Starting to Review Dr Natura's Colonix

Following a lot of delays from various reasons, today I will start using Dr. Natura's Colonix and post weekly updates on the product. I have only purchased a set for one month - since I have never done such a colon cleansing before, I did not want to go for the full three months package before knowing how my body reacts to it.

Anyway, the idea is that, starting today, I hope to get rid of my annoying constipation and finally get it going and feel better with myself. Stay tuned as I will update my Colonix experience regularly and I will personally tell you if it is a scam or not. I truly hope it's not, because I'm running out of options with my IBS :) Stay healthy!

Self-inducted Constipation

The irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and constipation usually go hand in hand and constipation is one of the most common problems in the world today. Although general causes for it are multiple and generally based on the lifestyle of the subject or other health problems, constipation can also be self-inducted, and that is probably the biggest problem, since constipation is one of the biggest pains in one’s arse (pun intended).

So, what does self-inducted constipation mean and why is it so bad? Well, there is not really a definition for this, but I think it’s pretty self-explanatory: it is represented by the delay of defecation from various reasons. For example, I had a friend that could only defecate in his own WC and nowhere else, so whenever he went on a trip or vacation, he kept taking constipation pills to keep him going. Results? He now has IBS, he’s always constipated, he gained fat and is in a generally bad condition.

Another example of self-inducted constipation: myself. When I got my first job, I found out that the bathroom was located in the vicinity of a big office where about ten people were working. Basically, just the bathroom door was separating the two rooms, so whenever I felt the need for a bowel movement, I delayed it because I was pretty ashamed of the smell that could follow and the reaction of my colleagues. Results? Big problems with constipation today, irritable bowel syndrome and a small gain in weight. Fortunately, unlike my friend, I have learned how bad for one’s health is this self-inducted constipation and started to right the wrongs.

So please, have in mind: if you feel the need to go to the bathroom, go for it! Do not self-induct your constipation, whatever the reasons are. Because, ultimately, it’s all about your health. And there is nothing on this world more important than maintaining your good health!

Constipation, a No-Good!

One of the most visible things that prove that there are problems with the abdomen is constipation. According to medical definitions, it is a of the digestive system in which a person experiences hard feces that are difficult to expel and sometimes even painful. Of course, you probably know that, since I doubt there is a adult in this world who had no such problems. However, we’re not talking about the occasional constipation here, but about that one which is presenting health problems.

Usually, constipation and colon health are strongly linked, since hard feces result out of a slow intestinal tract, which causes the colon to entirely drain the water out of the aliments. Even if it is not linked with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), constipation can have severe side-effects, the most severe of them being bowel obstruction.

However, constipation itself, if not caused or kept “alive” by other diseases, is pretty easy to handle and prevent. Consuming aliments rich in fiber (fruits, vegetables, and grains, both as solid food and as juice), magnesium salts or slow doses or laxative can do wonders for our body and digestive system. Also, exercises and practicing daily sports will help the bowel movements, thus facilitating digestion and elimination constipation.

Remember! It’s easier to prevent than to cure. Don’t let your life be destroyed by the belief that “I’m young, nothing can happen to me”. Health is the most important thing in the world. Trust me, now I know!

Please note

All the advice offered here is based on personal experience (I am fighting against IBS, gastritis, ulcers and acute constipation). I am by no means a doctor and nor should my advice be taken for granted. Even though I am 100% sure what I say is correct, please take my articles only as guidelines and contact a medic for proper diagnosis and treatment for all your colon or abdomen related problems: irritable bowel syndrome, ulcers, gastritis, as well as any symptoms you have. Stay healthy!
