Why is it whenever we start drinking nourishing green smoothies does our entire body seem to behave in differently than the way we hope for? I had constipation, enough gas to heat a small city, headaches, and a general loss of get up and go after I started on a green smoothie strategy early last year.
Initially, constipation, bloating, and gas can all manifest when starting to drink smoothies as there tends to be repercussions associated with anything that impacts our body. Your body has craved since day one the newfound nutrition you are now feeding it via green smoothies. Now that it is getting it, your body is beginning to clean itself of all the toxins and sludge that's been accumulating for years, probably decades. The negative side effects experienced during this time are the result of that cleaning out process.
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.
It's important to remember you didn't get your body in such sad shape overnight and your body can't reverse the effects of your previous eating habits overnight either. I realize a few of the green smoothie side effects sound pretty embarrassing. Simply think of it as a housecleaning party and there are surely going to be lots of little messes made and dust kicked during the cleanup. However, you will shortly realize the efforts where all worthwhile once things start to work better than they have in a long while. The few months of minor annoyances will be all worthwhile once your body has had time to clean itself from the inside out.
