constipation

when drinking prune juice should it be a everyday thing.

anyone know?

Elaborate please!  Are you drinking prune juice everyday and are constipated, or are you asking if drinking prune juice everyday is okay? Because yes, drinking prune juice everyday would be helpful for the digestive tract, BUT... instead you should drink some water with fresh lemon and eat a plum. You don't get as many benefits with drinking fruit juices as you would from eating the fruit, and you get a ton of sugar and unnecessary extra calories. Like a single 8 oz. glass of orange juice is about equivalent (in calories) to eating 2-3 oranges.

I am meaning for constipation....would I avoid constipation if I drank prune juice everyday. I drink loads of water, I eat fresh vegatables. But since I started eating healthier I have noticed a problem with constipation on a regular basis. Before I never had a problem it was clockwork for me same time everyday.

Make sure you're getting healthy fats!

Prune juice might help. It's certainly a better alternative to laxatives. Are you getting enough fiber? A lack of fiber in the diet can constipate you. Make sure you are getting at least 24g a day. Also, if you eat too much fiber without drinking enough water, that will have the same effect. I read somewhere you need about 3 oz. of water per 1 gram of fiber. Think of your system like a clogged drain. You pour the gel down there (aka the fiber), but it will just sit there and cause more blockage unless you rinse/flush it out with more water.

I've experienced some problems with constipation recently, but I started eating 1 or 2 plums a day and it seems to be clearing up the situation. :)

I had a plum for breakfast this morning. It was big, it was juicy, and it was delicious!
