FOOD FOR HEALING


The first step in reclaiming your energy is to make sure that what you put in…comes out right. Your stool should be well formed, firm, not offensively smelly, and come out easily. If you do not experience a regular bowel movement, or if you commonly experience loose or hardened stools, you are likely suffering from some digestive issue. Without a consistent elimination pattern, you will likely feel fatigue, tired, unmotivated and uncomfortable.


Sometimes it’s as easy as correcting your diet, because food sensitivities or intolerances can interfere with proper digestion. You can investigate this on your own with a food diary to track any irregular responses. For instance, dairy causes digestive upset in many people, and gluten can create an


inflamed bowel. If you cannot pinpoint a certain food, then you might want to dig further with the help of your doctor and test for bacteria, parasites or other pathogens that might be blocking your pipes.


However, for acute constipation


issues there are a few home remedies you can try to get some relief.


1. Make sure you are drinking enough water. Dehydration can prevent food from smoothly moving through the intestinal track. Adding fresh lemon juice to your water can stimulate your digestion as well.


2. Eat enough fiber. Fruits and vegetables, especially leafy greens, are critical for a healthy bowel.


3. Ginger or peppermint teas help to calm the stomach and quell inflammation.


Finally, take a look at your emotions and stress levels. Often we can feeling stick in a rut or held back with stress, or we hold on to emotions like anger, resentment or frustration. Given what we know about the mind-body connection, it is quite feasible for the gut to respond to these emotions. Gently and kindly work on releasing your emotions to regain emotional balance and calm the gut.


Your digestive system is at the root of your well-being. When your gut is off, so are you. So, don’t let another day pass by without working towards relief. Your digestive system is too important to ignore.
