Are There Side Effects to Drinking Green Smoothies?

By Steve Austin


Why is it whenever we start drinking nourishing green smoothies does our entire body seem to behave in differently than the way we hope for? I had constipation, enough gas to heat a small city, headaches, and a general loss of get up and go after I started on a green smoothie strategy early last year.

Flatulence and constipation are two things that could initially happen from drinking smoothies. There tends to be consequences linked with change, and our bodies are no different. It has needed the raw food nutrition we are providing it for a very long time, and now that it is getting it, our body is can concentrate on cleaning itself of all the toxins and sludge that's been accumulating for decades, probably decades. The result of all this cleaning from within is what you're experiencing.

Constipation is many times the result of the intestinal tract beginning to break down and eject sludge that has lined its walls for a very long time. With over 30 feet of digestive tract to clean, there is probably a lot of gunk that needs to be cleaned off. Not only that, but every other organ in your body is beginning their house cleaning process as well. And there are only a few ways to get rid of the accumulated trash - nose, mouth, eyes, skin, or colon. Though there exists many causes for constipation and gas, there is a phrase that is appropriate to pass on - "This too shall pass."

To help move everything through you systems quicker, drink a lot of water, eight 8 Oz servings a day if possible, and get plenty of rest. Very soon, the advantages of the fruit and green smoothie diet will start to yield good effects. Without being too graphic your bowel movements will eventually start to be more frequent (as they should since we eat three meals a day) and be without much effort. The passing of gas may remain for a little while as the body continues to eliminate waste and toxins that have accumulated throughout the body. At some point, every thing will be okay and there won't be any setbacks.

It's important to remember you didn't get your body in such sad shape overnight and your body can't reverse the effects of your previous eating habits overnight either. I realize a few of the green smoothie side effects sound pretty embarrassing. Simply think of it as a housecleaning party and there are surely going to be lots of little messes made and dust kicked during the cleanup. However, you will shortly realize the efforts where all worthwhile once things start to work better than they have in a long while. The few months of minor annoyances will be all worthwhile once your body has had time to clean itself from the inside out.
