Low Fibre Diet
Research has shown that increasing your dietary fiber intake you eat could stimulate regular bowel movements. [3] A recent study showed that up to seventy-seven percent of people suffering from chronic constipation found relief by increasing their dietary fiber. Healthy amounts of fiber must be taken alongside lots of water to correct this health condition. Too much dietary fiber with a shortage of body fluids may worsen constipation.
Lack of Exercise (Physical Inactivity)
Lack of regular or frequent exercising may cause constipation. [4] Reports have shown that people who exercise regularly, are less likely to develop constipation. The colon responds to activity because it decreases the time it takes for food to digest. This reduces the amount of water absorbed from the stool into the body, encouraging soft stool for easy bowel passage.
Also, strong and healthy muscles are essential for regular bowel movements.
