What can I do to prevent constipation?
In many cases, you can prevent constipation by taking the following steps:
- Add more fiber to your diet: Set a dietary goal of 25 grams to 30 grams of fiber daily. Choose from a variety of high-fiber foods such as beans, broccoli, carrots, bran, whole grains and fresh fruits. To avoid bloating and gas, add these foods gradually over a period of several days.
- Drink adequate amounts of fluid: For most healthy adults, this is the equivalent of six to eight glasses of water daily.
- Begin a program of regular exercise: As little as 20 minutes of brisk walking daily can stimulate your bowels.
- Help train your digestive tract to have regular bowel movements: Schedule a 10-minute period to sit on the toilet at approximay the same time each day. The best time to do this is usually right after the morning meal.
- Do not postpone having a bowel movement until the time is more convenient: Respond to the urge without a delay.
