Relieve Constipation Daily with your Diet--Foods to Add

There are many factors which should be considered when you are constipated.  They include but are not limited to: diet, stress, hydration, physiological development of your digestive system, age, the care of your digestive system over the years, medications, time to have a bowel movement, and psychological attitude regarding the elimination process (Often learned behavior growing up--Is it important, embarrassing, necessary evil, an inconvenience, etc.).

Foods which assist in naturally preventing or relieving constipation either add bulk to your diet, cause peristaltic action in the digestive system, and/or promote the development of a good environment for foods to be properly digested, absorbed and excreted.   It is necessary to be consistent with the addition of these foods daily if you want to have regular bowel movements.  These foods include but are not limited to:  Spinach, bananas, sesame seeds, sesame oil, honey, pears, prunes, peaches, apples, apricots, walnuts, pine nuts, almonds, alfalfa sprouts, carrots, cauliflower, beets, okra, cabbage, papaya, coconut, sweet potato, asparagus, large lima beans, black beans, chickpeas, kidney beans, lentils, mung beans, figs, oat bran, rice bran, wheat bran, honey, psyllium husks, flax seeds, broccoli, etc.
