4 easy ways to reduce constipation

It’s no secret; we’ve all had trouble going at some point or another.

Whether it’s a random occurrence, or you’ve had difficulty with it for a while, it’s understandable to wonder about the cause of your irregularity.

While it’s true to say that everyone’s body is different — colons aren’t all identical in their ability to process foods — there are a handful of best-practices from which virtually anyone can benefit.

Here are some ways, including colon hydrotherapy, to promote colon health.

Stay hydrated

The human body is about 60 percent water. So, it should come as little surprise that in order to properly regulate all of the body’s essential functions, adequate hydration levels are crucial.

Digestion is no exception to this rule.

Millions of enzymes live and work inside the colon, and they need both warmth and moisture to stay alive and break down food.

Nurturing these microorganisms with 8 glasses of water a day will help keep you and them “going” with ease.

Plan on going

If there’s no pain, and if the general urge to go just isn’t there, it tends to slip many people’s minds — they just don’t bother with it.

Meanwhile, waste is being backlogged in the colon, making it increasingly difficult to go when you really feel like you have to.

To resolve this, try attempting to go about once a day – regardless if the urge is present.

It’s not recommended that people hurt themselves pushing, but safely being proactive about cleaning out the colon is never a bad thing.

Colon hydrotherapy

Colon hydrotherapy, also called colonic irrigation, is a procedure performed by trained technicians designed to rid you of constipation issues.

Essentially, a long tube is gently inserted inside the rectum, sending warm, sterilized water through the colon to cleanse out toxins. In turn, this cleansing process breaks up hard waste.
