A Morning Smoothie to Help You Stop Constipation
By: Rudy Silva
Chronic constipation can be hard to stop or elimination, since the colon have become weak. In most cases it will have to be retrained on how to have a bowel movement. For those of you that have mild constipation, here is a morning smoothie that will help activate your colon. This smoothie is packed with nutrients that your body will use to regenerate your colon and body. I have been making this smoothie for a few years. I make enough to drink right away and to put into my thermos to drink around 10am. When I make this drink I just start putting things in the blender without measuring. You can do the same and make adjustments as you go. * one peeled banana * 4-5 strawberries or other type of berries, or fruits * one tablespoon of lecithin granules * one – two teaspoons of flax seed oil * half and half almond milk and apple juice * in a coffee grinder, grind up around a teaspoon or less of the following: * brown sesame seeds - are high in lecithin, vitamin C, E, and Calcium. They improve liver function and help in constipation * sunflower seeds - are high protein, Calcium, and iron. They are one of the best natural foods which feeds the entire body. * flax seeds - are high in fiber and provide bulk for your stools. * almonds - use around 6-7 or more. They are high in Calcium, Phosphorus and have some B-vitamins. Only eat a few.They are high in calories. After grinding the seeds, place them in the blender and blender everything for about 3-4 minutes. If you need a little sweetness, you can add a small amount of honey. I find this drink plenty sweet without any honey. Sometimes I will add the powder of a few acidophilus capsules.If I don’t add the almonds, I just put all the tiny seed into the blender without grinding them up. The blender will break them up. This is a powerful smoothie to give you morning power and to activate your colon to get moving. Rudy Silva has a degree in Physics and is a Natural Nutritionist.

How to Benefit from the Mind-Body Connection
(excerpt)
You are about to gain insight into the
mind-body connection. The number of
people who truly understand these principles on our
planet are relatively few.
There is an undeniable connection between our minds and
bodies, you can learn
to use this fact to your benefit.
Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of "Love, Medicine and
Miracles" was once a
distraught cancer surgeon until he
began to understand the greater principles
of the mind-
body connection. He felt dragged down by the artificial
barriers
that existed between patient and doctor, and the
helplessness he often felt as
a result of his inability
to effectively serve those patients. Eventually, those
barriers
were disintegrated by Dr. Siegel's recognition
and growing understanding of the
mind-body connection and
how it could serve his patients and himself.
Dr. Siegel, or Bernie as he began to have his patients
refer to him, had some
startling realizations as a cancer surgeon. He found that
there were actually
quite a few people in the world that successfully beat
the statistics on cancer
survival. He began to recognize that a patient's ability
to defeat something as
serious as cancer had to do with the patient's mind and
attitude about their
disease.
