Those, I think, are much more excellent for bowel movements than bananas.myorganicjourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00696181467806967024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978644770796785778.post-29559389701562308042013-03-23T12:09:12.464+08:002013-03-23T12:09:12.464+08:00Hey guys!

However, I tend to suffer from pimple outbursts once in a while. I noticed that whenever i have these pimples its usually on a hot afternoon when i’m extremely dehydrated after school and hence constipated. I also noticed that after pooping my pimples which were like extremely oily and swollen became much softer and drier. I feel cooler as well. It’s almost like a magical cure. I recommend those with pimples to hydrate themselves not just with water but also with fruits with both fiber and water such as papayas and pink dragon fruit. These fruits are awesome for bowel movement.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08510091867142835757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978644770796785778.post-11529798501563552032012-07-23T13:29:47.846+08:002012-07-23T13:29:47.846+08:00Good for you that you address the problem and have...Good for you that you address the problem and have since made a progressive changes!Keep it up.

I spent hours on the internet nightly trying to figure out what I could have possibly done. I started thinking about what else had changed. Was there anything else that was different?<br /><br />I started to try and make connections. Did I have any other health issues? I soon realized that I did. I was constipated. I had a really hard time having a bowel movement. I tried to think back to when I didn't have acne. There was one point in my life where skin seemed to practically glow. I had been eating bananas daily. <br /><br />So, I made a few quick and easy changes. I stopped using chemicals on my skin and started putting lotion on everyday. I also started to eat bananas regularly again, and strangely enough, slowly but surely, my constipation went away and my acne along with it.<br /><br />I still eat a banana almost everyday, and I haven't had a problem since.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978644770796785778.post-9420778393722460952012-01-11T21:16:25.731+08:002012-01-11T21:16:25.731+08:00Hmm...phytofiber drink?

I nearly bought a whole jar of another organic based phytofiber mix but was reluctant due to the price. Now, I am exploring supplements...<br />Haha...thanks for your description on your toilet agony. I can feel your pain already. I once took Ducolax and the pain is excruciating! I even had cold sweats in the toilet. Tot I was going to faint!<br />I've read your intro on your blood type diet detox, which is very interesting. Waiting for your continuation post. I am dreaming of having 'full toilet bowl' like yours too!:Dmyorganicjourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00696181467806967024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978644770796785778.post-69125601724383419082012-01-11T19:43:44.008+08:002012-01-11T19:43:44.008+08:00the drink was made in malaysia, my mom gave it to ...the drink was made in malaysia, my mom gave it to me. forgot the name, but it's a phytofiber drink. it contains psyllium husk which is like a natural laxative... but every time i take it, i break bricks and tiles in my toilet (lol, due to the pain) so I always remind myself not to take it again. but i still go back to it during emergencies :D<br /><br />but from experience, good diet rich in fiber and lots of water really works miracles without giving me pain. doc said that lots of fiber without enough water is the worst combo. this might be a bit too visual, but when i went for the blood type diet detox (i was categorized as vegetarian so had to take mostly veggies), i'd never seen the toilet bowl so, err, full every day. but i felt great! <br /><br />and i also have to keep to a fixed sched (fixed sched of sleeping, most especially) or else my toilet schedule's affected too. really troublesome tummy. :SEcoBeauty Vivihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851436849391108249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978644770796785778.post-50537963403404428162012-01-10T22:13:02.744+08:002012-01-10T22:13:02.744+08:00Gosh, the fiber drink must be pretty powerful.:P I...Gosh, the fiber drink must be pretty powerful.:P Is it a weekly or a once a month thing? <br /><br />I am the same as you. If I were to miss a day,I can only go the next day or worse, the day after. So, you can imagine how irritated and bloated that result to. <br /><br />Am looking into another alternative now which is taking natural supplements to aid in getting rid of toxin build ups.myorganicjourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00696181467806967024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978644770796785778.post-1826420824100950862012-01-10T17:10:16.880+08:002012-01-10T17:10:16.880+08:00a reader sent me the same inquiry before, and I do...a reader sent me the same inquiry before, and I do agree that constipation can indirectly cause acne.<br /><br />oh man, detox programs! The memory of taking fiber drinks which result to painful monologues inside the toilet is one of my primary motivations in keeping a healthy diet and making sure I won't ever go constipated. I'm used to doing my business everyday, at a fixed schedule, so whenever I get constipated, I feel so disturbed and edgy that I would go for a detox right away.<br /><br />It's funny, though, coz whenever I "miss" my schedule, I would usually really miss it and won't be able to do it any other time of the day... which would result to me being slightly constipated on the next day.EcoBeauty Vivihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851436849391108249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978644770796785778.post-30095054245249499962012-01-06T21:22:01.825+08:002012-01-06T21:22:01.825+08:00Hi Sesame!

I do have problems going and I'm working on having more veggies than meat for my meals. I noticed my friend who does not eat meat at all has such good skin. And I'm sweating it out by going for spinning and zumba classes. In a nutshell, I want to get a daily BM and fit! :)Dawnnoreply@blogger.com
