Symptoms of constipation

Symptoms vary between sufferers. Some people just experience a spot of difficulty, having to ’strain’ on the toilet, while others may have physical discomfort, particularly: Wind, Bloated stomach and Stomach pains/stomach cramps

Causes of constipation

Just because you get constipation doesn’t mean you are unhealthy or even that you have an unhealthy lifestyle. You can follow a high-fibre diet, exercise every day and drink lots of water yet still get constipation from time to time. Even from childhood some people just seem to be more susceptible than others.

Why Is Colon Cleansing So Crucial?

We are all exposed to thousands of toxins and chemicals on a daily basis at work, in the home, through the air we breathe, our food and water supply, and through the use of pharmaceutical drugs. In addition, we are eating more sugar and processed foods than ever before in human history and regularly abuse our bodies with various stimulants and sedatives. These toxins and “dead” foods lead to poor digestion, constipation, toxic colon build-up, weight gain and low energy. These common symptoms are more than just an inconvenience – they can lead to long-term health problems and serious disease.
