How come whenever we start consuming beneficial smoothies does our body appear to react in completely differently way than we expect? I know I experienced headaches, bowel problems, and a scarcity of get up and go when I began on the green smoothie way of life about a year ago.
Flatulence and constipation are two things that could initially happen from drinking smoothies. There tends to be consequences linked with change, and our bodies are no different. It has needed the raw food nutrition we are providing it for a very long time, and now that it is getting it, our body is can concentrate on cleaning itself of all the toxins and sludge that's been accumulating for decades, probably decades. The result of all this cleaning from within is what you're experiencing.
Constipation is normally the result of the digestive tract starting to dissolve and release sludge that has been present for years. Since there is over 30 feet of intestines and colon in our body, that's a lot of released material that can accumulate and clog us up for a short period of time. Not only that, but every other organ in our body is beginning their house cleaning process as well and there are only a few ways to get rid of the accumulated trash - nose, mouth, eyes, skin, or colon. Again, there exists a variety of causes for constipation and intestinal gas. But to coin another appropriate saying, "This too shall pass." Literally.
To help move everything through you systems quicker, drink a lot of water, eight 8 Oz servings a day if possible, and get plenty of rest. Very soon, the advantages of the fruit and green smoothie diet will start to yield good effects. Without being too graphic your bowel movements will eventually start to be more frequent (as they should since we eat three meals a day) and be without much effort. The passing of gas may remain for a little while as the body continues to eliminate waste and toxins that have accumulated throughout the body. At some point, every thing will be okay and there won't be any setbacks.
Give you body time to readjust to the healthy lifestyle you are now subjecting it to and it will soon have you functioning in tip-top shape. I understand some of the side effects when starting to drink fruit/green smoothies sound fairly embarrassing. As with any thorough house cleanup, there's always going to be several messes and dust thrown about during the process. However, you will soon agree the efforts where all worthwhile once things begin to work better than they have in a long while.
