Get rid of constipation naturally with this homemade drink

Constipation occurs when a person has difficulty emptying the large bowel. Home remedies and
lifestyle changes can often help resolve it, but sometimes, it may need medical attention.

A person feels constipated when the bowel movements don't happen or are not as regular as
they normally are. A lot of us suffer from this problem and the reasons vary from person to
person.

Causes for constipation

Eating low fibre foods

Not drinking enough water

Lack of physical exercise

Due to some medications

Pregnancy

Eating disorders

Consuming too many dairy products

Lemon water as a home remedy for constipation

The citric acid in lemon juice acts as a stimulant to your digestive system and can help flush
toxins from your body, providing constipation relief. Squeeze fresh lemon juice into a glass of
water every morning, or add lemon to tea; you may find that the refreshingly tart water not
only acts as a natural constipation remedy but also that it helps you drink more water each day,
which will improve your long-term digestion. And don't be afraid to warm it up, says the
American Cancer Society, sharing that warm of hot fluids can also be a helpful constipation
treatment.

Apple Juice

Consuming apples may help relieve constipation because they are high in both dietary fiber and
sorbitol.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, one medium apple contains 4.4 g of fiber and
18.91 g of sugar. Apples also contain vitamin C, calcium, and vitamin A, among other nutrients.

Apples also contain pectin, which is a water-soluble fiber that may promote bowel movements.

Apple juice contains relatively high quantities of fructose compared with other fruits. Drinking
large amounts of apple juice can cause digestive discomfort in people who have sensitive
bowels.

Juicing apples also significantly reduces their fiber content, which may make apple juice less
effective than other juices for constipation relief.

Use fresh, locally sourced, organic apples where possible.
