Having regular bowel movements is essential for proper detoxification and optimal health. While having bowel movements anywhere between 3 times per week to 3 times per day is generally considered normal, having less than daily bowel movements is not optimal.

Ideally, we should have at least 1 to 2 bowel movements every day. Daily bowel movements help clear toxins and wastes out of the body and encourage optimal health.

Here are three preliminary steps to help with regular bowel movements:
🚰 Stay hydrated. As a rule of thumb, minimum daily water requirement is half your body weight in ounces (for example, if you weigh 140 lb, you’d need minimum 70 oz of water per day). This amount includes other water-containing fluids and non-caffeinated non-alcoholic beverages like herbal teas as well.

🥗 Eat enough fiber every day. In general, adults should aim for minimum 30-40 grams of fiber per day.

🏃‍♀️🏃Move your body daily. Regular exercise helps keep the everything moving, and aids in proper movement of the digestive system as well.

It’s true! Digestive health is key in preserving physical, mental and emotional health. This is because, it’s through our digestive system that we:
* Breakdown the food we eat
* Extract and absorb vitamins and other essential nutrients required for the health of our muscles, joints, bones, nervous system, brain, blood and skin
* Detoxify toxins and excrete waste
* Produce neurotransmitters (small molecules) required for the function of our nervous system

With a compromised digestive system, we may suffer from ailments that are resulted from nutrient deficiencies/insufficiencies, inflammation, and overload of toxins/wastes, and may experience mood issues.

If dealing with chronic digestive issues such as diarrhea, constipation, abdominal discomfort, reflux, or indigestion, make sure to seek care and address the root cause of your symptoms so you can prevent any further health issues.

I am a big fan of effective at-home treatments that would empower us to take care of our health in the comfort of our homes. “Warming Socks” is one of my favorites! 🧦💧It is a hydrotherapy treatment that employs the healing power of water to enhance the immune system. 💦I did this wonderful treatment on myself the other day and thought I should share the steps with you. 😊
 
Warming Socks is usually done overnight; it may help with fever, congestion, headaches, respiratory infections, and overall wellness. People usually sleep better while on this treatment and feel more refreshed the day after.
 
📥 You will need:
·      1 pair of cotton socks
·      1 pair of wool socks
·      Warm foot bath (optional)
·      Towel
 
🎬 Here is how it’s done:
1. Warm the feet in warm water for about 5 minutes and dry with a towel.
2. Soak the cotton socks in cold or ice-cold water.
3. Wring the socks out and put them on.
4. Wear the wool socks on top of the wet cotton socks.
5. Go to bed with the socks on. You’ll find them completely dry in the morning.
 
🧐 How it works:
During the treatment, the body brings more blood flow to the feet to keep them warm. This will increase the blood circulation throughout the body and stimulate the immune system overnight. The activated immune system will help the body heal and recover faster and will improve our sense of wellbeing.
 
The best is to repeat the treatment for a few nights in a row.
 
‼️Note: Please consult with your medical provider before starting this treatment. This treatment may not be suitable for individuals with certain conditions, such as Raynaud’s disease/syndrome, arterial insufficiency, or advanced intermittent claudication.
