Constipation is characterised as unusually
hard stools, a bloated feeling and a lot of strain in passing stools and is
caused when food through the large intestine is slowed down or stopped completely.
Dietary changes, illness and some
medications are some of the causes of constipation. Constipation can be very
frustrating and this problem can be faced by anyone irrespective of age and
gender and can lead to irritation and mood swings, loss of appetite, bad
breadth, headaches, etc. It is therefore very important to remove the excess
toxins and waste from our body; if it is not eliminated that we suffer from
constipation.
All this is a result from over eating
and eating too much of fat laden foods as these foods gets converted to energy
by our body and stores it in the form of fat.
It is therefore suggested to eat fibre rich food that helps in digestion
and this prevents the accumulation of fat. Herbal laxatives are considered the
safest as it helps the normal function of the colon and can help smooth
functioning of the bowel. You can
overcome your constipation problem by eating a balanced diet, drinking lots of
water, staying active and exercising and taking a herbal laxative to bring back
normal intestinal function.
