Constipation is a very common problem today.
Because of constipation, you might experience a lot of discomfort in your day-to-day life.
Here are some easy solutions that will come handy.
Eat more fibre
Foods that contain the most amount of fibre are:
Drink plenty of water
Consistent hydration is important for good bowel movement.
It helps to stimulate the digestive tract in breaking down food which in turn prevents constipation.
Drink at least 3 to 4 litres of water in a day.
Exercise regularly
Skipping workout just makes you lethargic and is bad for your bowel movement.
Working out at least five days in a week boosts proper digestion.
Go for any kind of workout like running, walking, yoga, aerobics or just make sure that you engage in some sort of activity.
Stop Stressing
Stress can interfere with the relaxation of whole body including bowel movements.
It is important to do some activity to get rid of stress like meditation, exercise and proper sleep.

A balanced diet boosts your metabolism and keeps your bowel system healthy.
Always go for simple home cooked meals to avoid feeling any discomfort and bloating.
