10 Steps to Resolve Constipation  

Written on Wednesday, October 5th, 2011

Did you know you should ideally have two to three complete and satisfying bowel movements a day, one for each main meal, and that they should be inoffensive in odour?  So if you aren’t visiting the toilet regularly, straining or simply leaving a nasty whiff behind and offending your house mates, friends or family, then something’s not right.

Your digestive tract is so long that if you stretched it out vertically it would be more than 5 times the length of an average adult. Just your intestines alone have a surface area the size of a tennis court and your large intestine is 1.5 metres long and 6.4cm in diameter.

So you’re probably wondering how long should it take between eating a meal and passing a stool?

How to Resolve Food Intolerances  

Written on Monday, January 31st, 2011

Did you know that the foods you have eaten all your life and that you eat everyday could be the very foods you are intolerant to? Your daily diet could be wreaking daily havoc.

Foods intolerances, also known as food sensitivities, can develop at any stage in your life, even if those foods have never caused you problems in the past.

While actual food allergies are fairly rare, affecting 2-4% of the population and 6-8% of children, food intolerances affect up to 45% of the adult population.

HydroHolistic New Website & Blog Launched  

Written on Thursday, August 12th, 2010

HydroHolistic

Welcome to my blog on Colon Health and Natural health tips. I’ve decided to start a blog as I want to share the knowledge that I have gathered over the years with you.

It’s certainly been a bit of a journey for myself and the most important tool has been knowledge. Knowledge has enabled me to make my own choices and decisions to help improve my health.  So by sharing it all with you I hope you can do the same.

It’s not about rules, it’s about choices.  I am a real-world therapist that understands modern living, especially London living.  It’s about balance, and that small changes can make a big difference.  It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.  But that knowledge will make it easier to make healthy choices.  And healthy choices don’t have to mean ‘boring’ choices or ‘boring foods’.  It’s about discovering new things or new foods and new ways to do things.
