fiber, they help to form a good stool and promote peristaltic action. By combining carrots with cabbage and raisins, you can create an even more powerful food that will help in relieving constipation. Combine the following vegetables to form an evening salad:

* Chopped carrots

* Shredded cabbage (raw or slightly steamed)

* Romaine lettuce

* Cauliflower

* Cucumbers

* A handful raisins

* Sprinkle a tablespoon of grounded flax seeds

* Mix in 1 2 tablespoons of olive oil or more

* Mix in 1 tablespoon of flax seed oil

* Mix in 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or more

* One tablespoon of lecithin granules

Eat this salad once or twice a day for three days. After that you should continue to eat a vegetable salad for lunch or dinner. Make sure to drink plenty of water when eating more fiber.

Carrot and Spinach Juice

Combine 10 oz of carrot and 6 oz of spinach juice. Drink two pints daily. Both these vegetables have nutrients to help relieve your constipation.

Cucumber

Cucumbers are good for preventing constipation. But they can be used in the carrot-spinach juice or the apple-spinach juice. Cucumbers make these juices more powerful. Use only about - of a cucumber when adding it to these juices. You can experiment with how much cucumber you want to add.

Cucumbers are a natural diuretic and help to dissolve kidney stones. Because they are high in potassium, they help to promote the flexibility of colon cells. This helps to keep your colon working, as it should.

Cabbage and Asparagus

Cabbage is high in fiber and contains a good amount of potassium, foliate, beta-carotene and many other nutrients bioflavonoids, indoles, genistein, monoterpenes. It is these various chemicals that give it its potent ability to reduce or prevent colon cancer and heal various ulcers along the gastrointestinal tract.

Cabbage is anti-bacterial and helps to heal tissues in the stomach, intestines, and colon.

Drinking cabbage juice produces intestinal gas. This gas occurs when cabbage juices combine with putrefied layers in the intestines and colon.

Use little or no salt on any preparation of cabbage. Salt destroys the nutritional value of cabbage.

There are many forms of cabbage you can use for your juices green, red, savoy, bok choy Asparagus. Asparagus are also high in fiber. They also provide foliate and vitamins A and C. Refrigerate asparagus quickly if you are not going to use them and keep them for 3 days or less. Asparagus that have not been refrigerated lose their nutritional value quickly.

People with gout should not eat asparagus since they contain purines that can start a gout attack.

Steam your cabbage and asparagus with a slight amount of water for 3-4 minutes or less. Eat just before going to bed and take some digestive enzymes to help digest this food.

Is Cleansing Colon Using Over The Counter Products Safe - 3 Ingredients To Avoid At All Costs

Yes, you can safely and effectively cleanse your colon using over the counter products.

Colon cleansing is beneficial and safe if and ONLY if you use a high quality reputable colon cleansing product and you take care to avoid colon cleansers with ingredients that may be dangerous to your health.

When you choose a natural colon cleanser it is very important that you read the ingredients that are in the product so you can avoid anything harmful.

In this short article I want to alert you to a few ingredients you need to watch out for that might be unsafe for you in a colon cleanse.

Psyllium - Psyllium is a part of many colon cleanse kits. It is used by many people to relieve constipation and as a weight loss supplement. You need to know that psyllium is a bulking agent and can swell up in your digestive tract and actually block normal bowel and colon function. If you use psyllium you need to drink a lot of liquids or you could end up with cement in your digestive system - just the opposite of the colon cleansing you are trying to do.

Senna Leaf - Senna is extensively used as a laxative due to its potent medicinal values. What you may not be aware of is that Senna can upset your body's electrolyte and water balance which if left unchecked can be fatal. In addition overuse of the Senna herb can cause your liver to fail and your colon function to diminish rather than work better.

Cascara Sagrada - This herb contains anthraquinones and is found in numerous prescriptions and "over the counter laxative" drugs. Cascara Sagrada is actually classified as a carcinogen (cancer causing agent) and long term use has been linked to the development of colorectal growths (adenomas). Other health conditions you may experience if you use this herb include: hepatitis, liver damage, stomach pain, rectal bleeding and colon lesions. Cascara sagrada also goes by the names: rhamnus purshiana, cascara, California buckthorn, sacred bark

Colon cleansing is very beneficial for your body however you need to be sure to choose an effective and all natural colon cleanse product that does not contain cascara sagrada, senna or psyllium.

I have been colon cleansing for years with great results. In the beginning I did not know what to avoid and I unfortunately experienced some awful side effects from some horrid products. I am now wiser and more educated and I want you to avoid the pitfalls I went through in my first colon cleanses.

Currently, my favorite internal colon cleanse product is all natural and simply melts away the waste from the small intestine, large intestine and colon, safe and effectively. I use it often to keep my insides clean and I feel great!

I want to reassure you that colon cleansing with the right over the counter product can be especially good for your health.

Just because there are some herbs to avoid when colon cleansing, please don't avoid colon cleansing altogether or you will miss out on some tremendous health benefits.
