Let us change our life style

If you follow good life style, food habits and toilet habits, constipation won’t affect you. Try to go to toilet exactly at the same time every day, as our body and digestive system are adjusted to it, just like a clock or alarm. Never try to control it or delay for a while, due to some inconvenience. If so stool losses water contents, thickens and it turns more difficult. When you wake up in the morning, wash your face and mouth, and drink two glasses of fresh water. Walk for half an hour and come back. Your digestion process will be perfectly OK.

Drink a lot of water and eat plenty of fruits

Drink plenty of water, at least 8 glasses a day. Include fiber rich vegetables, leafy vegetables and fruits in your daily diet. As fibers are indigestible it increases the amount of stool, making your toilet-going process easy. Chew your food well, so that digestion process runs without any issues. If you have digestion issues, it leads to constipation. When you take more time to chew food, it gets mixed with saliva and enzymes, which help easy digestion. Fast food and non-vegetarian dishes don’t have fiber content. Excess use of these items can lead to constipation.
