Because we live in an “instant” age, fast foods have become the order of the day. In North America we love our fast food. People just don’t know what it is to eat healthy. As long as you can grab some sandwich, burger or fried chicken and the stomach feels full, everything’s fine. As a result, foods are not readily digested. A healthy menu should be on the top of the list for solving constipation. With fast food fiber necessary to stimulate bowel movement is almost non-existent. Together with fiber we need lots of fluid and our intake of WATER is definitely inadequate. I highlight the word WATER as I would want to draw some attention to it. Young people love the soft drink, well not only young people but they are the target group for habit forming tendencies.

People don’t drink Water these days -at least not enough to compensate for bodily needs. Hence, when the feces get to the rectum, the little moisture remaining in it is absorbed. Because stooling requires moisture to enable the easy passage, it becomes hard to freely pass stool. That’s why there is a lot of straining to eliminate the waste. Another part that we mustn’t forget is exercise.
People, who don’t take care of themselves physically, tend to easily develop constipation as a result of the fact they are not involved in any sort of exercise. One of the very first recommendations for those who need constipation help is exercise. The fact that you move around would improve your bowel movements and hasten the relief of constipation.

Pregnant women also suffer from constipation as a result of a change in hormonal balance in the body and also because of the pressure of the now occupied uterus on the intestine.
After the cause of constipation has been determined and you know what is causing your constipation it becomes time to solve the problem and the first thing to do is to eat lots of fiber.
Dietary fiber, which is also known as bulk forming laxatives, is gotten from the consumption of fruits and vegetables. The easiest way to incorporate this into your lifestyle is by increasing the quantity of fruits and vegetables in your meals and cutting down on the excess of dairy and meat products. In some cases however, some individuals may find it hard to cope with the bulk of fruits needed. When this occurs, it is best that fiber supplements such as wheat bran, oat bran and psyllium seeds be added to the daily diet. To make this routine easier, when you have the itch to grab a snack, pick a fruit instead and you’re on your way to relief. The only downside to this method is if the patient has strictures and adhesions. In this circumstance, it is advisable to consult a physician before getting on in the treatment. Also, some fibers have sugar; as a result, diabetic patients cannot take such. When this occurs, it is best that the patient gets sugar-free fibers. Fibers should not be taken in large quantities suddenly. Small quantities are best for starting. Then, it can gradually increase if the patient finds it necessary. A space of one week is adequate for each phase of increase in fiber content. Sources of fiber are fruits, vegetables, Citrucel, Konsyl Fiber, Maltsupex etc.
