The typical American diet consists of processed pork for breakfast, fast food lunch on the go, and pizza or meatloaf for dinner. With this type of diet it is only a matter of time before you become constipated.


One way to change this unhealthy cycle is to change your diet to more fruit and vegetables, increase your water, and many other dietary improvements. But how can massage therapy improve your bowel function?

In the video below A massage therapist demonstrates how to perform an abdominal massage for constipation. I know from my own practice, that massage techniques can improve your constipation in as little as one session.

When you use a juicer you are getting all of the health benefits of fruit and vegetables, but the nutrition is more absorbed because of it being freed from the fiber or pulp.


Popular items to juice are apples, carrots, ginger,green food. It is a great ally in the battle against weight loss.

One of the reasons that using a juicer has such great health benefits, is that it is fresh, and has not been sitting around in the store for months.

Another reason juicing is so great for you is that the juice is not pasteurized, which helps it maintain all of the living enzymes in the food.
