I love chips, dips, cookies, brownies, pie, canolies, wine, and coffee, and I had all of those yesterday. My wife knows how to use moderation–I overate of course.
This morning I was still full, and of course could not have a bowel movement. It was a great party, and I was going to pay the price. Constipation is a drag. But alas, I know what to do.
- Skip breakfast. Have some warm water with a quarter lemon squeezed into it
- Take a nice long and relaxed walk
- Do stretching, yoga, meditation etcetera and don’t work hard in the morning
- Brew some sweet vegetable drink and consume mid morning
- Make miso soup, brown rice, veg and a pickle for lunch. I had some sweet vegetable jam on hand, you could substitute some boiled or steamed broccoli or cauliflower. Don’t overeat and chew very well.
- Try to have a bowel movement when you urinate. Should work after lunch, or before dinner.
- Have a light dinner, no dairy or meat, well cooked organic vegetables, and whole grain noodles or millet, buckwheat, barley, whole wheat couscous, oats or corn. Have a pickle afterwards
- Resolve to eat less and earlier on Thanksgiving.
- Remember to take a long slow walk every morning
- Self massage or daily body rub is suggested
Enjoy!!
