Stop Irregular Bowel Movements

The best way to relieve constipation.

The formula for achieving regular healthy bowel movements each day and maintaining a healthy digestive system includes 4 simple steps. These simple steps can be achieved through a healthy diet, but in today's fast paced life style, healthy eating is not normal. So, to achieve these steps supplementation of the diet may be required.

Hydration - Hydration is needed for peristalsis. By properly hydrating the colon, you will promote regular peristalsis. This is the natural wave like motions that move food through the alimentary canal, which extends from the mouth to the anus and Hydration includes the pharynx, esophagus, stomach, and intestines. Also called  digestive tract.

You should drink plenty of water, about 3 liters (13 Cups) per day. The consumption of water is very important, most liquids can help, but the best is water. Then if needed use hydrating minerals such as Magnesium hydroxide or a gentle laxative herbs such as cape aloe and rhubarb to assist with natural bowel movements.

Bulk - A healthy functioning colon or bowel requires bulk in order to eliminate regularly. Consuming the right amount and type of fiber daily will help provide that bulk. However, most people don't consume enough fiber through their diet alone. A good flax based fiber supplement is ideal to complete the daily fiber needs and promoting daily healthy bowel movements. The flax based supplements provide a better balance of soluble and insoluble fiber. Fibers that could be binding should be avoided. These are binding fibers, such as psyllium, can leave the colon dehydrated and in turn reduce peristalsis.

The consumption of a good organic flax cereal with sun flower seeds added will help in a regular bowel movement.

Lubrication - To achieve a healthy regular elimination or bowel movement schedule, it is critical to keep the colon lubricated. There are very beneficial oils such as fish oil, flax oil and borage oil which are effective in providing the necessary lubrication for a smooth gentle bowel movement.

A good fish oil, flax oil or borage oil is not only good for maintaining the bowel, but it is also good for your general health.

Maintain - Once you have achieved a healthy regular bowel function with healthy bowel movements, maintain it with a daily maintenance formula to include a good healthy diet, plenty of water, exercise, and supplement where needed.

Remember, there is a necessary balance between fiber (bulk) content of the diet, water intake (hydration) and lubrication. Give each one of these some thought before loosing hope and figuring that reasonable bowel function is a hopeless pursuit. You can get quick results to clear your bowel, but don't expect immediate results with regular healthy bowel movements.

If you have had sluggish bowels and constipation all of your life, expect to see the effects of your new and improved fiber, water and lubrication intake over the weeks that follow. The changes in your bowel movements will be gradual, and any adjustments that you make will require days to weeks before the results may be noticeable.
