Deep Thoughts about Female Constipation + Two Recipes

And Simple Ways to Solve Our Problem + Two Winter Friendly Recipes

Women often feel embarrassed discussing this topic but the taboo is not helping anyone!

The winter holidays are coming up, and all of us are likely to experience some digestive issues. Factors such as our habit of over indulging in food, and changes to bathroom habits while traveling and visiting family all have an impact. So I’m sharing my tip now in hopes we can all have a healthier and more physically comfortable holiday. 

I wrote a post “Review of Oxy-powder and deep thoughts about female constipation” where I share about a constipation experience while traveling this fall. I am so proud of myself that instead of suffering in silence, I reached out to a health professional and they recommended Oxy-powder to me.

In the post, I share more details about this story, my honest review of Oxy-Powder supplements along with some ways in which women are uniquely impacted by constipation and other digestion issues.

Gut Friendly Recipe

This community recipe is Benedetta’s Herbed Pumpkin Spread Recipe. Benedetta just published Cooking alla Giudia: A Celebration of the Jewish Food of Italy. This Herbed Pumpkin Spread Recipe is from her cookbook.

Besides being delicious and simple to make, its gut friendly becaus pumpkin is a good source of fiber. I often serve pumpkin spread (instead of hummus) with Challah for Shabbat.

Cozy Winter Recipe

Sarah’s Artichoke and Pea Orzo Pasta Recipe is an unctuous pasta dish with complex flavors. It is cooked slowly, stirred over medium heat in a similar way to risotto. The result is a warming stew-like pasta dish, with bright green pops from peas and artichoke.

A perfect recipe for these cold winter days and nights.

Hope these resources help you have a healthy and physically comfortable holiday.
