#1 Drink 8-10 Glasses of Water Per Day<\/h3>\n

This mantra might be overused, but it stays true. Water is the single best thing for your body, and that is especially true if you wish to fight constipation.<\/p>\n

How come? Let\u2019s start with the basics of digestion. After you eat, the food goes through your digestive system. At first, the nutrients get absorbed in the small intestine. After that, the waste is pushed into your large intestine.<\/p>\n

One of the key functions of your colon is to absorb water from the waste that comes into it. If you don\u2019t have enough water in this waste, your stool dries out. It is tough to get it out of your body smoothly.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013 explains Christine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dried out waste will move through your large intestine slower, and the end result will not be satisfying. The solution? Drink plenty of water to keep your colon happy.<\/p>\n\n

#2 Eat More Fermented Foods<\/h3>\n

From the moment you are born, you get into contact with microbes: bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Even though we are led to believe that we must disinfect and kill these tiny creatures, it\u2019s simply not true.<\/p>\n

Most of the bacteria are actually beneficial to your health.<\/p>\n

Your gut contains\u00a0up to 5000 different microbes species\u00a0that can take up approximately\u00a02 kilograms\u00a0of your body weight. It ensures your food gets digested, and your immune system works properly. Even more, your gut has more neurons than your brain, and it is the first to sound the alarm the second something is wrong.<\/p>\n

Fermented foods such as yogurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, sourdough bread, kefir, miso, or pickles naturally contain probiotics. Eat them regularly to ensure your gut bacteria\u00a0is\u00a0healthy and well-fed, and you will notice a long-term improvement in your overall health.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013 recommends Christine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It can take up to 6 months to create a balanced and healthy gut microflora, but it\u2019s definitely worth investing your time into it.<\/p>\n

#3 Increase Your Fiber Intake<\/h3>\n

Your grandma was right when she insisted you eat more prunes if you have stomach trouble.\u00a0Fruits, vegetables, and whole-grains have copious amounts of fiber that is necessary for your gut health.<\/p>\n

Your body cannot break down fiber. It travels through your digestive system intact and helps to clean out your gut.<\/em> \u2013 says Christine. Think of fiber as nature\u2019s broomstick \u2013 it sweeps harmful carcinogens and cholesterol out of your body.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Plant-based foods have plenty of fiber, and you should always make sure that at least half of your plate is covered with a variety of fresh produce. However, if you feel that you tend to skip on your veggies, you could try fiber supplements.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n\n\n\n
Do you get enough fiber?<\/p>\n

Probably not. Half of Americans do not cover the required daily target for fiber.
\nWomen are supposed to get 25 grams of fiber with their food. Men should get 38 grams. Due to highly-processed foods plentiful in every pantry, most of us only reach half this amount.
\nColonBroom<\/a>\u00a0is a designer blend of natural ingredients, including psyllium husk powder, a soluble fiber that is used to relieve constipation for centuries.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

#4 Work Out for 30 Minutes Per Day<\/h3>\n

Exercising boosts mood and metabolism, but one of its unexpected benefits is improving your digestive health. It helps to strengthen abdominal muscles, increase the blood flow, and ensures the food moves through the colon faster, which leaves more water in the stool at the end of the process.<\/p>\n

Working out also reduces stress, which is one of the reasons for constipation in the first place.<\/p>\n

Have you ever noticed that you have gut problems in stressful situations? Digestive issues while traveling or before a big job interview are your body\u2019s natural reaction to stress.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013 clarifies Christine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

30 minutes of exercise per day for 5 days a week is enough to help your gut work more efficiently. Ensure your heart rate increases while you garden, hike, swim, or clean your home, and you will significantly reduce the risk of constipation.<\/p>\n\n

#5 Keep a Regular Schedule<\/h3>\n

You are a creature of habit, and keeping a scattered schedule is not making it easy for your gut. Regular bowel movements will only occur if you make an effort to go to sleep and wake up at approximately the same time.<\/p>\n

Sleeping for 7-8 hours each night will allow you to let your body digest food and prepare yourself for the next day.<\/em> \u2013 says Christine. Eat your meals at the same time each day and have your last meal 2-3 hours before going to bed.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you still have trouble falling asleep, try to avoid screens one hour before sleep, and build your bedtime ritual. You might want to take a bath, read a book, or write a journal.<\/p>\n

+ BONUS TIP<\/h3>\n

How to get a healthy gut and avoid constipation? Try building these effective habits:<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. Drink 8-10 glasses of water each day.<\/li>\n
  2. Eat fermented foods that are high in natural probiotics.<\/li>\n
  3. Eat more vegetables and fruit and increase your daily fiber intake.<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Work out for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.<\/li>\n
  5. Sleep for 7-8 hours each night and do not eat 2-3 hours before going to bed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This\u00a0may sound like a no-brainer, but\u00a0if you want to use the bathroom, don\u2019t let anything\u00a0stop you.\u00a0Research shows that most people start struggling with constipation when they willingly refuse to use the bathroom when they have to. Whether it\u2019s at work or at a\u00a0bar \u2014 do\u00a0your thing. There\u2019s nothing shameful about listening to your body\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Would you like to start strong on this journey? Fiber is essential for your digestive system, and you are probably not getting enough of it.<\/p>\n

    Try the all-natural fiber supplement ColonBroom and you will not only ensure your gut health but also lose weight faster.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
