Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple Cider Vinegar is one of the best constipation remedies I know of and I will discuss this further in a moment but first you need to understand …
What Causes Constipation?
A bad diet is the most common cause of constipation.
You are a likely candidate for constipation if you consume foods which are low in essential vitamins and minerals, drink excessive amounts of coffee or tea but not enough water in a day.
Also, if you are getting along in years, your body goes through a natural slow down in the production of digestive acids and digestive enzymes so diet becomes even more important.
A proper diet and regular exercise can help reduce your chances of constipation.
What Are The Signs?
Of course the most obvious sign of constipation is infrequent and difficult bowel movements but there are other indicators which may not be so obvious such as:
- bad breath,
- loss of appetite,
- headaches and dizziness,
- constant fullness in the abdomen,
- pain in the lower back, and
- diarrhea alternating with constipation.
What Are The Risks?
Constipation is often blamed for many diseases because the retention of waste products in your body allows toxins to be absorbed back into your system.
So How Does Apple Cider Vinegar Help?
ACV contains significant amounts of a water soluble fiber known as pectin. Pectin normalizes the acid levels in your stomach allowing for improved digestion.
Have you ever eaten an apple and then almost immediately needed to go to the bathroom? This has happened frequently to me so there is no doubt in my mind of the effectiveness of ACV.
What I do is add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to an 8 oz glass of water and drink it down 3 times a day. The taste isn’t bad but if it doesn’t agree with you, try adding it to apple or grape juice instead of water.
Of course there are other constipation remedies available to you and some of them are quite good.
I choose apple cider vinegar because it is also a wonderful cure for a number of other ailments which usually require antibiotics or medications.
Did you know it also works on Diarrhea?
