Constipation is a condition that starts in the digestive system. It is where a person has hard faeces and finds it very hard to pass through the bowels.<br />
There may be a degree of pain involved depending on how hard the waste is. Constipation is one of the most common digestive system complaints that if you ask 10 people if they have ever experienced it 10 people will have said yes. The only way to really determine if you have constipation is by the person who is experiencing it and the description of how they feel.<br />

Some times rectal exams are given to see if the lower rectum cavity has any faeces present. Some people have chronic constipation, this will last for more than 3 months and at least for 3 days out of the month. This is also called Irritable Bowel Syndrome. The main reasons for constipation are certain mediations, injured anal sphincter, lead poisoning, functional constipation and Psychosomatic Constipation.<br />

Natural Cure Constipation</h3>
<br />
Natural cures for constipation include keeping hydrated, but drinking plenty of water and an increase of fibre can move along the process. Vegetables and fruits are also helpful in cleansing the bowels. One of the most common and natural ways to relieve constipation is by laxative. Sometimes depending on how severe it is, laxatives may cause some pain. So you may want to use this as a last resort.<br />
<br />
Certain juices are also said to help relieve constipation. Prune juice is the most popular, followed by Apple juice and Orange juice. Any type of citrus juice or even citrus fruit can be used to lessen constipation. Other types of fruits can be helpful as well. Bananas, Blueberries, Boysenberries, Cantaloupe, Cherries and Apricots.<br />

It was known as a low carb diet and it was founded by diet guru Robert Atkins. The basic concept of the diet was to first show people that obesity was caused by eating refund sugars, flowers and high fructose corn syrup. He wanted to debunk the myth that saturated fat was a bad thing to have in your diet. Trans fats that come from oils such as hydrogenated oils need to be avoided at all costs.<br />
<br />

<br />
The traditional food pyramid was a joke to Dr Atkins who believed that the amount of carbs that the pyramid said we should consume was actually the cause of most metabolic disorders. Dr. Atkins believed that nutritional supplements and exercise were a very big part of the elements to a great diet. The diet is broken down in stages. The first stage was called Induction. During this stage, dieters were limited to a carb intake of 20 net grams per day and 12 to 15 grams had to come from salad greens and other different types of vegetables.<br />
<br />
You could have as many meats, fishes, shellfish, poultry and eggs. But only 4 ounces of hard cheeses, salad vegetables and low carb vegetables and butter and oils. During the induction, you are not allowed to consume alcohol. You could have some caffeine. The Induction Phase was when dieters saw the most amount of weight loss, some people took it so seriously that reports of weight loss were recorded at 5 to 10 pounds per week.<br />
<br />
Once you completed Induction, the diet would then include what they called Ongoing Weight Loss. The carb intake was increased by 2 net grams and the goal was for the dieter to control the food they were eating. Dr.Atkins incorporated rungs into the diet, each rung was a carb ladder. The rungs were vegetables, fresh dairy, nuts berries, alcohol, legumes, fruits, starchy vegetables and grains.<br />
<br />
They then went to pre-maintenance which increases the carbs by 10 each week as the ladder is grouped. The lifetime maintenance is the next phase, which is how to learn to eat this way for a lifetime. This diet was at the height of its popularity was in 2003 and 2004. At the height of popularity, it was said that many companies suffered losses. Pasta and Rice companies took a hit and companies like Krispy Kreme and Dunkin Donuts suffered as well. But some companies made money, like Coke and Pepsi, they came out with their versions of a carb-free soda.<br />
<br />
The reason why so many people went on this diet was to drop weight fast and to learn a better way to live. They wanted to eat healthy but eating foods like fruits and vegetables were healthy and leaving out pasta and rice.Jonathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08888227490963156226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943725286869471888.post-7285120084241372472019-10-03T10:38:00.000-07:002019-10-03T10:38:09.119-07:00Natural Health RemediesA well-balanced diet usually provides all the essential nutrients in sufficient quantity.<br />
If your child does not exactly the recommended amounts every day, do not be concerned. Through regular physical examinations, a doctor can determine if your child is well nourished. The nutrients in food can be divided into certain groups-proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. Water is sometimes considered as a nutrient.<br />
<br />

