Constipation and Fatigue. What’s the connection?

Posted on by

“Ninety-five percent of adults have bowel movements between three and 21 times per week, and this would be considered normal. The most common pattern is one bowel movement a day, but this pattern is seen in less than 50% of people. Moreover, most people are irregular and do not have bowel movements every day or the same number of bowel movements each day.” -MedicineNet.com

YIKES!

Many years ago I was helping a teen-age boy clear up a terrible case of acne. Tried this, tried that, tried everything. Finally I ended up with him at a health food store. The manager took an interest is us and, to make a long story short, it turned out that this young man was having a bowl movement every 3 or 4 days! (Contrary to the above stat “normal” is having a bowel movement after each meal.)

Anyway, he was given herbs and immediately his body starting working properly. Not only did the acne clear up, so did his migraine headaches. This was a huge “ah ha” for me.

What does constipation have to do with fatigue?

Well … constipation, just like fatigue, is a sign that your body isn’t functioning properly. It is wake up call vs. “the way it is.”

Constipation feeds fatigue, literally. Because toxins aren’t being eliminated properly, they are in fact building up and demanding more of your body’s energy to process and store. Yes, your body is providing rent free storage space to a bunch of crap.

Today, just do a couple things to get moving in a healthier direction. (Don’t go nuts. It took time to get blocked up and it takes time to turn it around. You are probably not 12 years old, right?)

1. Add more fiber. Add a serving of brown rice at dinner. How about the Fatigue Buster breakfast tomorrow?

2. Breathe Out. Breathe In. Breath. It is not just our bodies that get backed up. It is our thinking and our feeling.

3. Suppliment your diet. Good quality and the right kind of vitamins and minerals definitely help. Here’s what works for me (Psst. My minerals include lots of Magnessium which is essential for releasing toxins and sleeping well at night. )

An Ancient Chinese Proverb tells us, “If we do not change our direction, we are likely to end up where we are headed.” If you are tired of feeling tired all the time, perhaps it’s time for a new direction.

Today be conscious of your breath. If you catch yourself holding it in or breathing tightly or shallowly, try this easy-does-it relaxation technique.

1. Close your eyes.
2. Place one palm on your heart chakra (on your left breast) and the other on your solar plexus chakra (just underneath your ribs)
3. Focus on relaxing and breathing slowly and easily. Feel the breath moving into and through your palms.

Breathe in spirit. Breathe out worries. Breathe in spirit. Breathe out … Breathe in … Breathe.

Just one way to boost your energy – Puppy Love

Last Wednesday I bought a pedometer to start logging my steps for the SPCA. (I am a volunteer dog walker – you could be too. Click here for typical volunteer opportunities at your local shelter OR to help out at ours.)

Anywho, on Wednesday, January 2ND I walked 9533 steps. Someday I’ll figure out how that translates into miles. Right now I like the sound of steps! BTW = The manual that came with the pedometer recommends that we walk a total of 10,000 steps a day.

Volunteering – doing something you Love for something or someone you Love is sooooooo
energizing. It is proven to release all kinds of feel good hormones. I have gone in for this weekly 2 hour walking spree feeling like c-r-a-p – feeling tired – feeling stressed, even with migraine headaches and come out of it refreshed, re-Energized and loving life. Must be a combination of heart, movement, oxygen and water intake …

This is just ONE way to give yourself an emotional and physical boost. Do you have something else to suggest? Add it on here for the rest of us!

Energize Your Mom

I don’t know about your mom … but mine is somewhat stubborn, leaning towards diabetes and feeling tired much of the day.

Long story short I went to a meeting with her about her diet and diabetes. It started around lunchtime, lasted 2 hours and was way too complex. We left hungry, exhausted and toting a notebook crammed with information about food categories and combinations.

That was in May. I arrived back home for a visit in October. The notebook is in a drawer and mom was feeling about the same — tired, cranky and easily aggravated.

My keep it simple solution is to get her on the following supplement routine. We started 2 weeks ago and she is feeling much better. What a relief to be able to give back a little of the support she has poured out onto me. (And to have our time together be more enjoyable.)

These are high quality products, economical, in capsules for easy absorption and there are not a lot of pills to swallow. Another plus is they work for me too.

How much time have you lost this week – today – as a result of procrastination?

Does the guilt of putting something off until the last minute stop you from doing something you really wanted to do? Spend more time with your family? Sleeping well at night? Feeling energized in your life?

Procrastination is that pebble in the shoe that can ruin the perfect walk. Tune into this interview with Rebecca White of Heal Yourself Talk Radio and her guest, Kerul Kassel, author, Stop Procrastinating Now. (see below)
