Exercise More Frequently
Many people do not recognize the role exercise plays in relieving constipation symptoms. Several studies have found that exercise can help alleviate chronic constipation symptoms and help stool move through your bowels more easily.
While not all studies agree on the benefits of exercise to constipated patients, many agree that it does help. One study found that exercise reduced symptoms associated with constipation even though it did not increase the frequency of bowel movements.
There are several exercises you can do to ease constipation. It is best to start with mild exercises like regular long walks. If your body agrees with it, then you may add others like jogging or cycling.
