HOW TO RELIEVE CONSTIPATION
What is Constipation (irregularity)?
- A condition in which your stools pass
more slowly than usual through the
bowels (intestines).
- This usually occurs when too much water is removed from the stools and they become hardened, making
it difficult to have bowel movements.
What Causes Constipation?
Many people experience constipation due
to a change in diet or dehydration. However,
it can also be caused by:
- A lack of sufficient fiber in the diet
- An illness or pregnancy
- A lack of physical activity
- Over-the-Counter medications such as cough syrups, sedatives, and antacids
- Commonly prescribed medications for cholesterol, depression and cancer

tissues to provide a soft stool
