How to Use Citrus Juices to Relieve Constipation

<h1>Citrus Juices</h1>Citrus juices are a constipation remedy that is an excellent way to stimulate your colon and other parts of the body.  Since your colon is less active at night, drinking juices as soon as you awaken and get up can stimulate strong peristaltic action and promote a bowel movement.<br><br><h3>Lemons </h3>Lemons are filled with minerals, especially potassium, Vitamin C, and bioflavonoids.  They have a cleansing action for the entire body.<br>Fresh lemon juice is the king of fruit juices.  It contains citric acid, which acts in the body in a way no other juice does.  First it acts on the liver to build up its enzymes so it can detoxify toxins in the blood.  Then it combines with calcium to form soluble chemical substances.  This makes it effective in removing kidney and pancreatic stones, plack build up along artery walls, and other calcium deposits that occur in the body.<br><br>When the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas are not working right, food digestion is affected.  This in turn will create constipation.<br>Use lemons moderately since they break up oils during digestion and in our body they make oils less available to our cells and joints.<br><br>If you have lemon allergies or ulcers then you should avoid lemon juice.  If you have arthritis lemons are not a good choice. <br><br><h4>Here?s what to do:</h4>Squeeze one lemon into a glass of warm distilled water.  Drink it first thing when you wake up.  Don?t drink anything else for at least 1/2 hour<br>You can use a citrus press to juice the lemon or just squeeze it to get the juice out.<br><br><h3>Grapefruit Juice</h3>Another constipation remedy you can use is drinking a glass of fresh squeezed grapefruit first thing in the morning.  Again wait at least 1/2 hour before you eat anything.<br>If you are taking any anticonvulsant drugs, birth control pills, estrogen, protease inhibitors and even other types of drugs avoid drinking grapefruit juice. It slows the breakdown of certain drugs allowing them to increase in the blood to dangerous levels.<br><br><h3>Grapefruit and Orange Juice</h3>One drink I like in the morning is a combination of grapefruit and orange juice.  Just prepare a half and half drink of these citrus fruits and drink it first thing in the morning.<br><br><br><br>

Constipation Remedy Using Apples and Other Juices

Here are two constipation remedies that you can use for a mild case of constipation and for a chronic case of constipation.

Apple and Pear Juice

If you have a mild case of constipation, you can use this remedy to get results.

Prepare equal amounts of fresh apple and pear juice. Drink this combination when you first wake up and one hour before bedtime.

Juice the pears that are slightly hard. If the pear is ripe, it is best to blend it whole with apple juice to create a thick drink. Using the whole pear will give you additional fiber. Just remove the seeds but do not peel the organic type.

Pears have minerals, vitamins, and chemicals that help to clean out your colon, kidney and to regenerate your blood cells.

Apple Juice and Prune Juice

Here’s a constipation remedy that you can use if you have chronic constipation. In addition to just drinking apple juice, you can accelerate your peristaltic action with prune juice.

Here’s how to do it.

If you have a juicer you can make fresh apple juice and drink 3-4 glasses a day. You can also drink store-bought apple juice but try to get fresh squeezed and not the type that has been flash pasteurized or pasteurized. If you can find fresh apple juice then use flash pasteurized.

Buy your juice in glass containers if possible.

Plastic containers are processed using solvents that stay in the container walls and gradually outgas into the apple juice. This out gassing is more severe when plastic containers are stored in hot places.

To speed up the laxative effects of apple juice, take the following combination first thing in the morning before you have breakfast,

Drink 2-3 cups of prune juice.

After ½ hour, drink one cup of apple juice

Then, 1-hour later drinks another cup of apple juice.

I usually buy my prune juice in a bottle and fresh squeeze my apple juice.

Be prepared to head for the bathroom after you drink your prune juice and your first glass of apple juice. You may need to head to the bathroom soon after you drink prune juice, everyone is different. I have used this combination and have recommended it to my clients and have had good results.

Prune juice by itself is good for constipation. It is a safe, gentle and an effective laxative. Drink a cup in the morning and a cup in the evening. Prune juice contain the substance dihydrophenylisatin, which is responsible for the laxative action. Prunes are also high in iron and are a great supplement if you are anemic or low on iron.

If you add prune juice to your diet, do not drink as much of it as you would when you have constipation. Drink ½ glasses in the morning and perhaps ½ glasses in the evening.
