🌿 Natural Gut-Cleansing Morning Mix
“2 Tablespoons in the Morning” Recipe to Relieve Constipation Naturally
✅ Benefits:
- Promotes regular bowel movements
- Gently cleanses the colon
- Softens stool and relieves bloating
- Supports gut health and digestion
- Natural and safe for long-term use (if no allergies)
📝 Ingredients (for 1 serving):
- 2 tablespoons of chia seeds (or ground flaxseeds)
- 1 cup (250 ml) of warm water (or almond milk / oat milk)
- 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup (optional, for taste)
- 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice or apple cider vinegar (optional, for digestion boost)
- (Optional additions):
- A pinch of cinnamon (anti-inflammatory, improves taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon psyllium husk (for stronger fiber effect – only for experienced users)
👨🍳 Instructions:
- Soak the chia seeds:
- Add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds to a glass or jar.
- Pour in the warm water (or your preferred liquid).
- Stir well to avoid clumping.
- Let it sit for 10–15 minutes (or overnight in the fridge):
- The chia seeds will expand and form a gel-like texture. This is the soluble fiber at work, which is what helps move your bowels gently.
- Add honey/lemon/apple cider vinegar:
- Mix in your optional flavorings to enhance taste and digestive benefits.
- Drink on an empty stomach in the morning:
- Consume the full glass (including the seeds).
- Follow with a glass of plain water if desired.
💩 What to Expect:
- Within a few hours or by the next day, you may experience gentle and complete bowel movements.
- It may loosen stool, reduce bloating, and help you feel “lighter.”
- Effects can last for a few days, especially if you stay hydrated and eat fiber-rich meals.
⚠️ Important Notes:
- Hydration is key – Always drink enough water throughout the day when using chia or flax. Fiber without water can cause the opposite effect (blockage).
- Start slow if you’re new to high fiber – Begin with 1 tablespoon and increase gradually.
- Not for children under 12, unless advised by a healthcare provider.
- Avoid if allergic to seeds or if you have a medical condition related to digestion or swallowing.
💡 Why It Works:
- Chia seeds are rich in soluble fiber, which swells in your gut and helps move stool smoothly.
- Lemon or ACV stimulates bile and digestive enzymes.
- Honey has mild laxative and prebiotic effects.