<br />
PROTEINS<br />
Proteins are necessary for the growth and repair of cells. Proteins help build blood and form antibodies to fight infection. They also supply energy. The proteins in food are broken down into amino acids by the body’s digestive system. Then the body cells use amino acids like building blocks to put together new and different proteins. For infants, there are 9 essential amino acids.<br />
<br />
The body can make others if it gets these 9, but it cannot manufacture these 9 amino acids. These foods called complete proteins, including meats, poultry, fish, milk, cheese and eggs. Other foods contain some of the essential 9 amino acids. These foods, called incomplete proteins, include cereals, dried beans, dried pies, and nuts.<br />
<br />
CARBOHYDRATES<br />
Starches and sugars, two carbohydrates, supply quick energy. Starches are found in cereals, bread and other baked goods, rice, noodles, macaroni, spaghetti, potatoes, lima beans and corn. Sources of sugars include candy, fruit, honey, jams, jellies, syrup and milk.<br />
Other important carbohydrates are celluloses. Celluloses cannot be digested, but they supply roughage. Roughage stimulates muscle contractions in the intestine walls. This helps the body eliminate wastes. The leaves of vegetables and the skin and pulp of fruits are good sources of roughage. If a child does not eat enough digestible carbohydrates, the body burns protein for energy.<br />
<br />
A child needs carbohydrates so that the proteins are spared for body-building. Nutritionists recommend meeting the carbohydrate needs of a child mainly through bread, cereals, fruits, green vegetables, milk and potatoes. If a child takes too much of the carbohydrates requirement in the form of sweets, the child’s supply of vitamins, minerals, and proteins from vegetables and fruits may be lowered. Also, a diet high in refined sugar, such as candy, can cause tooth decay.<br />
<br />
Excess carbohydrates are converted into fat and stored in the body as fatty tissues. If a child eats more starches and sweets than are needed for daily energy requirements, the child may become overweight.<br />
<br />
The “shift to alcohol” among adolescents, may represent a trend toward reconciliation with society’s “drug of choice”. There is no good reason to misuse drugs. But in a world where pills and other drugs are available for the relief of many ills and alcohol is socially acceptable, experimentation with drugs is understandable, though not justifiable.<br />
<br />
FATS<br />
Fats are highly concentrated sources of energy. They supply more than twice the energy of an equal amount of carbohydrates or proteins. However, fats are digested slower and cannot be used for quick energy. Fats also supply vitamins A and D. Foods containing fats include cream, butter, margarine, cheese, egg yolk, fat in meats, salad oils, peanut butter, nuts and chocolate. Fat that is not burned up is stored as body fat. Body fat supports and protects vital organs and areas such as the eyeballs, the kidneys, the liver and the joints. A layer of fat under the skin protects the body from losing an excessive amount of heat. If a child eats too many fats, excess body fat is formed and the child becomes overweight.<br />
<br />
Fats can be divided into two types: saturated and unsaturated. Saturated fats are usually solid at room temperature, and unsaturated fats are usually liquid at room temperature. Most doctors recommend reducing the amount of saturated fats in the diet and replacing them with unsaturated fats because saturated fats are known to raise the level of cholesterol, a fatty chemical found in the bloodstream. A high level of cholesterol in the body may lead to heart disease.<br />
<br />
Foods high in saturated fats include chocolate, fatty beef, fatty dairy products, luncheon meats and pork. Most margarines, poultry and veal are lower in saturated fats. Foods high in unsaturated fats include corn oil, fish, mayonnaise and special margarines. Fried foods are full of the kind of fat they are cooked in.<br />
<br />
MINERALS<br />
Several minerals are also required by the body. These minerals include calcium, iron and iodine. Calcium helps build bones and teeth, helps blood clot, helps muscles and nerves work, and help the body regulate the use of other minerals. Milk, cheese, ice-cream, shellfish, canned sardines, egg yolk, soybeans a green vegetables supply calcium. Iron combines with protein to make haemoglobin, the red substance in blood that carries oxygen to cells.<br />
<br />
Good sources of iron include lean meats, egg yolk, dried beans and peas, green leafy vegetables, prunes, raisins, dried apricots, liver, heart, kidney, liver sausage, shellfish and enriched or whole-grain bread, cereal and cereal products. Iodine helps control the rate at which the body uses energy. Seafood and iodized salt supply iodine.<br />
<br />
VITAMINS<br />
Vitamins are essential for the utilization of foods for normal growth and for prevention of certain diseases. Some vitamins, such as vitamins A and D, may be stored in the body. Other vitamins must be supplied constantly because the excess is eliminated. Vitamins can be divided into two general classes. Vitamins A and D and others are called fat-soluble because they dissolve in fat. Vitamin C, B-complex vitamins and others are called water-soluble because they dissolve in water.<br />
<br />
WATER<br />
It helps carry nutrients to cells and waste products away from cells. It also helps build tissues and. regulates body temperature. Water is obtained from liquids and from foods with a high percentage.<br />
<br />
CONSERVING NUTRIENTS<br />
Store and prepare foods in ways that preserve nutrients:<br />
- Keep meat, fish and poultry in a refrigerator or freezer, wrapped in plastic wrap or foil.<br />
- Keep frozen food frozen until it is used, and cook it as it is defrosted. Frozen food loses vitamins after thawing and refreezing. Never refreeze frozen foods.<br />
- Wash leafy vegetables and store them in plastic in a refrigerator.<br />
- Cook vegetables for the shortest possible time in as little liquid as possible<br />
