How to Cure Constipation


I got this article from Dr Charles and Lori and the Fat Loss Factor and usually wouldn’t bother publishing it but it is actually a really good article of four easy tips to get rid of constipation. I can vouch for these as they help me as well to stay “regular”

A case of constipation usually means that you’ve had one or fewer bowel-movements in a typical day. This might happen because you’ve just changed your diet from bad food to good food. Your body has to adjust to the different food, so you have to give your body time to get used to it.


Another common cause for constipation is dehydration. If you don’t take in the proper amount of water every day, you will have trouble with your colon being unable to push waste out.

What is so bad about being constipated is all that awful stuff that your body naturally gets rid of stays in side you. This causes discomfort, fatigue, and even weight retention. This condition is like a buildup of poison inside of you: it can cause problems if you let it go too long. So what can you do when you’re constipated to correct the situation? I have some natural and healthy suggestions for this.

Drink more water. You should be taking in about half your body’s weight in fluid ounces of water. This means that if you weigh 230 lbs, you should be drinking 115 ounces of water daily.


Use flaxseed as an additive to your meals. You can mix a tablespoon of it into your food to give you more fiber ( to help get you moving) and Omega 3s as well.

Raw food is important. This means you should eat one piece of fresh fruit or raw veggies. Your system will benefit from the natural ingredients in raw foods that are usually lost when they are cooked.

Begin your day with a tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix it in water and add some Cayenne. This mixture will stimulate your system and help clear out your colon.

Signs and Symptoms of a Yeast Infection



What are the Signs and Symptoms of a Yeast Infection. A yeast infection is a condition that is also called candidiasis or candida. It is a fungal infection that can be spread from one to the other during sexual relations. So, knowing what the signs and symptoms of a yeast infection are will help to protect you and your partner.

Itching, Itching and More Itching

One of the signs and symptoms of a yeast infection is the itching that persists and soon begins to burn because of all the itching. With the yeast infection, you will have a white looking drainage (thick) or discharge that can have an odor, and it itches like crazy. You keep itching, itching and itching, which doesn’t take long to make it burn.

The itching in a yeast infection reminds me of the cartoon with Porky Pig and his dog. The dog had fleas that were biting him, and he was scratching, scratching and continually scratching. Porky warned him not to do it anymore or he would get a bath, which he didn’t want, because he was a dog. But, he couldn’t take anymore, so he got on the floor and was scooting so fast, just to itch it.

Well, the signs and symptoms of a yeast infection does the same thing and is very irritating and will make you feel miserable because of the itching, burning and uncomfortableness of it.

Signs and Symptoms of a Yeast Infection

Another one of the signs and symptoms of a yeast infection is the pain that may be associated when having intercourse. You could experience some form of discomfort during the sexual relations, but the good part is it is treatable and curable, only irritating.

For a man, the signs and symptoms of a yeast infection are different, besides the itching. There are problems in the digestive tract with loose or stopped up bowels, breath that has an odor, fatigue and more. In a man, the yeast infection can go into his body through the urethra, which could travel to his stomach, prostrate and other areas.

The signs and symptoms of a yeast infection will speak loudly for a woman, especially the itching with burning and icky discharge. But, they are different for men. The best thing to do is to become knowledgeable of the signs and symptoms, so you will know what and how to deal with it, if you need to do so.

Migraines and Pregnancy

The link between migraines and pregnancy has been observed for quite some time now. Women without any prior history of migraines can suddenly find themselves experiencing splitting headaches. Migraines and pregnancy can be quite a difficult ailment to deal with. While pregnancy can contribute to migraines, typical headache cures can’t always be used due to the pregnancy.

Learning how migraines and pregnancy are linked can help in preventing these pains from occurring in the first place. If you do experience migraines while pregnant, you’ll also learn how to safely and effectively deal with them.

Linking Migraines and Pregnancy

Saying pregnancy is a drastic change can be quite the understatement. During this time, your body undergoes physical and chemical and hormonal changes. You can become quite sensitive to food or changes which didn’t give you migraines before. Your body will respond to changes differently now. While hormones can be a likely cause of this change, there are other several factors which contribute to migraines while pregnant.

Here are some common causes of migraines during pregnancy:

* Chocolate
* Dairy products (cheese, etc.)
* Coffee
* Dehydration
* Fatigue
* Stress
* Changes in weather

If you find yourself experiencing migraines during pregnancy, it can be helpful to keep track of when these episodes happened and what you were doing at that time. You can then make the connection between these occurrences and your migraines. Keep a diary or log to help you out with this. Check if the items above correspond with migraine attacks or headaches.

Remedies For Migraines And Pregnancy

For migraines and pregnancy, prevention of these headaches is always better than going for medication. Some of the best ways to avoid getting migraines are getting enough rest, eating right and regularly and drinking plenty of fluids. If you’ve kept a log of the likely culprits of migraines, you can also work to avoid these triggers or activities.

When these migraines occur, you should be ready as well to combat them. You can do this without taking medication. If you experience migraines, you should sit or lie down and rest. You may experience relief from applying cold packs to your head or affected areas such as the temples or the back of the neck.

Breathing exercises and relaxation techniques can also help. They can help circulate the blood better to lessen headaches and pains. Light exercise can be good for migraines as well. A soft and relaxing massage can also help, therapeutic or whole body massages however are not always advised.

Aspirin and other NSAID (not steroidal anti ?inflammatory drugs) may have side effects for pregnant women. Try to avoid these as much as possible. Acetaminophen, beta blockers and some anti-depressants are relatively low risk for pregnant women. All medication however should be doctor recommended during pregnancy.

Consult with your doctor for other remedies as well as ask about the therapies you are considering taking. Knowing more about migraines and pregnancy can help you have an easier and safer time during pregnancy.
