Constipation
Magnesium Can Help

Magnesium - the best help for constipation?

Constipation is a problem faced by millions.

However, constipation is not a subject that you are likely to find many people talking about in everyday life. To some it is a rare occurrence; to others it is a recurring nightmare.

Laxatives: dangerous and habit forming

There are several different types of laxatives that are available. Laxatives purchased over the counter and are generally classified as stimulant laxatives. Stimulant laxatives stimulate the colon muscle to contract and push the waste on its way. This sounds wonderful in theory, but what happens when constipation is chronic?

If a person takes a stimulant laxative on a regular basis, it can lead to “lazy colon”. Without outside stimulation, the colon isn't able to contract enough to push waste through.

It is best to only use stimulant laxatives as an absolute last resort. For chronic constipation, a better approach is to:  

     •    Eat a well balanced diet complete with plenty of healthy fiber
     •    Stay hydrated by consuming enough water and other liquids
           every day
     •    Exercise on a regular basis
     •    Go when you feel the urge to go

Dealing with Ongoing Constipation

When a person follows the above conventional wisdom and constipation persists, is there another option?

Magnesium, the supplement

There are many vitamins and minerals that help us to maintain good health; magnesium is one of the key ones. 

Magnesium is an essential nutrient. It promotes healthy muscles and overall physical health.

Magnesium may help to boost energy, keep teeth and bones strong and healthy, and contribute to the health of the nervous system.

Magnesium, the constipation remedy

For quite some time magnesium has been associated with constipation relief.

Because of magnesium’s importance to the body, it may be the perfect constipation solution.

While it is true that the active ingredient in products like Milk of Magnesia and Epson Salt is magnesium, these products are only recommended for occasional use.

A Long-term Remedy?

A sea mineral supplement high in magnesium

What did my wife and I start taking back in 2006 that helped us so much? It was ionic sea minerals, an all natural mineral supplement.

We took it because it provided all 76 minerals and trace minerals found naturally in the ocean. We later learned that the 106% of the recommended daily allowance of magnesium may solve constipation problems.

Preventing Constipation

Since this sea mineral supplement is intended to be used every day, the magnesium it contains may just prevent constipation.

A teaspoon a day added to grape juice, carrot juice, a glass of chocolate milk, or a quart of lemonade to drink throughout the day may just do the trick.

Health benefits of a sea mineral supplement

My wife and I started taking the sea minerals because of their trace mineral content. We believe these are an important key to good health. Many of these trace minerals are no longer found in most foods.

There are so many reasons to take a sea mineral supplement. For constipation sufferers, however, they only need to know that it may be the perfect solution for regular, soft bowel movements.

Considering the alternatives, it makes sense to give it a try today!
