Constipation

Constipation or irregularity is a condition of the digestive system and one of the most common digestive complaints. The nature of the condition varies greatly among people.

Causes of constipation may be dietary, anatomical, hormonal, a side effect from medication or an illness or disorder.

The primary reason one should be concerned about constipation is because the stool contains the waste products the body is trying to excrete and therefore prolongs the body's exposure to these wastes.

To relieve constipation one has a number of options to choose from. The first line of options can be categorized as lifestyle ones and include diet and exercise. Diet and exercise can go along way towards relieving constipation for most people. It is amazing the results a person can get by simply taking a 30 minute walk everyday and drinking 8-10 glasses of water per day. Please note that that if your tap water is chlorinated, dinking 8-10 glasses per day may contribute to constipation as the chlorine negatively affects your intestinal flora.

If diet and exercise is not sufficient as a solution you may want to consider Vita Biosa®. Vita Biosa® contains a selection of 7 different microbial cultures which invigorates the gut flora and loosens the stool. In addition to loosening the stool, Vita Biosa® also aids in the digestion of food and is full of antioxidants which traps free radicals that otherwise cause cell damage.

How Does Vita Biosa® Help?

Beneficial bacteria are necessary to prevent us from being sick. If they are missing from our skin, we get infections and skin diseases. If beneficial bacteria are missing from the walls of our intestines, we would die rather quickly from infections because of loss of resistance of our immune system would no longer be stimulated by the bacteria in our intestines. Probiotics are normal, healthy microorganisms from Mother Nature. They are essential for good digestion and for proper functioning of the intestines, for a correct and uncomplicated assimilation of food and for resistance to disease. Modern food does not provide us with sufficient beneficial bacteria, mainly because we generally fry, roast and cook our food excessively. Even modern dairy products like yogurt or similar sour-milk products have too much sugar in them, which feed candida and other infections. If we were to only eat fish and raw natural foods not contaminated or damaged by pesticides, long-term storage, pasteurization, preservatives and other additives, and if we lived in a natural, non-polluted environment, we wouldn't need probiotic's. We'd cultivate a healthy gut flora with our daily diet.

With the modern lifestyle, full of processed foods, unbalanced diet, excessive caffeine consumption and stress should augment their diet Vita Biosa® to maintain a strong, healthy gut flora.
