Constipation and its correction by exercise
Benson, C. O. (Charles Oren)
Constipation; Exercise -- Physiological aspects
_Action_: Expand chest and abdominal muscles suddenly while bringing
hands up quickly above head at the same time taking a deep breath just
as quickly as possible through the nostrils. Hold breath a few seconds
then exhale very slowly as you lower hands to starting points. Repeat
three to five times. Now take breath very slowly while bringing arms
up laterally till hands meet above head. Bring arms back to sides very
quickly and suddenly exhale completely through mouth. Repeat three to
five times.
_Remarks_: Another part can be added to the above exercise by taking a
deep breath and counting fifty without taking more breath.
The above exercises should be indulged in as you arise in the morning.
They will give you pep and vitality that is needed to carry on a
successful day. They will give the abdominal organs the workout that
will prevent and correct constipation.
These exercises are in reality liver regulators. You will undoubtedly
discover after doing these exercises that you feel better in every way.
It is essential to take several deep, long breaths between each
exercise. Do not do the same exercises every morning. Pick out five and
do them vigorously for fifteen minutes. There are enough exercises for
six days of the week; thus you will not become tired of the monotony of
exercises.
