Why You Should Use Fruits for Constipation

Fruits are made by nature and are a perfect food They contain the right balance of nutrients with distilled water You gain enormous benefits from eating fruits especially if you eat the outer skin and eat them without cooking They are easy to digest and absorb and do not stress your colon

Fruits contain fiber, which help to cleanse your colon and prevent constipation Most fruits help provide the body with minerals that help the body reduce acid as it is created And most important of all, fruits help cleanse the body of mucus slime that accumulates throughout the body

Fruits do not leave any slime residue in the body when eaten except when they have pesticides and preservatives in their outer skin They do not ferment or putrefy in your colon, as do processed foods, dairy products and meats

Choose your fruits carefully They should be eaten when they are fully ripe Do not eat them if they are under ripe or overripe In the under ripe condition they may be acidic and in the overripe condition the many contain more natural sugar

Fruits, vegetables, and grains contain fructooligosaccharides, FOS It is this compound that helps to feed the good bacteria in your colon Without an adequate supply of FOS, good bacteria will dwindle and bad bacteria will flourish

Apples

Eat 3-4 apples a day to relieve constipation It does not matter what type of apple you eat, but I like gala or Fuji apples since they are small and crisp

It is best to use fresh organic apples when eating apples as a snack since you will not know what pesticides were used in growing the apples If apples are not organic, it is better to peel the apple before eating

Using baked apples also helps to clear constipation

Eat one baked apple at night, right before bedtime, and one just upon rising Do this until you constipation is cleared

In his book, John Heinerman, Heinerman's Encyclopedia of Fruits, Vegetables and Herbs, describes how to bake apples:

"Cut apples in half and clear out the centers Add chopped dates to the center Pour some cranberry juice over the dates and apples Then sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg on the top You can pour cranberry juice on some of the apples and see if you like the taste after they are cooked Cook apples for 46-60 min at 375-400 C"

Dried Apples

Dried apple slices are also a good source of fiber However, when the slices are dehydrated most nutrients are lost but fiber is retained Sulfur dioxide is typically used to dry apple slices and this can cause allergic or asthmatic reactions in some people I do not recommend using dried apple slices in place of fresh organic apples

Just Apples and Mineral Water

Just after waking, eat two unpeeled apples, chew well, and then drink 8 oz of water that has two drops of Alkalife Or, you can use any other mineral additive or supplement you use

This combination of apples and activated mineral water will stimulate your colon to become less sluggish and to move fecal matter out of the rectum

I find Alkalife on e-Bay This product cost $2900 on the Internet, but I have bought it for $1700 on e-Bay

Homeopathic remedies have been a life -saver for many parents who have been searching for natural cures for their sick or injured children. Homeopathy has been around for hundreds of years now, so there is a lot of information out there about it which can be confusing at first. As a homeopath myself I often teach classes for people with no experience of homeopathy at all, and within a few weeks they are able to prescribe for common ailments themselves.
