Before you go to bed, put some live natural yoghurt (contains friendly bacteria, lactobaccilus and bifobacterium which aid digestion), use goats or sheeps yoghurt if you are avoiding dairy, and mix with some orange or other fruit juice (freshly juiced by yourself, even better!) or even water to form a shake. Throw in a handful of porridge oats, a couple of chopped prunes, goji berries, (much nicer soaked anyway!) dates or apricots and sprinkle over Linwoods powdered seed mix.
This is great stuff and costs £4.99 from Sainsburys or Holland and Barrett. (costs £8.00 on their website!) The seeds have already been ground so they are much easier for the body to absorb. It is really delicious mixed in with yoghurt or sprinkled into soups or over porridge. Babies and toddlers love it too mixed in with some natural yoghurt as the goji berries give it a delicious sweet taste. Even fresher and better would be to buy organic seeds of your choice and grind them as and when you need, using this great coffee and herb grinder from Argos. It is always best to have ground seeds because whole seeds are not digested by the intestine and they just pass through. Therefore, it gives your body no nutritional benefits.
Leave oat mixture in fridge to ferment overnight, and eat in the morning on its own or with some fresh fruit or berries. You could also take to work for a mid morning snack. Great to get those bowels moving! Also try a cereal called 'grapenuts', low in fat, high in fibre with no added sugar. It's in a much smaller box than normal cereals so I found it a job to find the first time I looked for it. I know sainsburys sell it. Not that exciting but tastier if you add it to the concoction above in the morning just before you eat it - it gives it a nice crunch!
