Problem with constipation at 82.
Look for potential causes of constipation, and they can be many. And they tend to worsen with age because of such things as: - digesting less well (and maybe eating less) ripe papaya flavoured with lime juice, or in a fruit salad, works well for me. It contains a digestive enzyme. In my carnivorous days in the bush, tough meat could be tenderised by leaving it wrapped in papaya. Pineapple is also said to contain a digestive enzyme. You can buy digestive enzymes as supplements, but they cost a fortune. - taking less exercise walking helps, but a bicycle is an easier way of getting around, and more practical for carrying groceries etc. At the height of the rainy season, standing for 10 minutes on a Vibrating Plate (available through on-line sources) can be a great help. Best just before taking one's morning shower. Other factors to consider: Lack of adequate water intake. Drink till satiated, especially in hotter weather when much is lost as sweat. And consider consuming slightly salty soups Using a high, western-style toilet-bowl of the type commonly attributed to Thomas Crapper. Useful if you wish to sit and read the morning's newspaper, a ritual now largely relegated to the past. The traditional Thai squat toilet is superior as regards voiding the colon, as squatting brings into play muscular activity. Maintaining tone of abdominal muscles is of course also indicated. Dysbiosis of the gut, caused mainly by unbalanced modern diets, preservatives and other chemicals in industrialised foods, and antibiotics in medicines and animal products. Can cause a gamut of problems, some potentially leading to premature death. Eat organic where possible. Avoid ultra-processed foods. Eat fermented foods such as yoghurts, sauerkraut, kimchi. Full of healthy bacteria if unpasteurised. Must be uncooked. Failing which take prepared probiotics of the kind containing a minimum of about 15 billion bacteria per dose. Expensive to produce, expensive to buy. Not what you will find in your local pharmacy. Avoid the consumption of sugars, except what is naturally present in foods. And restrict consumption of all carbohydrates (especially the fast-digesting ones), as they digest to glucose. Note there are ways to slow down their digestion. The slowest-digesting carbs are found in the bean family where they are a single long-chain molecule composed of glucose groups. Grain carbs are multi-branched, so can be digested (i.e. the glucose broken off) from multiple positions simultaneously. A colonic cleanse once a year constitutes a useful 'spring-clean', and it can be instructive to see what comes out. For years my colon was infested with unimaginable amounts of candida albicans, in its filarial fungal form. But it always re-grew. Nothing would deal with it. Then one year, none was present. Why? It may have been because I had incorporated cold-pressed coconut oil into my diet. It contains caprylic acid. Healthy bacteria need prebiotics to feed on. This is provided by the soluble fibre in fruit and vegetables, and oats. Excessive consumption of insoluble fibre found in most whole grains can, by its abrasive effect on the inner lining of the intestinal walls, cause damage to that lining which is only one cell thick. The 'tight junctions' of the lining control what passes into the blood. Its progressive destruction is a first step in overwhelming the body's immune system. Those born at a time of close conjunction Moon-Neptune are said to be naturally prone to chronic constipation. When I heard this, nearly fifty years ago, my ears pricked up. It helped to explain my need for constant vigilance in combatting the tendency. -

Trump’s Justice Department: Fear and Fallout as Revenge Prosecutions Loom The far-Left and the Democrats opened the Lawfare bottle, let the genie out, and asked for Trump to be "convicted of felonies on multiple counts." The genie granted their wishes, and then Trump won the Presidency. Genie: "You should have asked for Trump to lose. And oh, by the way, Trump now has his wishes. Sucks to be you." Moral of the story - Don't uncork the Lawfare Genie bottle - Ever! -

The Exodus of Left-Wing Voices: Where Will They Bleat Now?
Hopefully, there will not be an "Exodus' of left-wing voices. I know mine will not go away. Trump's administration will start deteriorating in a couple of years, and most of those who voted for Trump will start realizing what a poor choice they made. Then, hopefully, the left-wing voices will still be here and offer a way out of the devastation Trump and his cronies have caused. . -

Challenges Charging Thailand's Electric Vehicle Ambitions Despite Chinese Investment
For me the PROS of EVs are still outweighed by the CONS and, it seems from the slump in sales in many countries people are turning back to ICE and hybrids. -
