Today, a new generation of parents are taking a first-hand approach to their children’s health. Yet, the dietary habits and sedentary lifestyles that an alarming number of children are allowed to follow remains a global concern. Increasing awareness among today’s moms and dads is a good step in the right direction.

In the spirit of this new found emphasis on holistic pediatric health, many parents have begun to incorporate their own natural health and lifestyle practices. This frequently includes things like whole body detoxification and colon cleansing. While these parents encourage their children to eat healthy, they may still have digestive difficulties and blockages.

While it may seem obvious that kids who enjoy eating these healthy foods are more likely to exhibit healthy bowel function and regularity than their more finicky peers, the large difference between the two groups is still surprising.

Professor Yuk Ling Chan, a researcher at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and his associate Dr. Moon Fai Chan (no relation) of the National University of Singapore, conducted the in-depth survey-based investigation into constipation with the help of just under 400 Hong Kong students.

The children, ranging in ages eight to ten years, were each asked to answer a series of questions regarding both their dietary and bathroom habits. By analyzing the results, the two researchers were able to estimate a 13 fold increase in functional constipation among children who do not like eating fruits and vegetables. They also found that children who regularly drink less than 400 ml of fluid per day are eight times more likely to become constipated, and that boys, overall, were slightly less prone to developing symptoms of constipation.

Ask just about any parent if their child has ever been constipated, and they’ll probably say yes. Dealing with slight, occasional constipation is perfectly normal for small bodies. Unfortunately, it seems that these periodic bouts are becoming increasingly common and severe in many young children, according to a new report from John Hopkins Children’s Center in Baltimore.

In response to this growing trend, gastroenterology specialists at John Hopkins Children’s Center have recently created a new multidisciplinary medical and behavioral therapy clinic aimed specifically at treating constipation in children.

This may seem a little excessive, even for a top-tier research institute like John Hopkins, but considering they’ve noticed a more than 30% increase in the number of young patients suffering from constipation, opening this new clinic may be a prudent measure, to say the least.

What happens if toxins are not eliminated from the colon on a regular basis?

A healthy colon is essential for your overall well-being. If your digestive systems is unable to eliminate all of the fecal matter in your colon, over time, toxins may start leaking into the bloodstream, a process known as “leaky gut syndrome.” This may contribute to various degenerative diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease and chronic constipation. Other symptoms of toxins in the bowel may include, bowel obstruction, inflammation, back pain, bloating, skin problems, fatigue, moodiness, depression and excess intestinal gas – and that’s just to name a few.

Statistics show that constipation and other digestive disorders afflict 1 out of every 5 people in America, with the average person carrying approximately 10-15 lbs of impacted waste in their colon. It is estimated that 30 percent of Americans suffer with chronic constipation. It is also estimated by the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse that over 4 million Americans suffer from constipation symptoms frequently, which leads to 2.5 million visits to the doctor every year.
