Leafy Greens for Constipation

Beverly Meyer, Clinical Nutritionist, MBA

Leafy Greens for Constipation // OnDietAndHealth.com
You’ve heard about leafy greens for constipation, right?  Who do they work so well?

There are many causes of constipation. BUT, like everything else in Natural Health, it’s a process of experimenting on yourself and talking with a good Naturopath to rule out some of the obvious choices.

We’ve all heard for decades that FIBER was the key, but for those of us who follow a Species-Appropriate Diet such as Paleo or my Diet For Human Beings, we’re just not that into fiber for its own sake.

I eat 6 to 8 cups of cooked vegetables daily, along with some salads and a little fruit.  The key is having a good 12 quart stockpot with a steamer insert that will let you cook bunches of leafy greens at one time.  (Here’s one I recommend).  Kale, chard, dandelion greens, collards, mustard greens, spinach and all the lettuce family need room to start out big, but wilt down as they cook.  I like all of them alone or in combination with others.

Want more info on leafy greens for constipation?

My recent blog post and Podcast on Causes of Constipation has lots more tips. Meanwhile, one EASY way to help a sluggish bowel is to eat 2 to 3 cups of cooked green leafy veggies daily.  Experiment with the quantity YOU need. And feel free to share any other food tips for moving the bowel.  Thanks!

What you do helped save my life. Medications were destroying my Connective Tissue. Using supplements and diet let me manage my HSV. My health has finally started to improve. Thank you for all you do to help people like me.

Telling you three of the most wonderful words one can say: You were right! I am feeling so much better. The diet is really easy to follow and prepare. Thank you!

I learned more in 2 hours of Consults with Beverly than the last 10 doctors I’d seen. She built a custom supplement program for me and really fine-tuned my diet. I am in awe.

I’m really enjoying your podcasts and all the information you share. I have learned so much about what my body is telling me and about supplements.

Thanks to you I have made myself more aware – not just getting tests done but researching and following up – “GROW UP” – great advice. I look forward to reading your blogs.
