Constipation is one of the most common complaints of modern man. The worst part is that constipation is responsible for other conditions like :-
- nausea
- dizziness
- fatigue
- gaseousness
- cramps
- backaches
- headaches
The human body is much like an engine, requiring constant fueling and clearance of the fuel ash. Food is the fuel of the human machine. When the proper fuel is fed into the furnace (stomach), the machine (heart, blood, lungs and organs) operates efficiently.
When poor fuel is fed into the furnace, it will not supply the machinery with needed energy. The fuel is not consumed and remains half burned within the furnace grate (colon). This half burned fuel cannot be naturally eliminated and the painful result is called constipation. The related results, the sapping of bodily energy, may result in the infection of any area of the body through the toxic matter that this waste throws into the blood stream.
Laxatives, oils, so-called liver pills, all of these are worthless in treating constipation. Constipation is not a disease of the colon or bowels, but rather of the digestive system. The root of constipation can be found in your refrigerator and on your stove, not in your body.
Laxatives attempt to stimulate the peristaltic action (muscles which perform elimination) and induce bowel movements. Instead, they cause the peristalsis to become dependent upon such stimuli and what you then have is a crutch, not a cure.
Furthermore, laxatives which are based upon high roughage content, without providing other mineral and vitamin value, will eventually cause grave damage to the stomach and bowels.
The following simple recipe will be found to stimulate most common conditions of constipation.
1 lb. dried prunes
1 lb. dry figs
1/4 lb. dried apricots
2 quarts of water
3 lemons
2 tablespoons of honey
The fruit should not be cooked. It is never necessary to cook dried fruit and such cooking will destroy much of the food value.
STEPS :-
1. Simply soak the prunes, figs and apricots in a solution of water and honey into which the lemons have been squeezed and sliced.
2. Allow the fruit to steep overnight.
The syrup produced by these fruits is delicious and should be drunk frequently through the day. A heaping plate of this natural stimulant each morning will serve to quicken the laggardly pace of your eliminatory system.
Also, increased physical activity is primary in combating chronic constipation. Walking, swimming and bowling are three perfect sports in overcoming sluggishness. Calisthenics, with particular emphasis on knee bends and other toe touching exercises, are equally effective. Healing should never be an uncomfortable or annoying process. Both acute and chronic constipation can only be ended through wise food habits and constant attention to bowel movements. The constipation sufferer cannot hope to attain regularity without providing a program of regularity for his eliminatory system.
Once the cleansing and maintenance of a healthy digestive system has begun, you must provide a definite hour of the day for evacuation and you must keep that appointment as regularly as you keep your office hours.
Morning hours, following the two large meals of the preceding day, are best. But morning, noon and night, consistency is demanded. You must not fool your system, for in the end it is yourself who is being tricked.
