Hi,
* Taking medicines/laxatives for constipation is hbbit forming & ineffective after some time.
So the laxatives and stool softners are to be used with reservations.
* life style changes do control constipation . They are-
Eating balanced diet with lots of Fibers ( fruits/vegetables/ salads/ whole grams/sprouts with skins.Avoiding fast food helps.
Lots of water /soups/juices/buttermilk through out the day.
Drinking a mug of Luke warm water with 1 tea spoon of honey & lemon juice -first thing in the morning.
Daily walking for 45 minutes and abdominal exercises for 20 minutes+
yoga for 25 minutes daily.
Have 8 hours sound sleep per day.
Form regular habit of time for deification.
Are to be incorporated in your daily routine.Few conditions like Diabetes, hypothyroidism cause bowel slowing & constipation. They need to be excluded/treated.
Thanks
