Here are some suggestions to help relieve constipation:

1. Drink more water - at least 8 - 10 glasses depending on your size.
2. Eat more fresh fruits and veggies.
3. Eat more fiber containing foods such as whole wheat bread, brown rice, and other unrefined, unprocessed foods.
4. Chew your food well. That will help you digest it and eliminate it better.
5. Add some extra fiber in the form of ground flax seeds (add them to your cereal or smoothies), or psyllium. If you take these, you absolutely must drink a lot of water. Otherwise, you may become even more constipated.
6. If you're really blocked up, consider taking a laxative herbal tea (e.g. senna, cascara sagrada, turkey rhubarb, etc). You don't want to depend on these though. These are only for occasional use only.
7. Get some regular exercise to get things moving. Walking for 20 - 30 minutes each day should help.
8. Deep breathing exercises can also help.
9. Train yourself to go to the bathroom at the same time each day. This is easier said than done given the hectic schedules that we all seem to have these days!Health Question & Answer

If it is just occasional, drink a cup of Senna leaf tea in the evening & it usually works overnight. Most health food stores carry it either in Alvita brand or Traditional Medicinals.

Constipation that is chronic can be alleviated by more exercise, more fluid intake, more fiber (whole grains, raw veggies, psyllium seed, beans, raisins) and getting into a routine. While you're getting back on track, it helps to avoid dairy foods, tannins like tea and iron supplements.Health Question & Answer
