DR. BRALY'S WATER REGIMEN
For those of you familiar with Peter Sklar, this is one confirmation of his water regimen.
"Peter Sklar Points" are in red.
Since poor diet is a major cause of constipation, a healthy diet is a key to elimination. The general recommendation is to change to a high-fiber diet rich in carbohydrates, vegetables, and fruits. Dr. Donovan emphasizes that increasing dietary fiber increases the frequency and quantity of bowel movements.
Sometimes people avoid increasing fiber because they find it less palatable than the highly refined diet they have grown used to. Others object to the increase in flatulence and bloating that resulted from taking in too much bran too fast. According to Dr. Donovan, this problem can be easily corrected by increasing fiber intake gradually or using more mucilaginous (thick, sticky) forms of bran such as psyllium seeds or linseed (flax).
The amount of fluids people drink is another important consideration in the treatment of constipation. Dr. Braly recommends a minimum of six to eight glasses of pure water per day. In order to promote proper digestion, however, high liquid intake should occur away from mealtimes, because consuming excessive liquids with food reduces digestive functions.
