Constipation

Constipation is a problem that many people encounter in their daily life. Some people only face this problem when travelling while for others it is part of their daily routine.

Build up toxins

Our bodies are designed to eliminate toxins every day. This eliminatory process involves getting rid of metabolic waste, bacteria, hormones and dead cells through our stools. When the mobility of our digestive system slows down, toxins accumulate at risk of being reabsorbed in the colon and put back into circulation.

The solution

Dried figs are a natural laxative. This amazing fruit can give you noticeable results in just a few uses only. Here you have a good protocol to try this remedy.

Protocol

Before you go to bed have one dried fig with a full glass of water. This should help you to go to the toilet in the morning. If you are still constipated, try two figs with a big glass of water before bed. By next morning you should feel completely relieved. There are many other important strategies you should try in order to promote healthy bowel movements. In fact, all these strategies should be implemented as a routine to fight constipation.

• Increase water intake

• Eat more vegetables high in fibre such as broccoli or avocado

• Exercise: move your body
