Green Smoothie Side Effects You May Not Expect

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.

Bloating, constipation, gas, and weight gain are all possible when beginning to drink green smoothies. Our bodies respond to all this nutrition by ridding itself of the toxin stored in it for decades. All of these side effects are a result of that process.

Constipation is normally the result of the digestive tract beginning to dissolve and eject toxic materials a hardened coating that has accumulated on the walls for years. With thirty feet to clean (length of the intestine and colon), there is probably a lot of sludge that needs to be eliminated. Again, you will discover lots of causes for constipation and intestinal gas. Fortunately, this won't last forever though it might take a while to clean all the chips, pizza, and burgers out of the system.

Increase your intake of water and get plenty of rest to help the peristalsis process (movement of waste through the intestine and colon) do its job and speed the process of elimination. To help with gas, don't consume high in fat snacks at the same time you drink your green smoothie. Soon, the advantages of the smoothie diet will begin to reveal positive results. Without being too graphic your movements will at some point start to be more frequent (as they should since we eat three meals a day) and be without as much effort. The unwanted gas may carry on for 2 or 3 months as the body continues ridding itself of contaminants. After a while, every thing will return to normal and there won't be any problems.

Give you body time to readjust to the healthy lifestyle you are now subjecting it to and it will soon have you functioning in tip-top shape. I understand some of the side effects when starting to drink fruit/green smoothies sound fairly embarrassing. As with any thorough house cleanup, there's always going to be several messes and dust thrown about during the process. However, you will soon agree the efforts where all worthwhile once things begin to work better than they have in a long while.
