Two Prevalent yet Lacking Nutrients might be Your Causes of Constipation

Can you guess what two items of nutrition that most women don't get enough of? These two are hard to find in some third world countries, but not in America or the rest of the developed world. These simple dietary ingredients would solve most women's constipation problems if they weren't forgotten. The natural constipation remedy surrounds us and is so obvious that it is usually ignored and forgotten about.

The first is water. One of the greatest resources we have to create a healthy digestive system, skin, body, and overall health is water. The main building block of all our cells is water, and we refuse to drink a replenishing supply daily.

Our bowel exists to extract extra water from our wastes. If we don't take enough water in, our systems go into a panic mode trying to extract and conserve water wherever it can find it.

When our bodies need water, the two best places to claim it from is our skin and large intestine, causing hard formed stools. Varicose veins, toughening of the skin, and wrinkles are just some of the complications when our bodies deplete our skin of water. When our organs claim it from our large intestines we get constipated.

Want a completely free natural constipation remedy? All you may need is eight glasses of water everyday. Don't mistake fluids for water. Fruit juice is sugar to our bodies. Pop is completely foreign. Tea and coffee further dehydrate you because they are diuretics. They fool your system into expelling water your body needs.

Water works strangely in our systems. Swelling and bloating is a sign of dehydration, drink more. When you consistently increase your water intake, your bowels stop extracting as much, and releases the excess stored as weight.

If you are interested a natural constipation remedy, losing weight, and healthier skin, drink more water.

The second ignored nutrient in women's diet is fiber.

Here are the four easiest and best sources of fiber, vegetables (again preferably raw, lightly steamed, or baked), nuts and seeds,fruit (preferably raw), WHOLE grains (brown bread, brown rice, Not white).

Most of the foods we find at the grocery store have zero grams of dietary fiber. Many of the foods that claim they are whole grain are processed and cooked to the point they have lost their fiber value. There is little to no fiber in many common processed foods such as cake, cookies, bread, pizza, and pasta. Start slow, with a snack between meals of an apple or pear if your digestive system is not used to a high fiber diet.

I doubt your family would rebel if they had to eat their peanut butter and jelly on wheat bread rather than white. Whole wheat pasta is three feet from the white. Captain Crunch in the morning or a healthier granola cereal?

More water and a little fiber. This could be all you need to find your own natural constipation remedy.
