================== ARTICLE START ==================
Constipation is a problem that affects many Americans every
day. Constipation is mainly due to poor eating habits,
insufficient exercise, not getting enough fiber and not
drinking enough water. Constipation is quite uncomfortable and
most everyone knows when they have it. Common symptoms include:


Straining to have a bowel movement

Hard stools – pellet like stools

Not having a bowel movement every day

Not totally emptying your bowels each time you have a movement

If you eat right and adopt a healthy lifestyle, you need not
every suffer from constipation, but what can you do in the
meantime?

One way to help get things moving is to increase your intake of
potassium through eating foods it naturally occurs in. You
remember your grandmother telling you to eat prunes to relieve
constipation, right? Well that is because prunes are high in
potassium!

Potassium works wonders on the walls of the colon and helps to
stimulate peristaltic action which makes your bowels move. It
also helps to clean out layers of mucus and dried fecal matter
that have built up along the colon walls.

Other foods that contain potassium include: tomatoes, broccoli,
cucumbers, kale, sesame seeds, wheat germ, brewers yeast,
pineapple and cauliflower.

Another natural remedy for constipation is Aloe. This herb that
works so good on your outsides can also help your insides too!
Aloe and its cousins buckthorn, frangula and senna have natural
laxative chemicals and can be very powerful constipation cures
It is recommended you take any of these herbs with caution and
not for extended periods of time.

Psyllium has long been used to help relieve symptoms of
constipation as it is loaded with soluble fiber. Make sure you
take psyllium with lots of water.

Flax seed is used in may packaged products that treat
constipation. You can buy the flaxseeds and crush them
yourself. Take one or two tablespoons a day with lots of water.
You will need to make sure you get at least 8 glasses of water a
day when using flax.

Rhubarb has laxative properties and is high in fiber. Since the
properties that give it it's laxative qualities are similar to
those in senna, this can be very powerful so use with caution!

While using natural remedies for constipation is much better
then taking laxatives, the best thing to do is to practice
prevention by eating lots of fruits and vegetables, getting
adequate exercise and drinking lots of water.
