As someone who works in the health and wellness industry, I often see clients experiencing constipation, which can be a frustrating and uncomfortable symptom to deal with. However, did you know that constipation can often be a side effect of fasting? In this article, I’ll share my five tried and true tips for relieving constipation, whether it’s caused by fasting or not.
Magnesium is one of the most effective ways to loosen things up in the gut. However, not all magnesium supplements are created equal, and I’ve found that BioOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough is the best for constipation. Another effective technique is vagal nerve stimulation, which can be stimulated through chanting, breathwork, and eye exercises. My go-to app for breathwork is Another Ship, which offers a variety of guided breathing exercises.
MCT oil is another helpful tool for constipation relief, especially if you’re using it to elongate a fast. Just pair it with coffee, which can help dilate the valve that moves food from your minor to your large intestine. Additionally, I recommend incorporating the three P’s into your fasting routine: polyphenols, probiotics, and prebiotic fibers. These can help change your gut microbiome and alleviate constipation.
Ultimately, listening to your body and paying attention to any symptoms you’re experiencing is essential. If you’re struggling with constipation, try implementing some of these tips and see what works best for you. Remember: finding relief without resorting to harsh laxatives or other uncomfortable remedies is possible.
