What’s Constipation Got To Do With Your Skin?

Poop. No one likes to talk about poop, but it’s so important.  In ancient times, the Chinese Medicine doctors used to examine the stools of the emperors to detect if he had potential health problems.

In Chinese Medicine, if your bowel movements aren’t normal and regular, you’ve got a problem. When your body cannot eliminate daily toxins, it can lead to health problems and worse yet, it may be showing up on your face.  After all, toxins can affect your body’s largest organ – your skin.

How do you best protect and optimize your digestive system? Make sure your bowel movements are regular.

Here are 2 great tips for that:

1. Eat half of a small (cooked) beet.  Preferably organic.

2. Drink green tea.

(The beet may turn your urine or bowel movements slightly red but that’s to be expected from eating beets.)
