Laxatives & Losing Weight
Using laxatives to lose weight? What are you doody-ing to yourself! More damage than you can know…

"In with the good, out with the bad." Seems like a pretty logical statement, doesn't it? But not when the topic is laxatives! Taking laxatives on a regular basis is like planting thousands of tiny explosives in your intestinal track. Intestinal abuse is what it is!

How do laxatives work? Well, sometimes not at all. And when they do, it can be pretty explosive! You can even become dependent upon them 'to get the job done'.

Laxatives are available in several forms. Bulk laxatives are considered the safest because they act similarly to a sponge, absorbing fluids within the body, thus expanding to increase the moisture content of the stool. The increased bulk also encourages activity in the intestinal track.

Suppositories and enemas help stimulate waves of contractions in the intestinal muscles while stool softeners add liquid to the bowels resulting in easier passage.
