When constipation is due to a weakened liver

Constipation is one of the evils of our day, mainly due to excessively refined food and with few fruits and vegetables, or by emotional issues. But there is also a cause that we must know to avoid constipation while many remedies have failed: a weakened liver.
In this article you will learn how you can resolve constipation when the origin is a liver that doesn't work correctly, and thus also prevent many other health problems.

The causes of constipation

We review the most common causes that cause constipation

• Abuse of refined foods and lack of whole foods and rich in fiber, particularly in cereals, flours, pastry, etc.
• Low fruit and vegetable consumption, very rich in fiber
• Lack of hydration, due to the small amount of water we eat outside of meals
• Emotional issues that directly affect our intestine
• Abuse of laxatives in the past, drugs that may have irritated bowel
• Lesions in the intestinal tract, case in which we recommend to consult with a physician to rule out other more serious health problems

When is the cause the liver

Both the liver and the intestine part of the digestive tract. Liver bile which manufactures pours (and stored in the gallbladder) in the small intestine, which helps dissolve fats and thus facilitate the digestive process. The pancreas is also essential in this process, since if it facilitates the digestion of proteins and sugars, starting in the stomach.
In this way, the function of the liver is essential in the digestive process to facilitate the evacuation. In fact, proof that not we're digesting well fats is faeces floating in the toilet, instead of falling to the bottom. And another test is the difficulties to evacuate just after high fat meals or when we dined in abundance, since the liver is an organ that regenerates overnight, and so has to complete digestion.

How we regulate our liver

The liver is the largest organ and one of the most important thing we have. Its functions include the transform food into energy, eliminate toxins and help the process of digestion. In addition, our bad habits, poor nutrition or negative emotions harm it directly.
To treat them naturally and prevent constipation and other diseases will have to follow advice:

• Increase consumption of healthy fats: vegetable's first pressure in cold, nuts, avocado, oily fish, egg yolk, clarified butter oils.
• Avoid processed foods that contain artificial additives (preservatives, colourings, flavourings)

Coffee enemas

It is very important to use organic roasted and powdered coffee. 1 litre of water with three tablespoons of coffee, boil 5 minutes over high heat and 15 minutes over low heat. It will be filtered until there are no coffee grounds. Once it is warm, use half a liter to the Enema, lying on the right side and trying to stand 10 to 15 minutes.
