Regular Bowel Movements for Clear Skin



Having regular bowel movements is not something that is usually associated with anti aging skin care, however it should be.

To have great skin you need to have proper elimination. That’s a fact!

There is nothing sexy about 'having one' except for the fact that regular movements helps keep your skin clear. There are some things you might not typically think about that affect how your skin looks though.

Melissa Gilbert image Melissa Gilbert sure knows the benefits of having great skin! She's been a spokeswoman for a number of Guthy Renker products for sometime. I also bet she'd be the first one to agree, that you are what you eat and what you expel!

Its a mystery why as a society we don't talk about them more! After all, they're a fact of life just like everything else.

Things like drinking lots of water, taking anti aging vitamins, using hydrating lotions, and getting regular massage can help keep your skin looking great. One part of regular skin care that is often overlooked, is good digestion and good elimination.

Regular Bowel Movements for Clear Skin

Truth is, you just have a better day when you start it off by getting rid of waste products that are hanging out in your body. That's a fact! If you don't have good elimination each day, you even feel toxic, know what I mean?

When excess waste products are not eliminated from your body regularly, they flood toxins into your body. The toxins have no where to go, so they build up in your system. Since your skin is also responsible for elimination, it will try to assist your body by trying to eliminate the accumulating toxins. You can even break out with lots more zits and have unexplained skin rashes when you don't have regular bowel movements!

Having regular bowel movements is your first line of defense against dangerous toxins. If you are constipated or not having regular movements, your skin will look naturally unhealthy. No rosy cheeks for you!

When waste putrefies in the colon, it releases toxins that can reabsorb into your bloodstream and cause damage to other parts of your body. Auto-intoxication affects your liver the most, and symptoms can include anything from mood changes and irritability to more chronic conditions.

Your blood is also affected as the liver’s filtering job becomes impaired and this can have a negative effect on the whole body.You may think that its not a problem for you but if you are not having more than one bowel movement daily, then its affecting you too!

Having regular bowel movements without being dependent on laxatives is an essential part of basic skin care. When your body becomes toxic, your skin can become sallow and look unhealthy.

Health experts suggest that everyone include lots of high fiber foods in their daily diet. Eat more fibrous foods and take products that have natural psyllium husks. Take Metamucil type products or other fiber products daily if you don't have regular bowel movements. Even if you have regular movements, it's good sense to include more fiber in your diet anyway, to keep things moving at an optimum. You can also quickly and easily detoxify your liver by mixing a few simple ingredients.

Toxins

Toxin exposure falls into 4 main categories:

  • Environmental toxins
  • Household toxins
  • Food toxins
  • Lifestyle toxins

    To eliminate toxins found in your body, drink plenty of water, sweat a lot by exercising or using steam baths, take antioxidants, eat healthy foods, and do regular skin brushing.

    High Fiber Foods to Improve Bowel Movements


    (from highest fiber content to lowest)


    Lentils
    Black Beans
    Lima Beans
    Baked Beans
    Peas
    Brussel Sprouts
    Whole Wheat Spaghetti
    Pears
    Bran Flakes
    Turnip Greens
    Baked Potato w/ Skin OR Sweet Potato w/out Skin
    Corn
    Oatmeal



    Try and get more of these foods in your diet if you feel you need more fiber in it. If you suffer from chronic constipation, be sure to include more high fiber in your diet and less saturated fat and processed foods. If you have a risk of cancer in your family genes, be sure to include lots of these foods to help detoxify your bowels and keep them running at an optimum. Most diseases start in the bowels. Be sure to cleanse your body regularly to reduce your risks. More fiber in your diet also helps you lose weight!

    Of course, everyone thinks that fiber is boring! Truth is, that it doesn't have to be. Here are some great food suggestions to help you include more fiber in your daily diet!

    Fun Fibrous Foods

    Plain Popcorn (Lightly Salted)
    Cereal (with or without milk)
    Oatmeal
    Salad
    Salsa and chips
    Apple slices or celery sticks with peanut butter
    Unprocessed nuts
    Raisins
    Yogurt
    Popsicles (they contain water and/or fruit juice)
    Multigrain or natural chips

    You don’t always have to eat a bowl of beans to get your fiber. However, here's how to fix a great bowl of beans and here are healthy snacks you can make at home.

    Your skin is the last organ of elimination. If good bowel elimination is not a problem for you and you still have skin problems, try detoxifying your liver first. When your liver is toxic, the toxins in your body come out through your skin. When you detoxify your liver, your skin is more likely to return to normal.

    If you have regular acne breakouts, try a raw foods diet. There are few reported cases of acne in people who live in areas that eat mainly raw foods.

    The Standard American Diet is full of processed foods, high salt, and junk foods, that could very well cause acne and play a major part in chronic constipation! When you have better bowel movements, you help to get rid of the toxins in your body and your skin will clear up and look great!
