So, we left off yesterday . . . asking the question . . . what are "ghost poops"???
Well . . . it's an "urge" to poop . . . that ends up only being gas . . . or a small poop that's so "smooth" and "quick" . . . it goes down the drain before you can even turn around to see it.
Ever have that happen???
Well . . . that's very common when being "constipated" . . .
Okay . . . so next question . . . how long is "NORMAL" . . . to be siting on the toilet to take a "poop"???
Well . . . the "average, healthy" bowel movement takes "12 seconds" . . .
YOU HEARD ME RIGHT PEOPLE!!!!
It takes "12 seconds" and it should take "no longer" than "10 minutes" to accomplish that mission.
So, if you're a "toilet sitter" . . . and "waiting" for that "poop" to come . . .
This may NOT . . . be a healthy pass time.
So, how do "digestive enzymes" help with bowel movements???
Well . . . because they help the body break down fats, carbohydrates and proteins . . .
They "promote" healthy digestion . . . healthy "gastrocolic reflex" . . . and a healthy "urge" for a bowel movement.
So . . . get your "digestive tract" working properly for a good "POOP" people!!!
And my "Constipation Smoothie" can help this process . . .
So, here we go . . .
Ingredients: 1 serving
1 cup of organic unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup of fresh pears - skinned, deseeded and core removed
1/2 cup of organic baby spinach
1 tablespoon of "unrefined" organic cold pressed coconut oil
1 tablespoon of hemp seeds
Instructions:
In a blender . . . add all ingredients.
Mix well
Serve and enjoy
And why does this work so well???
Well . . . a true "almond milk" - is high in fiber content.
Now, this is one that is organic and unsweetened with the least amount of ingredients.
"Blueberries" - are also full of fiber and can prevent and maintain regularity for a healthful digestive tract
"Pears" - are a sweet fruit packed with vitamins and antioxidants that also contains high fiber
"Spinach" - is loaded with fiber and vitamins that will get your "pooper" pooping
Coconut oil - has a laxative effect that can increase "metabolism" and help food pass more quickly and easily through the body.
And "hemp seeds" - are high in fiber that can aid in digestion, balance hormones and improve metabolism.
So, did you see a "COMMON DENOMINATOR" in all these elements???
That's right . . . this smoothie is HIGH in FIBER!!!
Which is one of the most important elements that this Western diet is "MISSING"!!!!!!!!!!!
So, next week let's talk about the "BONE/LIVER" axis.
As always be safe and healthy this weekend and remember to be "mindful" in your world.
