Try a combination of oatmeal and flax meal. Flax meal is ground flax seeds, which are extremely rich in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. You can further increase the fiber factor by stirring in some raisins. Dried fruit is very high in fiber too.

Learn More »Defining constipation It’s not a popular topic of conversation, but being constipated can be uncomfortable and even painful. If you have fewer than three bowel movements in a week, then you’re considered to have constipation. If you’re used to having at least one bowel movement per day, missing just one can make you extremely uncomfortable. Occasional constipation is relatively common and can be brought on by medications, dietary changes, or even stress. Constipation is chronic when it continues for weeks or even longer. In either case, home remedies may be effective. Finding the best remedies There are many solutions for constipation, including over-the-counter and prescription drugs. They act as stimulants, lubricants, and softeners, all in an attempt to make it easier to have a bowel movement. But there are also solutions in your kitchen or medicine cabinet. Some of these homemade laxative recipes use similar methods, including increasing your fiber intake with fiber-rich foods, and lubricating your digestive system with oil. On the plus side, home remedies can be gentler on your digestive tract and easier on your budget. 2. Castor oil and juice Castor oil tastes pretty horrible, but the results are fast. You can expect relief from constipation within two to six hours of taking it, so it’s best to take it when you have some time to spend at home. Pregnant women shouldn’t take castor oil. To mask the taste, keep your castor oil in the refrigerator and add your dose to a glass of orange juice. 3. Mixed dried fruit Everyone knows prunes are good for digestive health, but eating several prunes can feel a lot like taking medicine. Consider adding pureed or baby prunes to various dishes such as oatmeal. Mix things up by adding other high-fiber dried fruits such as apricots and raisins. Dried figs are another great option. Eat them as a snack or with your breakfast. 4. Lots and lots of water Okay, it’s not really a recipe, but there’s nothing that can get things moving like simple hydration. Constipation largely happens because the colon has absorbed too much fluid from the waste in your intestines, leaving dry and hard stool behind. Staying hydrated can both prevent constipation and get things moving again.

Learn More »Beetroot juice stands among the most heart healthy juices. The high nitrate content of beet juice actually widens the blood vessels when it enters the body and studies suggest that blood pressure is lowered within 1 hour of ingestion.
Kathleen, from Nourish Juice Cafe, is back to share the best juice ingredients for heart health. Read her last guest post here. There is no single elixir for heart and blood vessel health, but a handful of juices lead the heart health pack in giving your cardiovascular system a significant and scientifically proven boost. Beetroot juice stands among the most heart healthy juices. The high nitrate content of beet juice actually widens the blood vessels when it enters the body and studies suggest that blood pressure is lowered within 1 hour of ingestion. Instead of starting your day with orange juice, drink a 16 oz glass of beet juice for a heart healthy boost to your day. Spinach, broccoli and kale may also give an extra boost to your heart. These are high in carotenoids, which act as antioxidants and free your body of potentially harmful compounds. They’re also high in fiber and contain tons of vitamins and minerals. Kale also has some omega-3 fatty acids. Citrus fruits, particularly oranges and lemons, contain flavanoids that neutralize free radicals and help protect against heart disease. Studies show citrus flavanoids may improve blood flow through coronary arteries, reducing the ability of arteries to form blood clots and prevent the oxidation of LDL (bad) cholesterol, which is the first step in the formation of artery plaques. Nourish Juice Café offers many tasty heart healthy juices using beetroot, spinach, kale , lemon, and orange. All organic and made fresh to order. Come try one today, and ask about your discount card when you make your first purchase!
