A beautiful day
everyone, hope you are enjoying optimal wellness.
Today, I'll be sharing ways to prevent Constipation.
Constipation can be described as a situation where a person passes
less than three bowel movements a week or has difficult bowel movements. You
eat food daily but you hardly go to the toilet regularly. Ideally, a person
should have bowel movements at least once a day.

Here are a few causes of Constipation;
*Not drinking enough water or fluids.

*Ignoring the urge to pass stool.
*Lack of physical activity.

drinks, alcohol, etc
*A change in routine or lifestyle eg change in eating habits.
SYMPTOMS
