13-19 April: Sluggish, Constipated?
Commonly I see that people don’t think much about their bowel movements… until something feels off.
But this is something I want you to pay attention to.
Because being sluggish or constipated is not just about your bowels. Your body needs to eliminate waste properly. If it’s not, that waste/toxins can reabsorbed, and that starts to affect how you feel overall. Your energy, focusing, skin, hormones, your metabolism… all of it can be impacted. This makes the weight loss more challenging too.
Constipation doesn’t always look the way you think. It can show up as:
- Bloating
- Feeling heavy or sluggish
- Going daily but not feeling properly ‘finished’
- Low energy or brain fog
- Low appetite, especially in the morning
- And other symptoms
So a lot of people think they’re fine… when their digestion actually needs support.
This is why, as naturopaths and nutritionists, we focus so much on digestion. Because if this part isn’t working properly, the rest of your health will struggle to improve.
I know that many women over 40 are dealing with this without realising it. Hormonal changes, slower metabolism, stress… it all plays a role. But instead of jumping into lots of different things, I would first make sure the bowels are working properly. That’s where everything should start.
So before anything complicated, come back to the basics:
- Move your body daily — walking is enough
- Stay hydrated — actual water, not just coffee or tea
- Get fibre from real foods — vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds (not just fibre powders)
These are simple tips to start off with, but they matter more than people think.
