Irritable Bowel Syndrome Relief

Constipation is a common disorder that is
rampant among the American populace.

Estimates have shown that over 3 million
people have constipation annually in the
United States.
As if that were not enough,
more than 2 million also suffer from
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

The causes of constipation are multifaceted.
However, there are varied methods in the
meantime that will result in some form of
relief for anyone who has got constipation.
For the purpose of this write-up, we’ll
focus a lot more on the natural home
remedies useful in constipation relief around us.

1. Drink water regularly.
At least 6 glasses of water a day
would be very great and therapeutic.
Large amounts of water aids quick
digestion and enables easier bowel movement.

2. Adding roasted black gram powder
to chapatti made of wheat including
the husks too can enhance constipation relief.

3. Molasses which have high calorie
content are also very good. Beware though
as it has a strong taste and you’ll want
to add fruit juice or milk to it when taking it.
All you really need is two tablespoonfuls
of blackstrap molasses just before sleeping at night.

4. Take half a cup of cabbage juice twice a day.
This is very effective in treating and curing constipation.

5. If you have got access to mango,
take one in the morning right after brushing
before breakfast, and one at night after dinner.
Mangoes are very effective bowel movers.
There is a sure guarantee that you’ll
have to “go” at least twice before nightfall.

6. Create a mixture of Spiegel seeds and warm milk.
This is done by dipping the Spiegel seeds (5-10g)
in warm milk (200g). To this, mixture, add sugar
and you have for yourself a highly
effective treatment method.

7. If you are suffering from chronic constipation,
take a drink of figs dipped in water in the morning.
If taken in copious amounts, you’ll definitely
find yourself reaching for the next available toilet.

8. if you want instant relief from constipation,
drink water that has been kept in a copper container
and has been left overnight.
It acts as a superb constipation relief.

9. Get half a glass of water and mix
one-quarter (¼) of Epsom salts with it for
fast constipation relief.

10. Also try pouring a whole sachet of
Andrew’s Liver Salt in a glass of water sand
gulp down immediately.
This will also produce a fast constipation relief.

Finally, you want more of something instead of less! HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol is also known as the “good” cholesterol. HDL removes cholesterol from your bloodstream and carries it back to the liver. I like to think of HDL as a vacuum cleaner, picking up cholesterol LDL leaves behind in your arteries. HDL should be greater than 40 mg/dL, ideally greater than 60 mg/dL.

Physical Activity
One of the best ways to increase your HDL is through physical activity, specifically aerobic activity (jogging, swimming, biking, etc.). For results, you need at least 120 minutes of moderate physical activity each week. In this case, vigorous activity does not have more of an impact, but duration does. The longer you work out the greater them impact on HDL. Work your way up to a minimum of 30 minutes 5 days/week. If you’re not currently physically active, consult your MD before starting an exercise program.

Saturated and Trans Fats

Limiting unhealthy fats will also impact HDL, so look at your saturated fat and trans fat intake and see where you can make cuts. Your total fat intake for the day should be limited to 30% of your daily calories. Of this 30%, only 10% should be from saturated fat and ideally zero from trans fats. To attain these levels you’ll need to select healthy choices when dining out, read food labels, cook with healthy fats, and select lean cuts of meat.

Omega 3’s

Selecting healthy fats, such as omega 3’s, will raise HDL while lowering LDL. Incorporating healthy omega 3 fatty acids will also improve your total cholesterol to HDL ratio.

Dietary Fiber

A high fiber diet does not directly boost HDL levels. However, a high fiber diet does lower LDL cholesterol. As LDL is lowered, your Total Cholesterol to HDL ratio improves. For the greatest impact, eat a diet especially rich in soluble fiber and select whole grain products, fruits, and vegetables daily.

Alcohol

Alcohol plays a role in raising HDL levels also. I’m not a big advocate of using alcohol to raise HDL, but if you already consume alcohol, 1-2 drinks per day can raise levels. More than 1-2 drinks per day will increase your health problems. If you do not drink, do not start.

The condition known as inflammatory bowel disease affects a person’s digestive system. The digestive system includes the organs from the anus to the mouth and is regarded as being an external body part. The digestive tract contents contain germs and bacteria and is said to be ‘dirty’ while the internal body parts do not contain bacteria and are clean.
Bacteria in the digestive system promotes the digestion of food - ideally the major part of the digestion process should occur from enzymes present in whole raw food stuffs but modern diets (mostly Western) are made up of large quantities of processed foods and sugar which increases fermentation processes in the intestines. Regardless of the process (enzymes or fermentation), bacteria has an important function. For example, a person who is taking antibiotics may suffer from diarrhea because ‘good’ bacteria in the intestines are destroyed.

Although inflammatory bowel disease may occur anywhere within the digestive tract, most people experience problems with the large or small (lower) intestines. The condition falls within the category of Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis which affects the manner in which food is converted into nutrients in the intestines.

Between 1 and 2 million American citizens suffer from this condition mostly in the age group 15 to 30 years although older adults and younger children are also diagnosed. The condition is more prevalent in industrialized countries (Western) where exposure to stress, processed foods and sugar is considerably higher. Research results are unable determine conclusively what the causes of the condition are and there are theories that it involves dietary, environmental or genetic factors and are more biological than emotional.

The condition must not be confused with irritable bowel syndrome which does not physically or biologically change the intestines - irritable bowel syndrome appears to be caused mainly by emotional or stress related issues.
