What defines constipation?
The characteristics of constipation include: hard formed stools, bowel movements fewer than two times a week, prolonged straining, difficulty getting fecal matter out when having a bowel movement, feeling of rectal fullness, and feeling that there is pressure in the rectum.
The causes can be physical such as a stroke, spinal cord lesion, obesity, diabetic, or hemorrhoids. The cause can be drug related such as antidepressants, iron, aspirin, calcium, pain medications. It can be due to personal or environmental causes such as poor diet due to lack of money, poor soil to grow proper foods, cultural values and beliefs, personal likes/dislikes, allergies/intolerances.
Cleansing the colon on a routine basis and following some basic dietary guidelines can provide the body with a healthy regularity. To learn more, visit the website.
