Health Issues For Senior Citizens - Bladder Control Problems

If you are one of those people that are regularly suffering from a need for constipation relief, you may think that it is “just your lot in life” to have this struggle and there is nothing that you can do about it other than to try out a number of different constipation relief options.

This is not true. In addition to looking for constipation relief remedies, you can also work to help your body be less likely to develop constipation in the first place. This has to do with the foods you eat. There are a lot of foods that are good for your digestive health and there are plenty more that are very bad for your digestive health. We're going to take a look at the bad ones here and why you may want to avoid them.

White Breads – While you may love your bagel for breakfast or daily sandwiches on white bread, it may be time to make a little switch to the diet that you are ingesting. The simple truth is that the white flour that is used in things like bagels, pizza dough, doughnuts, pancakes, and other white bread items are not digestively friendly. They are starches with no fiber. That means they can essentially become like paste in your digestive tract, sticking to the walls of your intestines and causing more of your constipation issues. You need to be purchasing whole grain breads instead as they have that fiber your body needs to aid in digestion.

White Rice and Rice Noodles – In much the same way that white bread is not so good for you, neither is white rice. Again, it's the refining process that has taken all of that good fiber out of the rice and left you with just a starchy mess that is waiting to block things up and have you once again needing constipation relief. Try keeping your eyes open for more natural rice or even other alternatives like Quinoa.



Semolina Pasta – Here again we have the same issue. Semolina pasta while tasty is also digestively a mess that can leave you wanting constipation relief. It has had any good features pulled out of it in the refinement process and you are left with more starch. Instead you want to look for whole grain pastas that are still full of fiber.

White Potatoes – You know those French fries you love? Time to pass them by. Anything made from white potatoes is once again just starch and nothing useful. Instead, try sweet potatoes, which are much better for you and can even make great fries.

What can I do? (and love it?)

Fresh fruit, especially in the morning. Fresh fruit (blackberries, strawberries, apples in Yogurt, sprinkled with granola and all topped off with a little REAL Maple syrup. Mmm, I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!

At dinner time eat more fresh vegetables. Steamed is much more beneficial than cooked (you don’t kill the enzymes needed for the digestion process).
