Water! – Are you drinking enough water?\u00a0 <\/span>Fluids help to keep your bowel hydrated and moving along.\u00a0 <\/span>Drink at least 8 large glasses throughout the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Focus on your Digestion – Proper digestion is crucial to the elimination and certain food may cause you difficulty.\u00a0 <\/span>Processed foods, junk food, and sweets are usually the culprits.\u00a0 <\/span>However, in some cases wheat and dairy can contribute to constipation in some people.\u00a0 <\/span>Tips: chew your food well.\u00a0 Promote h<\/span>ealthy gut bacteria from fermented foods, herbs or supplements that support the liver, and digestive system. \u00a0Here are some of my favourites!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Probiotics<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Liver Support<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Get MOVING – Don’t forget the importance of\u00a0exercise! It gets your blood flowing and your bowel moving.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Also, deep abdominal breathing stimulates the internal organs, improving elimination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t Stress – If you are stressed your digestion will shut down.\u00a0 <\/span>Stress reduction techniques are important to relax the muscles and allow the digestive system to operate.\u00a0 <\/span>Deep breathing, yoga, exercise, even amino acids and melatonin can aid in digestion by calming your busy mind.<\/span><\/p>\n
