GENTLE HELP FOR CONSTIPATION FROM BIOHARMONY
April 2009

Your digestive system and its daily functioning is your body's "health status quo" gauge. It is the judge and the jury which determines whether you are eating and drinking correctly for your body's particular needs. Bad eating habits can cause a reaction in your gut, resulting in poor digestion, reduced absorption and irregular elimination.

Constipation is the common and unpleasant result. It interferes with many aspects of daily lives including mood, mobility, work and recreation time.

To treat and prevent constipation ensure a diet high in fibre-rich foods and plenty of liquids. The bulk and soft texture of foods such as fruit, vegetables, beans and seeds moisten waste products allowing for easy elimination.

By adding the herbs cascara - nature's herbal laxative and cinnamon which is soothing on the tummy - as found in Bioharmony's Bio-Colon Clear during times of unhealthy eating and irregular bowel movements can also help to regulate the sensitive digestive system.

Avoid refined foods, sugar, salt and alcohol as well as strong stimulant laxatives which can cause damage to the bowel often making constipation worse in the long-term.

All stimulant laxatives should be used as a temporary measure for constipation and should not be used for longer than 6 week periods, unless otherwise prescribed by a healthcare professional.

Bioharmony's Bio-Colon Clear is available from Dis-chem stores, Clicks, most leading pharmacies and health shops countrywide. For more information on constipation and supplementation visit www.bioharmony.co.za.
