Foods which may cause or help prevent constipation.

should and shouldn't ingest. Keep in mind the following:
A) FOODS TO
AVOID:

All fried foods.

beans, cabbage, broccoli & cauliflower.
B) FOODS THAT
MAY HELP:
High fiber fresh fruits
and veggies, whole wheat, oatmeal & bran.

Water. Try to drink
between 1/2 gallon to one full gallon each day.
Whole grain bread & cereals.

and it cleans up your intestines.
It's
not just 'what you eat,' it's 'how you eat it.'
Make note of any bad eating habits you have and make the appropriate
adjustments. Try to follow these guidelines:
A) Don't hurry
while you're eating. Chew food slowly and thoroughly. Wait until your
food has been swallowed all the way into your stomach before taking
the next bite. This will help keep you from overeating.
B) Don't eat too
much in one sitting. This will only make your constipation feel even
worse. Instead of having fewer big meals, consider having more frequent smaller
meals.
C) Allow at
least 4 hours between meals.
D) Eat only when
you're hungry.
E) Keep your
meals simple. Don't mix too many different foods in one meal.
F) Eat more
fresh foods, less processed ones.
G) Make sure
your food is easily digestible.
H) Just before
each meal try to drink warm lemon juice. This is said to aid digestion.
I) Have a glass
of warm milk before sleep. This may provide constipation relief by the
next morning.
J) In severe
constipation cases, mix a glass of milk with 2 teaspoons of
castor
oil.

A)
Move your body to help prevent constipation. Do
anything to avoid being sedentary. When your body does not
move or exercise at all, your insides may replicate this, thusly
contributing to constipation. The solution may be to move your
body, preferably on a daily basis. One easy activity is walking - even walking slowly is better
than not walking at all.
B) Be
flexible around your waistline. Avoid
wearing clothes or belts that feel too tight. By wearing
tight clothing,
you are only constantly remind yourself how bad you feel. When
constipation strikes, try to wear
sweat pants, shorts or pants with a flexible waist band.
C) Don't let the moment pass.
When you first feel a need to defecate, go
to the bathroom. Any delay could extend your constipation.
