have a good and complete diet everyday don't skip breakfast lunch dinner n snack time.
make sure that your diet contains rich in fiber,and liquids.
undoubtfully u can use omega 3 tablets which are good for aged like you.
daily exercise or any physical activity make your bowel movements good.
avoid junk foods.
use some antacids for relief.

Dear Rahul,
The causes of constipation can be:
1. Any pathology/ sub acute obstruction in the Gastrointestinal tract
2. Irritable bowel syndrome- constipation predominant type.
3. Functional cause- due to decreased gastric motility
4. Inadequate intake of fluids & fiber rich diet
5. Hormonal & Metabolic causes, etc.
Though symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of Laxatives, their regular use is not advised.
And as long as the underlying cause is not treated, symptoms will keep recurring.
So, kindly consult a Gastroenterologist & get a proper physical examination done.
Investigations like complete blood count, Ultrasound scan of abdomen, Colonoscopy & contrast studies will be helpful to rule out any pathological cause for your symptoms.
There is no need to worry, you will be fine.
Till then, maintain adequate hydration & proper nutrition status.
Wishing a good health.
Take care.
