2 Fingers Can Fix Constipation | Dr. Mandell
Here are some of the safe and effective ways to relieve constipation:
- Increase your fiber intake. Aim for 25-35 grams of fiber per day. Good sources of fiber include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.
- Drink plenty of fluids. Aim for 8-10 glasses of water per day.
- Exercise regularly. Exercise helps to keep your bowels moving. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.
- Use a laxative or suppository. If your constipation is severe or does not improve with home remedies, you may need to use a laxative or suppository. Talk to your doctor about which type of laxative or suppository is right for you.
