BEETROOT CONSTIPATION

The beetroot is God’s gift to the colon. Beetroot constipation is just the most delicious, simple solution to a serious health problem. It has a form of natural fibre that makes the stool soft and easy to pass. The very best cure for sufferers of constipation.

Constipation is a serious problem. Toxic bowel material needs to be passed every day and, allowed to build up in the colon, leads to many bowel diseases including colon cancer. Headaches too. Anything less than a daily bowel movement should be considered abnormal.

It is probably the soluble fibre fraction in beets that is so friendly to the colon. The apple too is full of soluble fibre which is why it has proved so effective in the treatment of bowel disease.

Raw honey, not what you buy in the supermarket, old wives tales would have it has also been used for years for constipation, though I know not what the active ingredient is. For more information, click here.

Healthy Living Tips: Beetroot is rich in natural iron and is excellent for women suffering with anaemia. Recent research in Holland has started questions about the over use of iron supplementation. There are concerns. So if you are anaemic, take less iron tabs and eat more beets! Aphrodite ate beets apparently to retain her beauty! You’ll remain beautiful too!

The leaves are delicious too, incidentally. I think they are nicer than family member Spinach.

Choose young beets. The hard, old woody ones are unpalatable. They are sweet (hence a variety used for Sugar Beet – also delicious, incidentally, if you can lay your hands on them) and, with a little butter, absolutely scrumptious! Don’t forget the leaves – a delicious spinach.

OTHER SIMPLE CONSTIPATION SUGGESTIONS

Eat more fibre rich foods and not only beetroot constipation obviously, especially
• salads

• fruit

• fibre rich whole grains and legumes
  
  
• Take more exercise

• Drink more water
  
  
• Sacro-iliac Joint adjustment.
  
  

(I should hasten to say that I have no scientific evidence that SI adjustments help constipation. I have just observed it over the years. As Carl Sagan was want to say: Absence of proof is not the same as proof of absence.)

IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO GET ON TOP OF CONSTIPATION. DO NOT NEGLECT THIS MOST IMPORTANT CONDITION.
