Awe Crap!

When many think of what it takes to be beautiful. A few thoughts come to mind. First there are the typical beauty rituals of cleansing, exfoliating, massaging and moisturizing. Another beauty ritual that comes to mind is exercising. Let's see, there is the warm up/stretch out, the actual workout, getting the blood/oxygen flowing, then there is the cool down finished with more stretching and an affirmation here and there. Also, putting on nice clothes, make up and or perfume also comes to mind when one thinks of beauty rituals. With all the above mentioned; no wonder beauty is very sought after. The process to be beautiful appears to be beautiful in itself.

The No.2 is the new No.1

Now let's cut through the chase and get down to business. Almost everybody remembers the old adage, "Beauty is skin deep; but ugly is to the bones!" Beauty may not be all the way skin deep and ugly surely isn't completely to the bones. What really makes one beauty is what is on the inside. Yeah, yeah, yeah I know. How many tines have we heard that before? Well, to be honest; mother was right again. Beauty does start on the inside and is completed with a BM! A BM you ask? Yes, BM as in bowel movement, poopie, doodie, potty and all those other cute names to make what is so grossly normal sound cute. A good old fashioned BM is responsible for the external beauty most truly admire.

What things in external beauty do most admire? Most admire intelligence, great personality, flat stomachs, clear skin, and of course my favorite in beauty; beautiful shiny hair. No need to re-read the first sentence in this paragraph because it is true. Bowel movements are somewhat a taboo topic of conversation and suggestion in the world of beauty. Contrary to most beauty approaches and recommendation; bowel movements should always be included in the discussion of health and beauty goals. What is it about bowel movements that makes you intelligent, have clear skin, a flat stomach, a great personality and beautiful shiny hair you ask?

Viveca, a Blooger of "Fatigue Be Gone," writes this about constipation and irregular bowel movements; "Constipation feeds fatigue, literally. Because toxins aren't being eliminated properly, they are in fact building up and demanding more of your body's energy to process and store." That is correct. When toxins are not eliminated regularly and properly; those toxins begin to tax the body in more ways than one. The result typically starts with a sluggish performance in the brain; thus making you moody and unable to concentrate to do the task at hand with excellence.

The battle of the bulge begins on the toilet with one our grand parents famous sayings, "Poop or get off the pot!" If you get off the pot and do not poop, the bulge will win!" If bowel movements don’t occur on a daily basis, where does it go? It's stored in the colon, which becomes more and more impacted over time, causing the belly to bulge. The excess fecal matter is stored in the body and it WILL add weight to the body. The more impacted the colon becomes, the more weight you carry." says Nutritionist, Linda Keith Anderson. So making significant changes in what you eat and how much becomes pertinent in one's determination to rid that unwanted bulge. While fancy pills, massages and the likes help; nothing will "move them kits" like fiber, water and exercise. Please keep in mind that nothing will undo all of your efforts like a night out with wings, fries, chips and dips. Understand that impacted fecal matter, improper elimination, constipation or diarrhea not only makes you cranky, sluggish in your thought and have unwanted bulge; it also is responsible for the cause of unwanted acne as well. Because the skin is it largest organ of the body; it is quick to reveal the inner workings of your body or what is lacking in the body  via the skin. The skin truly tells the doctor many things we hide, deny or fib about.

Lastly, my favorite; hair! Hair is skin. Again skin is the largest organ of the body. I can tell my customers more about what is and what is not going on in their bodies simply by analyzing their hair. To date, I have always been right. Before you run out to purchase expensive moisturizing treatments; drink water. If limp, shedding an hair breakage frightens you; add foods that are rich in protein to strengthen hair versus a protein treatment. If it is longer hair you are after; exercise, increase fiber intake, dark green vegetables, have a good BM and I guarantee long, strong and shiny hair will always be the result.

Understand that bowel movements are very different from person to person; but eliminating at least 2-3 times per day will suffice; though after every meal would be excellent.

Refrain from pills, diets and fads that "make you go." Instead drink more water and eat foods like oatmeal, wheat based cereals, dark green vegetables and adding healthy oils to your diet such as olive oil or/and flax seed oil to help promote regular and proper elimination. If you feel that you are not eliminating properly, do not play doctor. Visit your doctor for product diagnosis.

Now, the next time you see a beautiful person, with a flat stomach, a great personality accentuated by great hair; you will now say to yourself; "I bet she/he boo boo'd today!"
