Ways to Avoid Straining When You Poop
To avoid strain hole you poop, you need to target a healthy digestive system; ways to maintain a healthy digestive system include:
Eat a balanced diet and drink enough water
Simple bowel movements:
- Consuming high-fiber foods [10], such as whole grains, fruits, beans, veggies, and nuts, might give your poop more weight while keeping it soft and simple to pass.
- Eat fewer foods that are low in fiber (dairy, meat, processed snack foods).
Men should drink about 15 ½ cups of fluid per day, compared to roughly 11 ½ cups for women. Fluid is produced by:
- water
- drinks
- food (represents about 20 percent of total fluid intake)
If you’re not keeping track of your hydration intake, it’s likely sufficient if:
- You hardly ever feel thirsty
- Your urine is extremely pale yellow or colorless.
Harvard Medical School advises patients to gradually consume 4 to 6 cups of water throughout the day.
