for those who are irregular (such as myself)
Mixing 1/2 tsp of baking soda in a glass of warm water seriously pushes everything down! Seriously though, I don't even drink half the glass and it works miracles (non-addictive as well!) **DO NOT TAKE WITH FOOD!!! Take on a VERY empty stomach** Probiotics, such as Align, also help, but you can find natural probiotics in many fermented foods! Such as miso, sauerkraut, and yoghurt! These encourage a healthy gut flora which helps your small intestine absorb more nutrients :) Along with including these foods in your diet, adding protein & fibre also encourages your colon to work harder.... Seriously, your large intestine is a lazy piece of shit (no pun intended). These include eggs, oatmeal, flax, chia, prunes, and figs. Seriously skip the laxatives. 125 mL of prune juice will make you sing the next day. Remember: ignore your health, and it'll go away. There's been direct scientific evidence that the health of your gut is linked to the health of your mind! So let your farts out!! If you keep them in, they'll travel up your spine and give you shitty thoughts ;p (something I read at a yoga class).
