Daily Must

Chinese medicine regards elimination as more important than eating. Daily elimination of stool to get rid of stagnant and bad energy is vital to health. Constipation can lead to swelling of the abdomen, blocking of intestines, bad breathe, skin eruptions, rectal and colon diseases.

Drinking plenty of water and eating lots of high fiber vegetables promotes fast and easy movement of foods. Cabbages, sweet potatoes, bananas and most Chinese vegetables are very effective.

Developing the daily elimination routine in the morning is most suitable and healthy. Drinking a cup of water upon waking up will help. People with such good habits have better skin and complexions, slimmer waistlines, good appetites and are full of energy. They are less likely to have digestive problems or diseases. People with frequent constipation should increase their intake of fresh fruits and vegetables and a laxative should be used when necessary to correct the problem.
