Healing digestive system :constipation
A healthy digestive and eliminative system is absolutely fundamental to good physical and mental health. A vast number of chronic degenerative and metabolic diseases are secondary effects of long term malfunctions and abuse of digestive system like asthma, diabetes ,arthritis, heart and vascular disorders, mental disease in short most illness are the outcome of digestive disorder. It is necessary to initially strengthen and rebalance the primary digestive processes, because if the skati or vital energy can be awakened and rebalanced, then regenerative process will start automatically and self- healing will happen itself.
Constipation is a very common chronic disorder of the lower digestive system in which the elimination of solid wastes from the body becomes slow and inefficient. As a result, there is a build-up of digestive and metabolic wastes in the large intestine, resulting a build-up or backlog of the body’s wastes throughout the body tissues. The body begins to be poisoned by the build-up of its own wastes. This is rendering their bodily systems toxic and impure and their minds dull, listless and heavy. Simultaneously , their vitality and resistance to infection and degenerative diseases becomes very slow.
A number of factors have combined to place modern men and women in this predicament. these include:
Sedentary lifestyle: working on the office deck for whole day or watching TV on the couch leads to muscular stiffness, joint inflexibility, circulatory stagnation and blockage of pranic energy flow in the body.
Lack of proper exercise: many people today are either to busy,lazy or preoccupied to enjoy even a few minutes walk or exercise in their daily routine.
Poor dietary habits: the quality of whatever enters the body via mouth surely plays a decisive role in the quantity of the wastes expelled from the other end of the digestive tract. a diet which not contain enough of bulk or fiber is difficult to digest and hard stool or constipation is the result.
Toilet position: the modern commode style toilet position for bowel evacuation is not the optimal one.it contributes to constipation.
Mental constipation: constipation is not only physical condition , it is also a state of mind. A person whose thinking and lifestyle are uninspired, listless and non-creative is a frequent sufferer from sluggish digestion and constipation. Similarly, fixed ideas and inflexible opinions, stubbornness and the inability to accept changes gracefully, often characterize the individual who accepts constipation as a fact of life.
If some time is devoted in the morning to a simple asana program and an evening walk is incorporated into the daily routine, the problem is often eliminated.
